I personally am in love with the concept of DarkScape. They've created a new game that's the best of both games, and added cutthroat mechanics to it. New economy, new methods, more fun. Aside from the DDoS attacks, it's solid.
Some others have posted their thoughts here: http://www.wildernessguardians.com/smf/index.php?topic=12049.0 (http://www.wildernessguardians.com/smf/index.php?topic=12049.0)
I share your views though I love the concept and I find it funny when people flame you for attacking them on an entirely PvP based game.
I just love when people start pking you, and you run back to a guard and they die. Then they come back and be like: "Can you please give me my '...' back? Stupid guards, bullshit system". Yeah buddy, that's the risk of pking in Low/Medium risk.
