I would curse IF just to cut down on the freaking lag.
By the way all you really should check out the Darkfall site. The game will be an MMOG, it sounds unreal, if they actually pull it off it will be fantastic.
Some things to note.
Mounted Combat. Player controlled ships (with catapaults and Ballistae) Player built/controlled cities All equipment can be player created No Standard spawns...i.e. you kill 4000k wolves in the same spot...wont be able to Full loot when you die Absolutely no safe zones, pvp can happen anywhere at any time. 10,000 People per server Enourmous game world...seriously huge Player created legal systems in towns they control.
