I've heard really good things about DFO but I really have to wonder what'll happen when Diablo 3 comes out. I got hooked on internet games with Starcraft and Diablo, they were top dogs back then -- in Starcraft's case, people are still playing it now. Diablo, Diablo 2, and WoW were all the foremost games of their type in the time in which they came out.
I think Nexon saw the handwriting on the wall a while ago -- namely that Maple would become outdated -- and started searching for an alternative that would let it compete with the next gen of games. From what I heard Mabinogi was modestly successful, stuff like sugar rush wasn't, and they finally hit the jackpot with DFO. Still, with an opponent like Blizzard, will that matter? I have to wonder.
