Lots of complaining on the forums regarding the part about no ranged attack/combat whilst mounted, but this comment from the forum sums up my thoughts on it:
"That is were strategy falls into play. This is not DAOC where you can run through people to get to your casters. You are going to have your own mounts and ground melee in front of your casters to protect them.
Then as the devs said that some terrain will mess up mounted combat or make it hard to fight in. Pick where and when you attack/protect with care. Maybe being on high ground will slow mounts as they rush to try to break your line as they run up the hill. Gives more time for your archers and magic users to rain down death onto them!
Fighting in DF looks like it more and more like a big tactic and strategic dream or living hell for some.
I'm not too sad about casting and archers not on mounts but at least your mounts can be near you so that when things start going bad that you can at least get on your mount and run away as your melee types die for your survival."

Villa of Ultimate Warrior of Infernal Covenant clan....
From this day forward you and your clan will be hunted like the sheep you are, strung up by some random body part, tared and feathered, wiped and salted for posting this outragous BULLCRAP.
I hear your stealing skill is directly proportional to the darkness of your skin tone.

Anyway, Darkfall could be nice if they actually manage to release it... But I wouldnt have high hopes of it getting released, it just seems like another case of vapourware :O
