Uhh, what?

The only incompletenesses I've seen:

  1. Lack of in-game descriptions of skills and spells and such.
  Woo.  At the rate they're adding material in patches, which is
  impressive as hell, by the way, I'm hardly concerned.

  2. The thief classes don't seem to be finished (and slownewsday,
  for one, is quite upset at the recent attempts to finish them).

That's hardly an 'unfinished game'.

Black and White was an unfinished game.  The last Ultima game was
unfinished.  DAoC needs polish, at most.
