Darkfall

I can't seem to find a Darkfall thread, I was wondering if anyone else is going to play this, quite frankly this game looks brilliant gameplay wise. I know some people will think vaporware but their in beta now and due for release next month. I can't wait since the game looks brilliant.

Aye, my best friend is in love with the game, I'll probably check it out too. Hopefully they deliver on the 'no grinding' aspect.

Me and an old friend from UO are going to try it out, hopefully it won't disappoint. I'm just reluctant since it's so close to release but there's little info on the skills released yet.

UO keeps turning up...my friend is still playing UO. Plays every once and awhile.

I am at a loss about Darkfall, no idea what to think of it.

Edit: No safe zones? So will that be like UO when people could basically be highwaymen? And just wait for silly single travelers to raid and kill?

Edit2: Before they kinda took that out...

The game sounds interesting indeed. I recall watching in amazement as my friend would decorate his house in all manner of insanity...and me wondering why stuff like that wasnt in new mmo

Looked at some of the pics, and what's with the skyboxes? There's beautiful green forests with the sun shining on them, except there is no sun, and the sky is all dark and gloomy.

I don't think the game will be a success, mmorpgs never are.

Havent paid attention to the screenies...been reading more about the gameplay, which is far more interesting and important...regardless, who knows with beta shots...

I agree, I wasn't saying it was going to be a failure cause of the screens or visuals, but mmorpg's have a pretty slim chance of succeeding. I hope we get some kind of a trial version, I'll definately try it out. How long has the game been in the works? I think I heard about it way back too.

And that's about the only game that's been, unfortunately. People have too high hopes when it comes to mmorpg's, the developers can't give them exactly what the ywant, and everyone wants different things. Developers should stick to normal games.

I haven't played a good MMORPG yet, world of warcraft was a world of fun for a year or so, but it isn't that good.

Well, they would be smart to give out trial versions. And long development can be a good/bad thing. Good because they can get out all the bugs, and get a good system...bad because it might take too long and it will be outdated.

No safe zones might hurt the game. Too many people might be whiny and complain. I recall playing WoW in PvP servers and people crying up a storm when they would get ganked....

I like the fact that this seems to be open-ended, character development wise. With a dash of realism. Like 1 character per server. No safe zones. No leveling.

I mean, we shall see what happens when they start patching the game. They have about an equal chance to make a game worse or better when they start patching and adding content, or taking away content...
