Hmmm doesn't seem like this game would have long playability =\ Skill based game that requires pay per month is no thanks. Sure it sounds awesome but after 100 dollars of the same PvP, leveling skills which only minorly affect your character and no items to keep you gripped, I could see this game being dropped really quickly by a lot of people.

I quit playing MMORPG after Blizzard launched WOtLK in Nov. MMORPGs are time consuming, and this game sounds so boring. :-\

edit:

With my gear being looted, and guilds going to war, etc, etc.. I rather play Runescape and go to the PvP land and get mugged. :-\

It looks fun actually. I've never played a MMORPG, this might be my first if it turns out to be as good as the OP suggests. However, what is the cap then in terms of character development. There's no levels etc, so how far can you "improve" stuff
Apparently there are skills that you can level, like swordsmanship, crafting, etc. and the level cap is 100 (iirc) and at 100 you get a special one time use ability which after using resets your skill down to 99. Apparently it takes a long ass time to get from 99-100 so hopefully it won't become overpowered.

Also from what I hear there isn't a drastically huge advantage between low and high levels, just enough to give a slight edge to the higher level player. Like starting someone off with 8 worker units instead of 4 in SC (obligatory SC reference). However if you're skillful enough then a player just starting out should still be able to kill a maxed out player.

Although tbh I haven't kept up with the development of this game in a while so I may be completely off.



Whut?! That's quite an edge if you ask me.
It's still possible to win if you're skilled enough, although maybe my analogy kind of sucked...but hopefully you get the point.

I'm definitely playing this game when it comes out. If it has the features that it says it will have, the game will be a major success. I'm particularly looking forward to be an archer that snipes ppl before they even have a chance.

Yeah for those who have played EVE they know how this will work. First of all the difference in items isn't THAT big so you don't need to have the best items in the game. Secondly players will wear what they can afford to lose, not what they can afford to get. Items will decay with time anyway so even if you don't die you will need to get new items. Crafting will be a very big part of the game.

I guess it depends on what kind of a gamer you are. I agree that games like WoW cater to a much larger crowd than Darkfall. Darkfall will always be a niche game and no matter how good it is it will never be as big as WoW. However if you are a gamer like me then the grind and repetitiveness and meaningless moving from one tier of items to the next and from one level-area to the next in WoW got boring really fast. I got a 60 mage in the WoW vanilla beta and when the game was released I was bored with it already.

By comparison to its contemporaries, Darkfall has had quite a checkered development history, having been widely lauded by gamers for its wide-ranging gameplay and hardcore approach to PVP, as well as having been accused by some[who?] as vapourware[citation needed], due primarily to its long development time, constant retractions of beta announcements, and unconventional approach to the game's public relations and advertising.


Theyve been developing DF for over 7 years... Probably one reason the graphics are a bit outdated. If this game is not released before summer 2009 ill consider it vapourware.

It isn't vaporware, the author of "the noob comic" is in the beta:
http://beta.thenoobcomic.com/df_preview/intro.html

There is a lot of other similar things lately so if you consider this to be vapor then you could consider sc2 to be vapor also.

Also for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, here's part 1 of the gameplay trailer (for the other parts just check their channel).


This was released before the closed beta, so obviously all of these battles are staged and combat will probably be more chaotic/exciting, but the battles still look pretty sweet.

Edit: actually part 1's kind of boring compared to the rest.

This game is going to be so awesome. The EU release date is set at January 22 and NA release "soon" after that. It has been stated that NA people will be able to buy the EU and then play on the NA servers when they come out. Moderators have said you will be able to try the game before you buy it. Not sure if they mean an open beta or a trial period. It also will be available for download.

If you guys don't make a teamliquid guild, I would suggest looking for one soon on the darkfall forums that fit your playstyle. Big city building, huge navy, small mercenary clan, pk guild, or w/e. There are a lot of guilds recruiting people. I want a guild that can defend its city 24/7, thats why I picked InsomniaX, an international guild.

You know... if low level chars are just as good as high level chars. I can see some potential here with a TL.net 'swarm guild'. This is of course only if they'll give some free trial.
