 Player Skill vs Player Stats clarifiedTons of posts all contain the bickering back and forth between skill and stats which is better. Darkfall uses a decimal system for their weapons and armor, for example a rank 0 sword has .36 damage and a chain breastplate has 1.22 slashing protection(not exact figures).  Now a rank 40 sword has say .56 damage, upon first look this seems irrelevant and leads the population to say look at this the gear doesnt make much difference the

Currently playing Darkfall Online, and having a blast. Don't listen to the nay-sayers this game is great if you enjoy sandbox MMO's (and, can handle full loot pvp)Joined up with the guild DIE, and our city's coming along nicely. I'll update more later.

 For my fist entry I will write about a samewhat hated game right now, Darkfall Online.I don't play the game for long (read 1 week :D), but I do find the game different from any other games around (maybe except EVE, but I could not even begin to compare EVE and DFO right now).First, I had to realyze that I am in a Full Loot game, meaning when you die, the other players can take eveything you own (except starter weapons). That can be seen as a good think (if you kill someone) and as a bad th

I will start this day with a goodbye...  Well that is to Electronic Arts and Warhammer Online..  See ya!Let me preface my adventures in Darkfall with an apology to everyone for anything i may have been negative about on forums about DarkFall.  I take it all back.  To put it mildly, the game is awesome, every major problem has been solved when i got up this morning.  I can see/fights mobs, players are rendering fast (no more purple people) and Im having a hell of a t

   I got 30 days (well ok 33 actually)  to run this gme thru the mill.  I am going to post exactly what I see and whatever I feel at the time.   Take this blog for the next few weeks with a grain of salt.The beginning:FINALLY!  I get home from work, and can actually get past the 'Account is not active' prompt! YAY! been waiting for this for a long time.  I Login.  I wait, the loading screens are lengthy, but visually stunning.  Hope this leads to

As of late I've been keeping up on Darkfall Online news, from what I've seen, heard, read, it has many of the qualifications I've wanted in an MMORPG. With a combat system similar to Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, a politics and crime and punishment system run by the players, and many different choices in character customization and building and the prevention of gimping your character and being forced to reroll in place, it's all I'll need for years to come. I still, however, have one issue w

Well the title pretty much says it all. Darkfall is scheduled for January 22nd 2009 release across Europe. North American release dates have not yet been announced ^^.Feel free to read the the full news post below originally from the official Darkfall forums.Link: forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php- Olli  January 22nd 2009 Launch Date Announced for Darkfall Online.

First off the NDA hasn't been lifted for everyone hehe, I apologize if the title is misleading xD.Earlier today (5:16am 12-1-08 to be exact) Tasos posted an interesting update. Adventuring has lifted the NDA for Gianna Masetti, creator of a webcomic The Noob (link below).Gianna will be writing a feature of Darkfall, posting new screenshots and stories of her experience in the closed beta realm. She has a light hearted perspective which makes her work fun to read.Definitely worth checking out!Lin

Darkfall Online Really Exists-Much Maligned Game Sees Hands-On ReviewThe team at Aventurine has been hard at work bringing innovation to the MMORPG world. With the tremendous amount of attention that the developers have received in recent years, it seems that the release of the Darkfall Online MMO was based on smoke and mirrors. With no physical proof that a game actually existed with this name, there was much doubt and derision cast upon the developer.But all that has changed with the release o

Darkfall - First Impressions Yes yes, Darkfall! A game that usually casts a balanced shadow of hope and skepticism is steadily releasing more and more information to the public. Today Tasos (Darkfall Developer) made a public post on the Official Darkfall forums containing information and reactions from the first wave of beta testers. The post was generally made of beta tester comments. The information was broken into seven sections:Overall ImpressionsThe World - Graphics - TechnologyAIControls -
