Darkfall is an up-and-coming MMO that we haven't given much time to on Massively, but reading over this recently-released 'Dev Journal' on the WarCry Network, it sounds like there's a lot there to sustain interest.
Just from this latest Journal entry by Tasos Flambouras, I'm picking out intriguing details:
- No radar: meaning that it's possible to engage in guerilla tactics and not have retaliation easily track you out of line of sight
- Alignment matters: it sounds like the only thing a player should concern himself over is his alignment, even more than guild alliance. Your moral posture will determine the method of play
- Multirace guilds, or clans: this sounds similar to Horde vs. Alliance interplay, but with a little more complexity
- Real-time combat: body strike location, weapon range, friendly fire, multiple opponent strikes with a single swing ... sounds like the Age of Conan take on combat, but with just ... more
