Darkfall prepping offline skill advancement

I hear the UI is getting changed in the DF2010 Xpac.

The UI and Regents for magic are what keep me away from the game, that and the drop from 100~ FPS to 8 FPS every 30 seconds that started after a patch in Feb.


Fix those and it's my dream MMO.

The UI and the Chat are having a total overhaul in the DF2010 expansion. We don't really know what that means yet.

It might be that things are going to be totally different or maybe its all under the hood upgrades, we need to wait and see. The one thing we do know is thay are putting a lot of man hours into doing something with it.

lol @ the UI is the best ever seen in a mmorpg,thanks for the laugh I needed a good one today.=)

I downloaded the trial on a few occasions. TBH, I could never get the game to work. It might be the old radeon video card I have, But I can run AOC without a problem.

Try the 14 day trial. It's not the greatest game in the world, but what it does it does well. It's by far worth the download, I enjoyed my few months in Agon. I just couldn't see investing the amount of time required to get over the newbee hump.

I'd say it's definitely worth a shot. It was buggy as hell at release, but they fixed many of the biggest problems and it's really quite a good game if fps full-loot, full-pvp is your thing.

I always liked (and still do) the idea of Darkfall, and actually managed to get the game in the first week or so of its release. But after 6 months of nutcupping alliances and never-ending city sieges I realized I was more of a carebear than I thought going in. Between that and many of my IG friends leaving the game for greener pastures, I stopped playing around the time the North American servers opened.

I re-subbed this past spring to have a look around at the changes they'd made and really enjoyed myself. However, none of my old friends were still playing and the NPC cities were pretty devoid of life except for the occasional farmer afk-herbing/mining/chopping in the relative safety of the towers.

It's definitely worth downloading the free trial to have a look around, but (at least in my experience) Darkfall seems to be missing the second "M" in "MMO" these days. If it could have released in its current form a year and a half ago I think things would be much different. As it exists now though, it is an incredibly large world built to support probably 10 times the number of active players.

The end result is empty cities and wide-open landscapes that are great for explorers and the occasional small-scale roleplay, but the game world feels pretty empty overall.
