The March 31st patch was a big step for Darkfall, with everything from skill gain rates to the meditation system to the alignment and crafting systems on the receiving end of some developer love. Aventurine is just warming up, though, and the latest activity report illustrates what's next for sandbox PvP fans all over the world.
Work continues on racial area revamps; the Mirdain and Alfar sections of Agon are nearly complete. Aventurine's Tasos Flambouras also hints at some exciting PvE updates, including trap doors and various gameplay physics tweaks designed to delight Agonian dungeoneers. There's also a good bit of info on NPC and monster AI revamps and re-population, new player character and armor models, and a mention of new sound, lighting, and GUI systems, all of which are building toward the game-changing revamp that Aventurine has mentioned previously. Check out all the details on the Darkfall epic blog.

I thought this game was the home of the billions of true hard core pvp players?
Does this game suck that bad ?

I keep reading posts by PvPers on other game's forums saying that game "x" should have PvP like Darkfall.
But other than those guy,s I never hear anything else about it.

I keep reading posts of bloggers and commenters that theme'park MMOs should be more sandbox.
However, Darkfall is barely played by anyone.

I often wonder how many more players they'd have if they opened the game up to PvE'ers by having separate consensual/hardcore PvP servers.

What i'd like to know is why my recent Darkfall install came with files for w3af (web app testing frame work), ovaldi (open source OVAL interpreter) and a file with some logs detailing some of their internal server names. I work in the security field so seeing these names popup when it was installing was VERY interesting.
