Darkfall players, better stock up on Twinkies and Red Bull, because you might well be under siege by tomorrow! Massively recommends a hearty defense of pillow fortifications and cootie barriers to keep the enemy at bay.
In preparation for the much-anticipated siege update, Aventurine is deploying a small patch today to counter any sneaky players looking to initiate sieges before the team is ready. On Thursday, September 14th, Darkfall will go offline for an extended period of maintenance, after which the game will be brought back up with the new siege system in place.
Patch notes will be available tomorrow as well. The new siege system is designed to replace the issues with the old one while allowing the team to respond and tweak it as needed.

@Jasdemi Then why are you saying it sounds good?

@epilepticemu Because things that look good on paper don't always turn out that way when they're actually implemented?

Much ado about nothing... again. It is the normal way Aventurine operates.
What, so the 20 people still playing can now siege each other? Sounds fantastic.
There are enormous, foundational design level reasons why almost everyone quit playing, the siege rules just being a small part of that. AV has really been trying to make DF 2.0 look like a huge thing, but nothing I've heard from them makes it look like an enormous or radical shift in game design.
Darkfall is more of a clan warfare themepark than it is a sandbox.
AV hasn't a clue when it comes to actual sandbox design.

I've played both. MO always "seems" better till you actually play it for a while. As amazing as it sounds, DFO is much more polished.
