<a href="http://www.darkfallonline.com/"><em>Darkfall</em></a> has pegged itself from the beginning as a niche title, focusing on a brand of open <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/PvP/">PvP</a> that doesn't necessarily appeal to everyone. And it's certainly handled that title with aplomb, earning <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/01/01/massively-readers-and-staff-choice-awards-results-for-2009/">our staff pick for best PvP in a 2009 MMO</a>. But one of the most important aspects of its existence as a niche game is a strong sense of community among the players, a goal that Aventurine has been meeting more than adequately. <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Tasos-Flambouras/">Tasos Flambouras</a>, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Claus-Grovdal/">Claus Grovdal</a> and <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Kjetil-Helland/">Kjetil Helland</a> recently took part in a <a href="http://www.mmorpg.com/blogs/Paragus1/012010/5564_Darkfall-Community-QA-with-Aventurine">question-and-answer session</a>, with the results just posted for all of the game's players to see and enjoy.<br />
<br />
Summarizing the breadth of the questions and details released is difficult at best. The game's third large content update, preliminarily named "<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/Darkfall/"><em>Darkfall</em></a> 2010," is discussed in depth, and it promises a variety of changes and improvements. Aside from graphical improvements such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX">DirectX</a> 11 support, it promises to add a variety of new crafting items and an armor dye system. The developers are also keeping a close watch on PvP hotspots and balance, as well as promising to expand the game's specializations and diversify player skills. Read through <a href="http://www.mmorpg.com/blogs/Paragus1/012010/5564_Darkfall-Community-QA-with-Aventurine">the full Q&amp;A</a> for a great deal of information about what's promised and coming soon.<br />
