For people who haven't heard.
Darkfall launched a few years ago.
Its a full loot, open world, clan warfare game with sandbox elements.
The combat system is very interesting. Its like an FPS. You have to manually aim your spells and your sword attacks. There is no targeting in the game.
No levels in the game, no quests. You start the game and do whatever you like.
It was set as the spiritual successor to UO, but sadly fell short. The game was broken at launch, the grind was huge.
Despite that, it was the best game i've ever played in terms of enjoying it.
The full loot element, means that winning or losing a fight in PVP means something. The clan politics are amazing. You can build up a city, another clan can take it from you. Drama ensures. Rivalries, Alliances, back stabbing etc.
The new game, Darkfall: Unholy Wars launches in 3 days. Its the relaunch of the game, but with better features, fixed problems and a lot less grind.
It should be epic.
If anyone has ever REALLY wanted to get into Eve because of the clan politics. Darkfall is a lot easier to get into so you can have these clan vs clan battles that really mean something, but its also a lot less deep.
