If you didn't have the pleasure of going through the fiasco that was pre-ordering, or the wonderful launch with servers down 75% of the time, be thankful.

Although it had a rough start, Darkfall is a pretty fuckin' sweet game. Within the first 30 minutes of my play time I got flagged as a criminal and pk'd. Good shit. After a few hours and a lot of swearing, I got used to the UI and started to wreck shit. I also found out all the big PK guilds are playing. First I noticed was LoD, though I believe I saw Blood/KoC as well as the Mercs & IMAGE. I had the pleasure of killing some werewolf looking mother fuckers in IMAGE, before getting plowed by the rest of their guys of course.

The graphics are decent. Models not so much, but environment graphics are pretty sweet. Watching shadows move along a cliff against the sunset in the distance... then those shadows coming to kill you shortly after, is a pretty awesome thing.

Things I have learned over the course of the last day or two I've been playing:

- This is not a solo game. It is for guild versus guild pvp nearly exclusively.
- Find remote farming spots, you never know when you're going to get jumped by a random.
- Be a dick. It's the only way to get what you want.

I'm looking forward to playing this game as it has huge potential... I just hope that in the next few months they go in the right direction. Learn from others' mistakes!

If you have any questions, feel free! I'm sure myself or anyone else playing can answer them.
