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.

On the other hand I find the game to be completely unacceptable and dog shit through and through.
I beta'd only for four days outta 12 I could and this is what I think.
It's ridiculous that you are supporting a pay for beta client.
The animation and models is god awful, I honestly believe that they had their main artist do the animations as well as the models as this was a cheaper a route for them.
The mobs stood around on server opening and allowed gold farming to ensue..
Player location is handled client side and there are already reports of players with a shitty visual basic GUI able to put in hexadecimal coords and zoom around the map.
There are a few guilds already with boats and cities.
This game is 10% UO and 90% Shadowfail..er bane.
Soloing is as cr0ss stated a purely moot point and should not be considered.
Good luck being a pk without a guild of pks.
It is not a pretty game by no means and is barely a step above Daikatana.
Not anticipating huge demand for the game at least based on the number of registered forum users is fucking retarded, how many mmo's do you have to watch go through this shit in order to get it somewhat right?
No thieving yay.
Women are not going to be playing this game.
The main page received its first update by removing the beta signup tab in months.
This game is AoC launch times 3 in regards of fail.
Pass nothing to see here folks... guess I will wait for mortal online.
