I looked at the FAQ and the screenshots..
The graphics look like EQ2 upgrade, pretty cool.
Reading into the FAQ it mentions about having food on you, then looting your body. HAHAHAHA Its EQ in PVP form.
I can see it now, you get ganked then they camp you knowing sooner or later you have to loot your body and BAM! Your ganked again.
The game had me interested till the EQ blurbs poped in.
No thx......

Hmm... you are right, never thought of that. I wonder if they do have some sort of a technique that prevents you from getting corpse-camped.
I played EQ for 4 years, AO 1 year, EQ2 2 years, AC for 1 year, Eve 2 years, WoW for 3 years and WAR for 4mo.
The having to have food on your person and probably drink will take up slots in your bags, and looting your body is SO old school programing its amazing they think it will be loved.
I think its mainly the looting your body that pushed me away and it will push many others away as well.
Over all the game looks good, but so did WAR and it is going under real fast.
Nice contradiction.

There are no inventory slots, its just a bag...
Full loot, is like UO for PVP, not so much like the point and click EQ Crap IMHO, no auto loot, and you have to dig through the crap in the bag, ala UO, to get the stuff. And I never played EQ2 as I could not stand EQ, if that is what you are refering to.
There has been many discusions about this here and on the darkfall forums, and peeps really are looking forword to it.
but i do love the line of how 'So old school programing' serch around, it is on of the things peeps are looking forword to, and it is old school, back to UO, and then some.

LMAO @Vultar, nice.......
well i played eq1 for 4-5 years, and i enjoyed it alot... so being like eq is a complement i'd say..rather that then anyhting like wow....if you wanna roleplay and have carebear communities.. then hmmmm, go rp in a preschool...---have sword will travel---you must roleplay outside the box.....
Huh? First off when they 'gank' you they can loot everything on your body so how smart do you think it would be to return to your body if you didn't think you could beat them and were going for revenge? Second, you respawn where you are bound and do not have to go back to your body for any reason. By the time you got back you will have been looted.
I am confused about if this is a joke and i'm just missing it... It has been a long day.
Just another EQ cry baby whining about full loot, nothing to see here people. But yeah, I hated the EQ pvp servers as well, which is why you're a retard if you tried to play on one, and even more of a retard if you complained about it. Yeah, in a gear based game, pvp is pretty fucking retarded.
Good atleast in EverQuest I could wander in whatever direction i wanted to and see what there was to see.
"What is it that the gamers want from these games and why is it not given to them? We were playing these games ourselves, that's why we know it was not being done. So we moved in the opposite direction. We thought about what the users wanted, what we wanted, and why it wasn't happening and how it could happen." - Tasos Flambouras
well for this game its just not a good idea to have gear on you that you cant aford to loss, as for not likeing EQ PVP neather did i but only because i hated running into an ^^^ hole that was 5+ levels higher than i was and just wanted to gank me take my gear and run away, and in EQ Gear was half your caricter and cost ALOT
UO had a friendly community. Thats all Ill say.
Nice contradiction.

Wow Vutar your TERRABLE at slams.
Here is a link to help you http://www.ehow.com/how_2270765_insult-people-back-after-insult.html
But I feel that you still would not be very good at it so here is a few books for you to try out.

I know if you try Vutar you can DO IT!
EQ was the best game at its time, alot of games have used EQ as there base of creation...I welcome Darkfall if its similiar to EQ...its what games should still be, like EQ...enough said
first, its full loot. There wont be anything on your corpse to go back too.
second, there is a invulneribility timer so you can safely run away if someone is camping your Rez pad...

So they can follow you and kill you a few yards away from the rez pad :P
There are 3 types of people in the world.
1.) Those who make things happen
2.) Those who watch things happen
3.) And those who wonder "What the %#*& just happened?!"
WTF? How dare you posters call looting items from a player corpse a bad thing. You guys are all missing the point where in Darkfall, the whole game doesn't revolve around equipment, if anything, that is the least thing it concentrates on. Go read.
EDIT: Pay no attention to my post. I don't want a bunch of WoW kids in my Darkfall anyway.
Serious death penalties makes every close call an adrenaline rush, and every minor achievement a major victory. This alternative rule-set should be in all MMORPGs.
EQ PVP servers were a lot of fun. I played on the team race PVP server and it was a blast. Items didn't drop but coin did. I remember killing a dark elf necro with my halfling druid as he was traveling invis thru East Karana. He was carrying a lot of coin and was encumbered, must have been trying to transfer all that coin to an alt ogre or troll. Back in the day bank space was not shared between characters on the same account. Freeport was in constant chaos and flipped control constantly.
I don't understand the comment suggesting you can't travel in Darkfall and see the sights. Of course you can, just be aware of your surroundings and wary of strangers. Darkfall isn't going to be a sissy safe environment, that's what's great about it. There are plenty of theme park games to play if you don't want a challenge.
I wish people would stop saying that gear in Darkfall won't matter or be high quality or rare. Of course gear matters. It won't matter as much as a class based game but there will be high quality items and rare items, mostly high end crafted, but it will hurt if you get looted. Deal with it.
If you bothered to read the Darkfall forums you would know there is a five minute invulnerability timer when you die so you have five minutes to safely loot your corpse and/or get out of the area. If someone is camping your corpse then they have all your items already.

OK, peeps need to read the FAQ and Forums over at Darkfall,
It is full loot, you bag has no slots, its just a bag, based on weight...
your 'bind' point or 'rez' spot is quite up to you, so good luck trying to find it.
There are no LEVELS in Darkfall, it is like UO and EVE, skill based only... so no need to worry about the avitar +5 lvls ganking you, skilz yo!
FPS game style, so some more skillz there, no target with what ever and just punch buttons and auto attack crap here...
So all you EQ PVP peeps need to read and stop wining about it, this is not your EQ, it is Darkfall.
go play Oblivian, and get some combat practice... look at UO and EVE, you will see that the Skill makes the game play alot deeper than just lvls.
Darkfall has no Zones or Instances either, so you can just go see the world... (watch your back)
Full loot is supose to apply to mobs too, what you see them with is what you get, no EQ thing there either.

Amazing how you don't sound like a retard at all.
Seems like most people in this thread never played an EQ PvP server. SZ was pretty hardcore, and RZ 1 item drop. And just the insane XP loss made you fear death. And 99% of the Darkfall fanboys wouldn't have lasted long on the perma-death full loot server Discord:)
Nice contradiction.

I dunno about Darkfall, but this game looks like the shit... Im making an account now
LOL, forgot about Permadeath, that was awsome, painfull, but awsome! Gave a whole new meaning to risk and reward...
we should feel that in in DF, just not as razors edge... That was hard core!

Sorry but you are looking thru rose colored glasses. Discord was NOT perma-death. After level 6 you could be Pk'd but you went back to level 1 on death.
Not the same as permadeath where you loose your character and all items and have to roll another toon. Close though.
Would love to see how many of you "hard core" PvPers would like a true perma-death server and one with enforceable laws and bounties. You would be the first to whine like a care bear.
Full loot is supose to apply to mobs too, what you see them with is what you get, no EQ thing there either.
EQ mobs held what the dropped ... not all the time but they did
ahh the days of solo camping the lower guk for items....
Amazing how you don't sound like a retard at all.
lol... i think he is not hardcore enough for a pvp game with item drop and gear based xD
btw i dont think DF and EQ can be compared, EQ was fun in pve or pvp while DF wont be a fun pve game, the desing of EQ dungeons are the best of MMO history so i doubt DF will ever try to come close to that.
