from the small amount i have explored its absolutly gorgeous but i can walk forever and hardly find any mobs to kill... you can walk into these amazing looking fortresses and just find a bunch of empty courtyards with closed of buildings ... hopefully its not all like this just a early observation ... is anyone else noticing this?

It reminds me of DnL all over again, but that was a scam. I don't think this is a scam per say, but uhg.
Played: Shadowbane, UO, PlanetSide, SWG, EQ 2, City of Heros, AO, AoC, Daoc, WOW, lotro, Eve, GW, Tabula, Pirates of the burning sea (yup), Vanguard, Warhammer, Lineage 2
Out of all those I loved Shadow Bane, SWG (it had its issues but those first few months were great) and AO after about 5 months I was in love) RIP..not since then have I loved a MMO...
i found those empty fortresses as well, i was told those are claimable by guilds.But i have not ventured to far into the wilds but what i have seen so far is very nicely done. I did also notice the game is fairly empty of mobs and to me was low on npcs in the starter city. But that being said all the npcs that i did find were working.
played M59,UO,lineage,EQ,Daoc,Entropia,SWG,Horizons,Lineage2.EQ2,Vangaurd,Irth online, DarkFall,Star Trek
and many others that did not make the cut or i just plain forgetting about.
Im affraid you will find out the world is very empty whole AGON you can run for hours seeing maybe 10mobs:P
But if all is well you guys have now more players i dunno how many are ingame now but max players in beta avarage was 3k.
Games played:AC1-Darktide'99-2000-AC2-Darktide/dawnsong2003-2005,Lineage2-2005-2006 and now Darkfall-2009.....
In between WoW few months AoC few months and some f2p also all very short few weeks.
You have to look off of beaten paths. Once I left the Mirdain starting areas to head nroth to the Mahirim to try to get out of being red and go back blue, I found 5 different kinds of mobs in fortresses, abandoned ruins, and other places. Yes, you can run for a while without seeing anything, but I believe that's intended. You wouldn't see groups of mobs ever couple hundred yards in a real fantasy setting. They'd be hiding in places they can defend or places that seem "fit" for them.

So AV lied to us about the "mob content" that was disabled during beta? They said when the game launches they will enable all the mobs they purposely left out..
Is this true or false?

Dont worry, they'll turn on the rest of the mobs at release.
The rules of Debate are really simple; once you have to stoop to insults instead of facts, logic, or reason to try and win your argument, you've lost.
They added trees by the goblin spawns
are you being serious?? ... if so why arent they all on right now ??
yeah, i left the starter atrea and wandered around in open areas and some castle for an hour or 2 and only saw 1 mob and some macroing toon. I mean its great landscapes and all but cmon, one mob ?

Maybe a sarcastic dig that this isn't really a release?
WOW look at all the trolls and haterz in this thread. Don't you noobs know that the darkfall AI is highly advanced? Any NPC unit on the world takes a slot that could be used by the player, so thats why there aren't many mobs.
THIS GAME IS ABOUT HARDCORE PVP U CAREBEAR GO BACK TO WOW!
Exactly the type of person who ruins these forums daily. And this game isn't hardcore PvP. Go play an FPS game and you will find out what hardcore PvP should feel like. I understand trash talking, but being ignorant is a totally different thing. You are right though, one npc or mob does take up a slot in DF. Therefore you will never see a wide variety of mobs, atleast not for awhile. But the thing thats making you guys feel like its an empty world is the lack of wilderness and wildlife. No butterflys, deer, and etc. things that other MMO's add to a game to make the world feel less static. I'm sure eventually they will be added, just give it time. And please oh please quit talking down to people on these boards. You are no better than them. Everyone has a right to opinon wether its right or wrong, its their opinon. Basically stating, get over yourself.

Didn't you read the darkfall forums?............ O wait they've been down for 24+ hours
You paid money to help them stress test their beta client, and to continue to help them improve the game via testing bugs and reporting them. The official scheduled release is Aug 09

according to the article posted here in MMOPRG.com Darkfall was OFFICIALLY released. people are not playing the beta anymore.
The game officially released out in Europe. It is still months away from being released in the us. however they are alowing us players into their eu server.
if you notice up top the status of darkfall is final. The aug 9 release is for the us server.
Watching Fanbois drop their soap in a prison full of desperate men.
I like that the world is not covered in mobs, I hate how in most mmo's getting from A to B is a constant crawl though crowds of lame AI. aslong as there are some mobs every now and again, its sounds more realistic this way and sounds more like oblivion.
My blog:
lolol so running around in circles is highly advanced?
Did you not read the many beta reviews that said the world was practically empty??......DId you not watch the many vdieos that had PVP but not a single NPC or monster anywhere to be found??.......Now go gank noobs like the rest of them and quit complaining!!
This is an MMORPG and not a hunting simulator. If I wanted to " hunt " for something to shoot for 10 mins I would go play Deer Hunter 4.
If there was actually some danger in the world ( i.e. more mobs ), you wouldn't see all the videos of players turning and running when they get close to no health. This is carebear PvP at its finest.

Too bad just about everything you wrote is wrong, including allowing us people into the eu servers. Please bring your A game when coming to these forums for fear of looking like a retard.
Well... They need to have an option where a player can join the game as a MOB. No sophisticated UI for this experience. Just the few basic skills the MOB has. Nothing more. Win a battle and you can loot. No banking though. No skilling up either. Just playing as a stock MOB. Make the MOB's range short too. Like in a bubble. At least we could see the world and interact within DF for a bit.
Also, It would be funny to live in the shell of a static quest-giver NPC for a bit. You could chat with people returning from the hunt!
BETTER YET... Control a tower for 30 minutes at a time.
They could make a pot-luck que and you take whatever form you get.
That would populate the world a bit, stress test, and calm those who didn't get in... all without dealing with the "ordering" issues.
