My Experience Re-Subbing to Darkfall

First of all, I played the game at launch for about 4 months and then quit waiting for transfers. I re-subbed (EU1) 5 days ago and have come to this conclusion:

Darkfall is improving at an exceptional rate and just keeps getting better and better!

All of the annoying bugs "I" personally experienced have been fixed or addressed. I used to get black screens when initially loading into the game world. Memory errors, disconnects, Banks bugs, glitches etc have all been fixed. I was even able to complete a quest line that was always broken.

Skill grind has improved and after being away, the world building updates are really noticeable. I saw new cities, villages, new trees and shrubs, new scenery and the world just keeps getting more and more immersible.

Other than the rest animation bug, I haven't come across any noticeable bugs since re-subbing and am having an absolute blast!

The title quests are great, villages are awesome but I haven't had any luck finding a house deed.

... and to top it off, over the weekend I found at least 6 chaos chests filled with gold and a nexus entrance.

If they keep this communication thing going, Darkfall seems likely go down as one of the greatest MMO's of all time. Great job AV!

The game has improved in some areas, but is still lacking in some of the biggest areas.  If you don't have magic, the bottom line is you're at a big disadvantage.  The game has turned into a AOE spam of magic nukes, and offers very little for those who want to use melee, archery, and mounted combat as a means of fighting.  The hacking and exploiting aka radar has been talked about enough so I won't go there, but it's still alive in Darkfall today. I resubbed for one month and  I was happy to see skill advancement increased, and hopefully stats will get a small boost as well.   If  cap of some kind is needed, than so be it, or atleast more options for players than just using magic.  I played the game for four months since launch and I would really like to come back to the game, if the expansion can offer more than what the game currently has to offer. I will not resub until expansion time, or until expansion notes are released.   October is almost here, I hope AV can deliver.

Having played both on EU and NA, i can say that the game has improved by 1000% for quite a bit of existing content or mechanics. They fixed the skill gain issue, they fixed the majority of problems with mob AI, they have made the game more user friendly etc etc.

However, frankly after having played for 4 months on EU and almost 3 months on NA i have decided its just not interesting enough to continue with DF. For whatever reason i just find the game lacking, and its mostly due to the game itself. Regardless of all the improvements, the game still is mind numbingly repetitive and consists of mostly 80% boredom ,with only 20% entertainment.  This game just lacks enough to make it enjoyable long term, I honestly do not think its a matter of people quitting because its a pvp game, frankly from what i can see most players are leaving before they really ever get into the pvp aspect of the game. Sadly, i do not see how it can be fixed.
