Darkfall Unholy Wars will be free to play from May 1st to May 5th.

I personally enjoy the game a lot as I find it to be the best Sandbox style of game currently on the market.  It won't cost you anything except for your time.

Feel free to /whisper Wiliam Bonney if you have any questions, or if during this trial you want to join my clan Regulators while you are figuring things out.  You can read my recruiting post on my personal website at http://www.billyba.com

 

Why should you play Darkfall?

Free is always the right price.  And though it has a limited window, it's not much different than the old style of open beta tests.

 

What does Darkfall Unholy Wars have to offer?

It's a really good open world sandbox game, with full looting of killed players, thousands of mobs available to PvE farm, harvesting of resources, and the crafting of resources into better materials and equipment.

 

Why should I give Regulators a chance?

I know a lot about the game.  As you can see at http://www.billyba.com/SteamScreen.html I play quite a bit.  I'll toss you some gear, take you out for a ride, and likely get us killed by bigger and stronger players.  It's a video game after all, and though you won't have much time to be #thebest, you do have enough time to experience quite a lot of the game.

 

Aren't you that guy who posted all of those "My Xsyon Reviews," hyped up the game, and then we all saw it flop?

Yup, that's me.  In my defense however, I was writing reviews based on my game experiences.  The conceptual features list for that game was intense.  Sadly, like many games released, the concepts were a lot better than the implimentations, and thus I and many others who bought the game because of me, stopped playing.

Best sandbox and real mmorpg out currently.  With so many games going pay to win (like guild wars 2 and Archeage) Darkfall is the diamond it the rough.

No thanks. A pseudo-sandbox which is in reality a gankfest with no woking justice system where the cyberbullies rule the world doesn't interest me.

I'll be playing Archeage instead. At least there are consequences for acting like a psycho in that game.

 

I don't usually agree with you, but I do agree with the broad thrust of what you are writing here. However, to the developers' credit they have just introduced a mentoring system that might encourage gankers to turn into mentors.

 

However, your point still holds because despite the mentoring system, there isn't anything else to do in this game except gank somebody. For example, if you want to be a lone explorer - forget it - the system and geography is loaded against you - you really are the 'fresh meat' to be ganked and harvested without mercy.

That's not true.  I took this screenshot this morning.  80% of this clearing of the fog of war has been naked running around the map for a few hours for a couple of days.

Does Darkfall have a PvE server?

Agreed - they had their chance for 5 years with no real competition  With H1Z1 coming out soon that has pretty much the same features as DF BUT with a shit ton fo sandbox that the DF design will never allow.  Add on the full loot and I just do not see DF surviving a AAA full loot, REAL sandbox game....
