LOL, this is the best.. i ask for real proof and i get the same DF fanboy reply, Name calling!! lol here this is better to watch about DF
Hey man let me ask you something. Have you even played DarkFall?
It doesn't seem like it.
That only goes to show that half the negative stuff about the game is from weird people like him. They really need to add a "subscriber" tag to people on ForumFall to expose the crazies.
I, on the other hand have played the hell out of the game and continue to do so. It's an excellent game.
LOL in red shows that you don't hold any weight either . People don't listen to the Hype again we now have proof out there and plenty of utube videos showing df.. .. moving on now please bash me all you want it is the DF way , look at the way Tasos went off on his first review.. lol

Hey man let me ask you something. Have you even played DarkFall?
Woo trick question, if i say yes then most are going to add me to the list of retards that were dumb enough to pay money for it.. but no i have not but then again i did not buy Dark & Light either
Hold on a second here... You haven't played the game..... But your main complaints about it are that it's got Bad Graphics (Which you could only have seen in Screenshots or Low Res Videos) And that there are Hackers everywhere.... Which you couldn't really know unless you know.... you've played the game and encountered them. And All of the people who are in the thread who do play the game are telling you it ain't so...... yeah.
On a side note, Played Darkfall... Didn't like it much. Too punishing and too damn slow to be any fun for me.

Actually, I think THIS* would be Tasos "first" review. At least this would explain his outrage over the EurogamerMMO one.
If you don't care to translate, you can scroll to the bottom and see the tally.
DF has still potential to be the best out there. I believe to people who say they have best gaming experience ever.
I cant play it though until all hackers are wiped. And even then i would like fresh start for everybody. And free trial ofc. And pvp server.
Playing: Rohan Played (from best to worst): Shadowbane, Guild Wars, Shayia, Age of Conan, Warhammer, Runes of Magic, Rappelz, Archlord, Knight online, King of Kings, Kal online, Last chaos

You must be kidding, you must try if to know if it is like it is,???
well that would explain people like you out there.. hey dude stay away from her she has aids, week later, whats up dude, got aids. hows??? that girl. but i told you she had it.. had to try it for myself .. please you would stick your head in fire even tho you see the flams and people are say you will burn, but hey must try it to believe what you should know.. good luck getting to the end of a long life..
I am about to write a long article/summary about it but I'm pretty much burnt out from this intense battle.
OMG don't just write about it show some pictures and video.. lets see the truth not.
wow , what a day i just got out of the coolest and bloody battle in mmo history.. there i was hold off a horde of 100k just me and my guild of 300 we were so great and in the end we won ..
we want to see the fight not what you make up and make sound good.
It was the largest battle so far in the game's history. I'm sure people FRAPSed it, and videos will probably be posted soon.
So how many was there? I sure hope it was more than 2000, cause Tasos stated before that they had 2000 man battles. So unless there was more than 2000 men in this battle, someone is not telling the truth. Hmmm. Just asking.
Actually, I think THIS* would be Tasos "first" review. At least this would explain his outrage over the EurogamerMMO one. ...

Forum: Official Topic
As a country, Greece has always been technologically far behind in all areas. The games industry has never been able to get a game to be successful and to discuss world. The best known until now our international titles (in English) was the World Basketball Manager (Sports), the Conspiracies (Adventure), the Chicken Invaders (2D shooter) and Theseis, an Adventure, which had not ever released. And we are now in the history of the Darkfall. Began in 2001 in Oslo Norway an effort to create an MMORPG from the Norwegian company Razorwax. A year later, the Greek company Aventurine acquires in the hands of the project and the developers who until then develop and run the job. It took eight years of development, hiring dozens of developers from Greek and international arena, and tens of thousands of hours worked million batzet to have a MMORPG today worthy of admiration, which now has global reach.
Community
The community is in Darkfall site www.darkfallonline.com. Before the game even released, the site was already the largest communities worldwide, with over 350,000 members and 3,000,000 messages! That is another reason why the game is known in almost all RPG gamers on the planet. Nevertheless, he had heard enough and malicious comments and doubts about the delay, but removed this year in January, when he announced the release of.
The tribes
We are in the world of Agon, which is one of the largest we have ever seen in a MMORPG. The races from which you can choose your character are the following six: Orks, Dwarves, Mahirim, Humans, Mirdain (Elf), Alfar (Dark Elf). After making your selection you can define gender, skin color and features of your appearance. The tribes of the game have friendships or animosities between them, which affects not only users but the NPC with whom contact.
The character selection does not affect your development, since 95% of the skills can be learned by all characters, regardless of race to which they belong. The remaining 5% are special abilities that relate to the race. There is a slight influence on the strength and intelligence. The order in which the tribes have written above, concerns how strong is the strength (the stronger to weaker). For how strong intelligence in the series is exactly the reverse.
After selecting your character, the game will put you in a similar capital of your race and you can select which of the three cities will start. Your goal, beyond the evolution of your character, is the acquisition of word-stones. These ancient relics for which the major clans of the game is expected to kontarochtypithoun. This scenario does not exist and therefore users are those who should build the case for the game.
Handling
The environment of Darkfall Online will be your first concern, but after some time familiarizing will pleasantly surprise you. The moves your fighter with WASD. The camera is controlled with the mouse, left click with the mouse used to attack and right to navigate the menus found in background. This feature is truly unique because you can open any windows in the background you want and with a right click to turn off the control and actuate the control menu. All windows in this environment is fully editable on the location and size, as in the windows of your Windows. There are windows that show you the statistics, the skills you map in your inventory (which is called "paperdoll") and your hotbar, which has 10 tabs with 10 slots each, so total of 100 posts to enter the skills you want to use. To use the skills you must go to the menu of each skill, to drag the hotbar where you want to use, press the corresponding number from your keyboard while you left-click. The paperdoll has a wide range of choices for clothes and accessories that can be worn by your character. Includes helmet, necklace, earrings, armor, pants, two rings, cape, shirt, panties, epikalamides, sword, shield and arrows. Feel like 'You have to look that.
In addition to the WASD, other hotkeys are as follows. With the Shift running with C hang, with F (Use) NPC to talk or interact with any object you have before you, the Space pidate and take the R or collecting your gun. The command has the following negative for the particular camera. To see your character in third person camera should press R to get a gun. When the gun is gathered then the camera will be the first person permanently. To you be your best pictures of the area around you, you have every right to carry a gun in his hand, without affecting the speed of your character. The downside is that when they need to interact with the subject, ie to speak to a NPC, to look at a grave enemy to loot or to open the safe, you should leave the gun with the "R" and then press the Use key (F).
For all the above is a basic tutorial that appears in the game and explains the key points of control. For more details on what you should do in the game there is a special Help menu that you can call at any time and explaining how the game is played and what your purpose. Finally, any useful information such as quests, skills and statistics from other similar arrangements, retained the menu Journal.
Characteristics, Skills and Battle
Unlike almost all the RPG market, which have levels, the Darkfall has no levels of the system but is based on the nature of the skills. As an exercise to improve both the skill and therefore affects the attributes you. Something similar we have seen in other RPG like Oblivion, but there are levels which divide up extra points in skills, which does not apply here. The skills are divided into five categories: Combat Skills, Crafting Skills, General Skills, Magic Skills and Weapon Skills. Some of these exercise unconsciously, such as the Combat skills when the enemy attack with a specific weapon, while the exercise synideita, putting them in hotbar from which you can dial into the battle by pressing the appropriate number and then Left-click.
The key attributes of each character is the Strength, the Vitality, the Dexterity, the Quickness, the Intelligence and Wisdom. In the same tab with the characteristics are the armor penalties and protections. The armor penalties are the statistics: Encumbrance, Melee and Magic Archery. For example, the Encumbrance affects you depending on whether you are loaded with loot, so when you put your backpack in the spoils of their enemies, you will then need to deposit in your treasury (bank). The protections Protections are having your character. There are a total of 15 protections, such as Cold, Fire, Lightning, Acid, Arrow, etc.
As your skills develop, so will improve the basic attributes and protections you. The Strength increases the damage you do with your weapons in battles with the body and affects the body and maximum health. The Vitality gives bonus to maximum health and stamina, while reducing the effects of poisons and aimoragias. The Dexterity is interdependent on the damage you do with arrows. The Quickness slow weapons near or distant range and reduces the damage you receive from these attacks. Moreover, increases the maximum strength (stamina). The Intelligence is interdependent with the spells, increase your resistance to attacks of mental spells, and increases the mana. The Wisdom gives bonus to crafting and harvesting skills, while it increases the mana.
The key attributes affecting respectively and the three main statistics of your character, the Health, the Stamina and Mana. The five categories of skills mentioned above will satisfy even the most demanding users. There are dozens of each type of skills that can continuously exercise:
- The Combat skills have to do with the main battle and blocking attacks. By Parry (key V) you can raise your shield to block the attack of the enemy. Then there are the skills Armored Proficiency, Armored Archery and Armored Casting, which carried both receive blows from swords, arrows and magic, respectively.
- The Crafting Skills help you to create food for your character to enhance your weapons or even to build homes for you or your clan! Usually, for the exercise you need to find the right accessory. If you find a fishing pole, you can sit in the water and practice the Fishing. If you find a wood axe, you can perform the Logging, ie cutting trees. With the pickaxe digging rocks. There are other skills such as cooking (to cook in the oven!), Smelting (melting ores), Repair (repair weapons and armor), etc.
- The General Skills are generic skills of your character, such as run swimming and rest. But there are more psagmenes skills like revive (to revive the other characters do), the riding (reduces stamina required when running with a pet) or constitution (poison resistance).
- The Magic Skills are different types of magic, like Fire magic, Air Magic, Water Magic, Necromancy, Spell Chanting, Witchcraft, etc.
- Finally, Weapon Skills practice when using their weapons. Each skill represents a category of weapon. Here it is worth to you to write all realize that there is a wide variety of available weapons. So the skills Axe, Club & Mace, Archery, Greataxe, Greatclub, Greatsword, Knife, Polearm, Sithra, Sword, Gank and Throwing. The Gang developed a lurch when slaughtered and Throwing the fly when the gun battlespike to your enemy.
The movements of the characters in Darkfall, and the battle system is real-time, like in Oblivion. You can hit the enemy, you block the attack with your shield or jump in the ring and all in real time rather than clicking and allowing the character to beat itself (pp unfortunately it happens many MMORPG). The enemies you frequented in specific parts of the map, but at intervals of attack in groups, not only to you that close to the region but also in neighboring towns where colonies users! The level of artificial intelligence monsters are the best we have ever seen. We noticed that even small and insignificant goblins or skeletons, are pragmatic responses to their moves. Surround you, trying to avoid your attack, use spells and pets Kavala attack in waves. Furthermore, what we liked was the importance of stamina. The resistance decreases when you run or you strike movement, but generally takes from the beginning to empty and filled respectively. If empty then you can not knock your enemies and will have to wait to fill up even just to launch the next attack. This is the most realistic and understandable.
The enemies you are located in specific parts of the map which used to PvE (Player vs Environment). The PvP (Player vs Player), can be performed anywhere, provided that a member of a clan and a clan war has kyrixei to another. Otherwise will be characterized by the game as evil and become a target of "good" users. If you accidentally try to hurt another user, then you display the Rogue removed after a few seconds. If you continue to do the same time then the time at the Rogue will be multiplied and will have to wait longer. It would therefore be careful with you because frictions
A vast world
The Agon of the country is perhaps the largest we have ever encountered in any MMORPG market. To cross the map from one end to another you need 8 hours, which has never seen any similar game. The Agon is a huge island in the corners of which is surrounded by four other smaller islands, the Niflheim, Yssam, Rubaiyat and Gairn. There are also several small islands scattered in the map, which also can be occupied by clans. The territory has all kinds of recommendations. There are forests, deserts, frozen landscapes, tropical vegetation, valleys, rivers and even swamp.
To Agon has Dungeons and where there are no instances, but the rooms are available for all users to fight with PvE or PvP, and fight like the earth's surface. In each dungeon that you enter is a single entry and exit at the end of the road. Alternatively, you can return to the parent bindstone your city with the command / bindstone_recall from the chat (+ Tab). In the dungeons of the enemies is not too difficult to link with the outside world and there are usually better than normal loot. The map of the game is full of sites where clans can build cities. The sites are either obvious or hidden in dungeons, mountains, etc. between Each clan may kyrixei another war whenever it wishes, so that members could formally each other, but users have penalties for their behavior. The clans can even build siege weapons like catapults, and ballistic poliorkitikous rams. The game has put a restriction on the destruction of buildings of a city so can destroy a building by the day.
The first big game in the Greek history of MMORPG games are and what we dream!
The main gameplay
The level of difficulty of Darkfall is quite high for the average user. Your initial concern is to find a region for PvE and start the upload your skills. These areas are small and have many enemies, provided that time does not have "plakosei" many users simultaneously and enemies not to catch your first xeprovaloun kills with small enemies will be quite difficult to achieve, leaving you only a 20-30 % of your available energy. We therefore have enough patience until you increase your health. And because every enemy that should kill the first few hours you rest, thus you will rest a bit while when rapid replenishment. The rest can be done even when enemies are around you, but is always likely to hit while sitting down. Remember always to take further items from dead monsters from the grave, with the key "F" and then right-click and drag in your backpack (drag & drop). Mandate for all transportation to Take All there is, so will need some patience. Also, anything you consider valuable, like money or good items, you must first be stored in your box to be safe. Otherwise, if we lose that killed you on your articles.
The quests given by NPC of each city. The NPC is low in each city from which you start and have the consultant role and trader together, because maintaining such a place from which you can buy and sell items. There are different types of swords and axes with which to start, although we recommend not to pay for your first weapon, because both PvP and in PvE, if you will be killed automatically remove the equipment and money before you have . So, if you have skills and the plate before you get a user-rogue and attack you, then crying your investment. When you kill and there is a second chance to revive, which can be done by anyone, provided that you click on the button revive (which stated the hotbar) and left click the mouse. There is also the possibility, in two minutes you are given the opportunity to help to bring an enemy or any one user to completion, stealing your property.
The PvP is allowed between users primarily between clans. If that hurt xekarfoto to another user, then you get to just the extent of Rogue. The other strike, so this degree of maintaining and increasing the time of your stay there. If you stop the strike would then gradually reduce the time until the instrument of evil to be eliminated from your top.
Through the live chat that the game is inside you, other than to chat to other users, and give specific instructions to your character. Pressing the button and then press Tab (instead of enter) you can see a full list of commands. By / party_create create a group with others to get pareoula Safer farming. Invite users to / party_invite_player user name. The / gm_help followed by your message, send message to a Game Master (Moderator of the game which is online) to request direct assistance on any matter. Moreover, there are several more commands, and other useful for other simple chavale like / air_guitar with which the character you play ... guitarist! Try also the following and see the results: / doh, / drink, / greetings, / laugh, / mock, / no_no, / point_back, / point_front, / point_right, / point_left, / show_off, / shrug, / sneeze, / taunt_03, / taunt_04, / taunt_05, / thinking. / thumb_down, / thumb_up, / wave, / yawn.
A key issue is that the Darkfall should above all have patience. The patience you start from the queue in the server (where a peak may wait for hours to sign up to play), continues with the learning of skills and equipment and ends with the search for PvE. Many users can not expect to walk long distances to find an area with enemies and so the spin immediately in PvP ... taking the wrong road. Each user has its own approach and this is what gives this game a special significance. In front of you will find evil characters to a whole cavalry of hostile monsters to "comb" the area for victims. Do not paraxenefteite for nothing, since every corner of this country hides endless secrets, and endless dungeons to explore.
Clans
After succeed and make a decent character with some items, you can try slowly to risk going with attention to the inner part of the Darkfall. If you see that you deal with every day then consider the game to join a clan. The process is simple. Go to a city, you get a word (as if it were a reality) and the clan leader will decide whether to accept your team. But if you want to create a your own team then you can try creating the clan system which is very simple. Authority required for 2000 gold coins and activation by the main menu "Clans". After payment, you will be able to incorporate members of the clan at any time. The friends' list (list of friends) that exists in the menu journal, will help you make your first steps. The clans can understand a city and build their own making a crafting materials like stone and wood.
Cities located anywhere, scattered on the map. If you discover a city and voltarete this while you are not a member of the clan, then you may notified that you attacker. He wants, however, special attention to your steps as difficult PvE encounter in a city, so if you approach and a user who guard the party from any untoward then .... Will not go well!
Graphics
The graphics engine of Darkfall is Rabelaisian textures and problems in anti-aliasing, but even at this level manages to produce the best graphics we have ever seen in a Greek play. The environment has some defects in the design, which mainly covered the night, but we can not overlook the beautiful landscapes that change has such variety in design, which despite the size of the world of Darkfall, it is difficult to bore.
The shadows of the characters and lighting are two components carefully, and blood thrown away the hours of battle. It is just mediocre animations, but at least there in abundance ...! Ie when the energy bar of the characters reaches below the waist, then fill their faces bloodied and arrows that peg their bodies left there for some time. For lighting should be drawn to the beautiful display day and night, where the developers noticed even the slightest details.
The positive with this graphics engine is small loading times that make gameplay more enjoyable. The game loads straight while in the worst case, if you enter into a new area there will be a pause of two seconds and nothing more.
Sound
The Achilles heel of the game is the quality of sound. There are many sound glitches which sounded at random points and with different variations of the volume. These up as a little irritating but not intolerable. The voices of the characters is quite a good job. There are several different variations of voice when a character attacks and highlight the nature of the distance from the camera (to be adjusted accordingly and intensity).
The mere ambient music combined with sounds of sword arcs and try to give a distinct tone, but the general impression we have is that Aventurine did not even bother to search quite a sound. Such cases are the music of arms that almost always make the same sound (one for each gun) and the NPC who are not even open their mouths to speak.
Epilogue
What is Darkfall gentlemen! Cheirokrotiste the most important game in the (little) history of Greece in the games. We expect to see Unreal Engine 3 in front of an instrument passed through eight years of growth. But wait to see a MMORPG that will play in traditional systems market, which did level up, a static system of battle, magic items with the sack and so on. Instead here we had the unexpected. The Darkfall emerged to create something special, while the risk of criticism. However, until now views are basically positive, especially from users who prefer a fully realistic and original MMORPG, and not something ordinary.
The game is still ahead of the future. At present only sold online through www.darkfallonline.com, while at some point should be placed and a second server, for users to escape from the queues and to choose an alternative character.

In general, the tone of the article seems pretty fair, but I was suprised at the ratings. They seemed to praise the graphics, but called sound the "Achilles heel" of the game? if that's the case, why were they rated so closely. Based on their descriptions, 7.5 for graphics seems fair, at least for their personal scale, but how did sound rate almost as hightly when they panned it? As ratings go, what is "Strength"? Are they reviewing this simply as a Greek game, as opposed to simply a game?
Good Troll man. Good Troll. Nice variation on "Get aids and Die in a fire."
However, the arguement you've made is kind of flipping the sides around for the sake of your example. My Argument was that you haven't played, and are quoting hearsay, while the people who've played the game disagree with you. It's like all the people who slept with the girl say she doesn't have aids, but you choose to believe her Jerkass Ex's rumors instead and don't get laid period. Or for example you drop your keys into one of those shitty fake fireplaces but won't reach for them for fear it's a real fire when all of the other people in the room are calling you a dumbass.
In all seriousness man, try to come up with an argument that has a valid point if you want to rile people up.
Actually, I think THIS* would be Tasos "first" review. At least this would explain his outrage over the EurogamerMMO one. ...

~Ripper
Oh, I agree with you Ripper, I was just saying that this is probably why Tasos was all hot and bothered by the Eurogamer review.
Apparently Tasos thought that since the guy down the hall, that he has lunch with everyday, rated the game so high, that the Eurogamer dude was just a flake and couldn't possibly know what the hell Darkfall was all about. Shame on him!!
regardless, Tasos's bitchfest over the Eurogamer's review labeled him as a whiner in the business, and no one with any credentials will ever touch him or Darkfall with a laser beam pointer. Just another checkmark against Aventurine as far as I am concerned.
Anywho... dang, this thing went WAY OT... oops
Edit: pelling
Editx2: After further thought (or lack thereof), I bet even Smedley read Tasos's tantrum and went, "WTF!!".
@ Respit - sorry, I should have clarified. I got your point. I was simply commenting on the article itself. It probably deserves it's own thread. ~Ripper
No problems here. To be honest, I was a little out of line, my post kind of seemed a little hostile towards you. I apologize.
Anyway, I just get tired of all the justification that gets thrown around. Especially the "you haven't played" nonsense. Good Lord, I don't have to go into Compton at 2 a.m. to know I don't have any desire to do that. But in Darkfall's case, I did. Luckily, it didn't cost me anything but time.
As far as this thread getting off-topic, considering the OP started a new thread concerning it, I figure this one is fair game now.
Rhinok, I know that eurogamer had released an article about darkfall previously saying how pure the implementation and how bad it sucks to play becouse in game mechanics are so incomplete blah blah, and a day later tasos has released logs of the reviewer showing that he has played the game for two hours (which you cannot do anything realisticly to speak about game mechanics etc), and how he tried to learn controls on ingame chat etc.
My point is, eurogamer is not a company to trust, either if they are talking in favor of a game or the reverse. Some of their reviewers are jerks for sure

I know you posted to Rhinok, but to be honest, I would take Eurogamer's word over Tasos anyday. Without question. Tasos has more than proven his character. Heck, I am just waiting for more (if any) of the more aflluent gaming sights decide to throw down a review. Should prove interesting.
Are they reviewing this simply as a Greek game, as opposed to simply a game?
~Ripper
Actually that is exactly how they review it. If you're not convinced just count how many times the word "Greek" appears followed in the same sentence by the word "game" in the text and one will get the idea. The sad part is that there are people actually out there that have bought and will buy it on the basis of being "the only Greek MMO game out there" ignoring every other criteria that one uses before buying a game, a thing which i don't understand for the life of me.
I, on the other hand have played the hell out of the game and continue to do so. It's an excellent game.
LOL in red shows that you don't hold any weight either . People don't listen to the Hype again we now have proof out there and plenty of utube videos showing df.. .. moving on now please bash me all you want it is the DF way , look at the way Tasos went off on his first review.. lol
ahahaha wtf. i read up to this point from the beginning of the thread. this dude is fucking insane.
he just goes ape shit on anyone who likes darkfall lol, and he hasnt even tried it to hate it so much.
This thread has turned to shit. No wonder everybody thinks the MMORPG.com forums are full of scum! Can't you people keep on topic?
It's hard to stay on topic with all of the trolls.
This thread was going fine until sanedor came in and told everyone that the siege was fake and designed by Aventurine for hype and that if it was real, it was filled with hacks... Then we find out he never even played the game.
And the best part is that I just got warned by MMORPG Mods for questioning his (a troll) bizarre accusations.
It's too bad threads like this get derailed. Sanedor got exactly what he wanted. A thread that was showing off the fun aspects of DF turned to shit due to a troll.

God, where'd you come from? Yet another fanbot that posts pro-Darkfall crap and attempts to spin anything that suggests Darkfall is not "teh prefect gamez".
I've read a few of your posts on the official boards, and I have to say they are the typical crap you get on there, unhelpful, insulting and with an air of arrogance to attempt to cover up your insecurities.
If so I saw you getting slapped down real hard last night on the Race Alignment chat about your comments. Sure lends a lot of credibility to your comments here if you are the same person ROFLMAO.

Hey man let me ask you something. Have you even played DarkFall?
It doesn't seem like it.
That only goes to show that half the negative stuff about the game is from weird people like him. They really need to add a "subscriber" tag to people on ForumFall to expose the crazies.
if i say yes then most are going to add me to the list of retards that were dumb enough to pay money for it.. but no i have not
We'll just go ahead and add you to the regular list of retards then.
Exactly.
Nothing you say holds any weight.
I, on the other hand have played the hell out of the game and continue to do so. It's an excellent game.

Woo trick question, if i say yes then most are going to add me to the list of retards that were dumb enough to pay money for it.. but no i have not but then again i did not buy Dark & Light either
Hold on a second here... You haven't played the game..... But your main complaints about it are that it's got Bad Graphics (Which you could only have seen in Screenshots or Low Res Videos) And that there are Hackers everywhere.... Which you couldn't really know unless you know.... you've played the game and encountered them. And All of the people who are in the thread who do play the game are telling you it ain't so...... yeah.
On a side note, Played Darkfall... Didn't like it much. Too punishing and too damn slow to be any fun for me.

Actually, I think THIS* would be Tasos "first" review. At least this would explain his outrage over the EurogamerMMO one.

OMG don't just write about it show some pictures and video.. lets see the truth not.
wow , what a day i just got out of the coolest and bloody battle in mmo history.. there i was hold off a horde of 100k just me and my guild of 300 we were so great and in the end we won ..
we want to see the fight not what you make up and make sound good.
It was the largest battle so far in the game's history. I'm sure people FRAPSed it, and videos will probably be posted soon.
So how many was there? I sure hope it was more than 2000, cause Tasos stated before that they had 2000 man battles. So unless there was more than 2000 men in this battle, someone is not telling the truth. Hmmm. Just asking.

Forum: Official Topic
As a country, Greece has always been technologically far behind in all areas. The games industry has never been able to get a game to be successful and to discuss world. The best known until now our international titles (in English) was the World Basketball Manager (Sports), the Conspiracies (Adventure), the Chicken Invaders (2D shooter) and Theseis, an Adventure, which had not ever released. And we are now in the history of the Darkfall. Began in 2001 in Oslo Norway an effort to create an MMORPG from the Norwegian company Razorwax. A year later, the Greek company Aventurine acquires in the hands of the project and the developers who until then develop and run the job. It took eight years of development, hiring dozens of developers from Greek and international arena, and tens of thousands of hours worked million batzet to have a MMORPG today worthy of admiration, which now has global reach.
Community
The community is in Darkfall site www.darkfallonline.com. Before the game even released, the site was already the largest communities worldwide, with over 350,000 members and 3,000,000 messages! That is another reason why the game is known in almost all RPG gamers on the planet. Nevertheless, he had heard enough and malicious comments and doubts about the delay, but removed this year in January, when he announced the release of.
The tribes
We are in the world of Agon, which is one of the largest we have ever seen in a MMORPG. The races from which you can choose your character are the following six: Orks, Dwarves, Mahirim, Humans, Mirdain (Elf), Alfar (Dark Elf). After making your selection you can define gender, skin color and features of your appearance. The tribes of the game have friendships or animosities between them, which affects not only users but the NPC with whom contact.
The character selection does not affect your development, since 95% of the skills can be learned by all characters, regardless of race to which they belong. The remaining 5% are special abilities that relate to the race. There is a slight influence on the strength and intelligence. The order in which the tribes have written above, concerns how strong is the strength (the stronger to weaker). For how strong intelligence in the series is exactly the reverse.
After selecting your character, the game will put you in a similar capital of your race and you can select which of the three cities will start. Your goal, beyond the evolution of your character, is the acquisition of word-stones. These ancient relics for which the major clans of the game is expected to kontarochtypithoun. This scenario does not exist and therefore users are those who should build the case for the game.
Handling
The environment of Darkfall Online will be your first concern, but after some time familiarizing will pleasantly surprise you. The moves your fighter with WASD. The camera is controlled with the mouse, left click with the mouse used to attack and right to navigate the menus found in background. This feature is truly unique because you can open any windows in the background you want and with a right click to turn off the control and actuate the control menu. All windows in this environment is fully editable on the location and size, as in the windows of your Windows. There are windows that show you the statistics, the skills you map in your inventory (which is called "paperdoll") and your hotbar, which has 10 tabs with 10 slots each, so total of 100 posts to enter the skills you want to use. To use the skills you must go to the menu of each skill, to drag the hotbar where you want to use, press the corresponding number from your keyboard while you left-click. The paperdoll has a wide range of choices for clothes and accessories that can be worn by your character. Includes helmet, necklace, earrings, armor, pants, two rings, cape, shirt, panties, epikalamides, sword, shield and arrows. Feel like 'You have to look that.
In addition to the WASD, other hotkeys are as follows. With the Shift running with C hang, with F (Use) NPC to talk or interact with any object you have before you, the Space pidate and take the R or collecting your gun. The command has the following negative for the particular camera. To see your character in third person camera should press R to get a gun. When the gun is gathered then the camera will be the first person permanently. To you be your best pictures of the area around you, you have every right to carry a gun in his hand, without affecting the speed of your character. The downside is that when they need to interact with the subject, ie to speak to a NPC, to look at a grave enemy to loot or to open the safe, you should leave the gun with the "R" and then press the Use key (F).
For all the above is a basic tutorial that appears in the game and explains the key points of control. For more details on what you should do in the game there is a special Help menu that you can call at any time and explaining how the game is played and what your purpose. Finally, any useful information such as quests, skills and statistics from other similar arrangements, retained the menu Journal.
Characteristics, Skills and Battle
Unlike almost all the RPG market, which have levels, the Darkfall has no levels of the system but is based on the nature of the skills. As an exercise to improve both the skill and therefore affects the attributes you. Something similar we have seen in other RPG like Oblivion, but there are levels which divide up extra points in skills, which does not apply here. The skills are divided into five categories: Combat Skills, Crafting Skills, General Skills, Magic Skills and Weapon Skills. Some of these exercise unconsciously, such as the Combat skills when the enemy attack with a specific weapon, while the exercise synideita, putting them in hotbar from which you can dial into the battle by pressing the appropriate number and then Left-click.
The key attributes of each character is the Strength, the Vitality, the Dexterity, the Quickness, the Intelligence and Wisdom. In the same tab with the characteristics are the armor penalties and protections. The armor penalties are the statistics: Encumbrance, Melee and Magic Archery. For example, the Encumbrance affects you depending on whether you are loaded with loot, so when you put your backpack in the spoils of their enemies, you will then need to deposit in your treasury (bank). The protections Protections are having your character. There are a total of 15 protections, such as Cold, Fire, Lightning, Acid, Arrow, etc.
As your skills develop, so will improve the basic attributes and protections you. The Strength increases the damage you do with your weapons in battles with the body and affects the body and maximum health. The Vitality gives bonus to maximum health and stamina, while reducing the effects of poisons and aimoragias. The Dexterity is interdependent on the damage you do with arrows. The Quickness slow weapons near or distant range and reduces the damage you receive from these attacks. Moreover, increases the maximum strength (stamina). The Intelligence is interdependent with the spells, increase your resistance to attacks of mental spells, and increases the mana. The Wisdom gives bonus to crafting and harvesting skills, while it increases the mana.
The key attributes affecting respectively and the three main statistics of your character, the Health, the Stamina and Mana. The five categories of skills mentioned above will satisfy even the most demanding users. There are dozens of each type of skills that can continuously exercise:
- The Combat skills have to do with the main battle and blocking attacks. By Parry (key V) you can raise your shield to block the attack of the enemy. Then there are the skills Armored Proficiency, Armored Archery and Armored Casting, which carried both receive blows from swords, arrows and magic, respectively.
- The Crafting Skills help you to create food for your character to enhance your weapons or even to build homes for you or your clan! Usually, for the exercise you need to find the right accessory. If you find a fishing pole, you can sit in the water and practice the Fishing. If you find a wood axe, you can perform the Logging, ie cutting trees. With the pickaxe digging rocks. There are other skills such as cooking (to cook in the oven!), Smelting (melting ores), Repair (repair weapons and armor), etc.
- The General Skills are generic skills of your character, such as run swimming and rest. But there are more psagmenes skills like revive (to revive the other characters do), the riding (reduces stamina required when running with a pet) or constitution (poison resistance).
- The Magic Skills are different types of magic, like Fire magic, Air Magic, Water Magic, Necromancy, Spell Chanting, Witchcraft, etc.
- Finally, Weapon Skills practice when using their weapons. Each skill represents a category of weapon. Here it is worth to you to write all realize that there is a wide variety of available weapons. So the skills Axe, Club & Mace, Archery, Greataxe, Greatclub, Greatsword, Knife, Polearm, Sithra, Sword, Gank and Throwing. The Gang developed a lurch when slaughtered and Throwing the fly when the gun battlespike to your enemy.
The movements of the characters in Darkfall, and the battle system is real-time, like in Oblivion. You can hit the enemy, you block the attack with your shield or jump in the ring and all in real time rather than clicking and allowing the character to beat itself (pp unfortunately it happens many MMORPG). The enemies you frequented in specific parts of the map, but at intervals of attack in groups, not only to you that close to the region but also in neighboring towns where colonies users! The level of artificial intelligence monsters are the best we have ever seen. We noticed that even small and insignificant goblins or skeletons, are pragmatic responses to their moves. Surround you, trying to avoid your attack, use spells and pets Kavala attack in waves. Furthermore, what we liked was the importance of stamina. The resistance decreases when you run or you strike movement, but generally takes from the beginning to empty and filled respectively. If empty then you can not knock your enemies and will have to wait to fill up even just to launch the next attack. This is the most realistic and understandable.
The enemies you are located in specific parts of the map which used to PvE (Player vs Environment). The PvP (Player vs Player), can be performed anywhere, provided that a member of a clan and a clan war has kyrixei to another. Otherwise will be characterized by the game as evil and become a target of "good" users. If you accidentally try to hurt another user, then you display the Rogue removed after a few seconds. If you continue to do the same time then the time at the Rogue will be multiplied and will have to wait longer. It would therefore be careful with you because frictions
A vast world
The Agon of the country is perhaps the largest we have ever encountered in any MMORPG market. To cross the map from one end to another you need 8 hours, which has never seen any similar game. The Agon is a huge island in the corners of which is surrounded by four other smaller islands, the Niflheim, Yssam, Rubaiyat and Gairn. There are also several small islands scattered in the map, which also can be occupied by clans. The territory has all kinds of recommendations. There are forests, deserts, frozen landscapes, tropical vegetation, valleys, rivers and even swamp.
To Agon has Dungeons and where there are no instances, but the rooms are available for all users to fight with PvE or PvP, and fight like the earth's surface. In each dungeon that you enter is a single entry and exit at the end of the road. Alternatively, you can return to the parent bindstone your city with the command / bindstone_recall from the chat (+ Tab). In the dungeons of the enemies is not too difficult to link with the outside world and there are usually better than normal loot. The map of the game is full of sites where clans can build cities. The sites are either obvious or hidden in dungeons, mountains, etc. between Each clan may kyrixei another war whenever it wishes, so that members could formally each other, but users have penalties for their behavior. The clans can even build siege weapons like catapults, and ballistic poliorkitikous rams. The game has put a restriction on the destruction of buildings of a city so can destroy a building by the day.
The first big game in the Greek history of MMORPG games are and what we dream!
The main gameplay
The level of difficulty of Darkfall is quite high for the average user. Your initial concern is to find a region for PvE and start the upload your skills. These areas are small and have many enemies, provided that time does not have "plakosei" many users simultaneously and enemies not to catch your first xeprovaloun kills with small enemies will be quite difficult to achieve, leaving you only a 20-30 % of your available energy. We therefore have enough patience until you increase your health. And because every enemy that should kill the first few hours you rest, thus you will rest a bit while when rapid replenishment. The rest can be done even when enemies are around you, but is always likely to hit while sitting down. Remember always to take further items from dead monsters from the grave, with the key "F" and then right-click and drag in your backpack (drag & drop). Mandate for all transportation to Take All there is, so will need some patience. Also, anything you consider valuable, like money or good items, you must first be stored in your box to be safe. Otherwise, if we lose that killed you on your articles.
The quests given by NPC of each city. The NPC is low in each city from which you start and have the consultant role and trader together, because maintaining such a place from which you can buy and sell items. There are different types of swords and axes with which to start, although we recommend not to pay for your first weapon, because both PvP and in PvE, if you will be killed automatically remove the equipment and money before you have . So, if you have skills and the plate before you get a user-rogue and attack you, then crying your investment. When you kill and there is a second chance to revive, which can be done by anyone, provided that you click on the button revive (which stated the hotbar) and left click the mouse. There is also the possibility, in two minutes you are given the opportunity to help to bring an enemy or any one user to completion, stealing your property.
The PvP is allowed between users primarily between clans. If that hurt xekarfoto to another user, then you get to just the extent of Rogue. The other strike, so this degree of maintaining and increasing the time of your stay there. If you stop the strike would then gradually reduce the time until the instrument of evil to be eliminated from your top.
Through the live chat that the game is inside you, other than to chat to other users, and give specific instructions to your character. Pressing the button and then press Tab (instead of enter) you can see a full list of commands. By / party_create create a group with others to get pareoula Safer farming. Invite users to / party_invite_player user name. The / gm_help followed by your message, send message to a Game Master (Moderator of the game which is online) to request direct assistance on any matter. Moreover, there are several more commands, and other useful for other simple chavale like / air_guitar with which the character you play ... guitarist! Try also the following and see the results: / doh, / drink, / greetings, / laugh, / mock, / no_no, / point_back, / point_front, / point_right, / point_left, / show_off, / shrug, / sneeze, / taunt_03, / taunt_04, / taunt_05, / thinking. / thumb_down, / thumb_up, / wave, / yawn.
A key issue is that the Darkfall should above all have patience. The patience you start from the queue in the server (where a peak may wait for hours to sign up to play), continues with the learning of skills and equipment and ends with the search for PvE. Many users can not expect to walk long distances to find an area with enemies and so the spin immediately in PvP ... taking the wrong road. Each user has its own approach and this is what gives this game a special significance. In front of you will find evil characters to a whole cavalry of hostile monsters to "comb" the area for victims. Do not paraxenefteite for nothing, since every corner of this country hides endless secrets, and endless dungeons to explore.
Clans
After succeed and make a decent character with some items, you can try slowly to risk going with attention to the inner part of the Darkfall. If you see that you deal with every day then consider the game to join a clan. The process is simple. Go to a city, you get a word (as if it were a reality) and the clan leader will decide whether to accept your team. But if you want to create a your own team then you can try creating the clan system which is very simple. Authority required for 2000 gold coins and activation by the main menu "Clans". After payment, you will be able to incorporate members of the clan at any time. The friends' list (list of friends) that exists in the menu journal, will help you make your first steps. The clans can understand a city and build their own making a crafting materials like stone and wood.
Cities located anywhere, scattered on the map. If you discover a city and voltarete this while you are not a member of the clan, then you may notified that you attacker. He wants, however, special attention to your steps as difficult PvE encounter in a city, so if you approach and a user who guard the party from any untoward then .... Will not go well!
Graphics
The graphics engine of Darkfall is Rabelaisian textures and problems in anti-aliasing, but even at this level manages to produce the best graphics we have ever seen in a Greek play. The environment has some defects in the design, which mainly covered the night, but we can not overlook the beautiful landscapes that change has such variety in design, which despite the size of the world of Darkfall, it is difficult to bore.
The shadows of the characters and lighting are two components carefully, and blood thrown away the hours of battle. It is just mediocre animations, but at least there in abundance ...! Ie when the energy bar of the characters reaches below the waist, then fill their faces bloodied and arrows that peg their bodies left there for some time. For lighting should be drawn to the beautiful display day and night, where the developers noticed even the slightest details.
The positive with this graphics engine is small loading times that make gameplay more enjoyable. The game loads straight while in the worst case, if you enter into a new area there will be a pause of two seconds and nothing more.
Sound
The Achilles heel of the game is the quality of sound. There are many sound glitches which sounded at random points and with different variations of the volume. These up as a little irritating but not intolerable. The voices of the characters is quite a good job. There are several different variations of voice when a character attacks and highlight the nature of the distance from the camera (to be adjusted accordingly and intensity).
The mere ambient music combined with sounds of sword arcs and try to give a distinct tone, but the general impression we have is that Aventurine did not even bother to search quite a sound. Such cases are the music of arms that almost always make the same sound (one for each gun) and the NPC who are not even open their mouths to speak.
Epilogue
What is Darkfall gentlemen! Cheirokrotiste the most important game in the (little) history of Greece in the games. We expect to see Unreal Engine 3 in front of an instrument passed through eight years of growth. But wait to see a MMORPG that will play in traditional systems market, which did level up, a static system of battle, magic items with the sack and so on. Instead here we had the unexpected. The Darkfall emerged to create something special, while the risk of criticism. However, until now views are basically positive, especially from users who prefer a fully realistic and original MMORPG, and not something ordinary.
The game is still ahead of the future. At present only sold online through www.darkfallonline.com, while at some point should be placed and a second server, for users to escape from the queues and to choose an alternative character.
Positive:
- Realistic system development based on skills
- One of the most high A.I. we have never seen a MMORPG
- Very large world to explore
- Menu fully editable Window environment
- Real-time movement and combat system developed
- Very good build and create clan city
- Auxiliary in-game tutorial
- Short time loading
Negatives:
- The graphic textures
- Minimum and also a few quests NPC
- Queues and small lag in the server
- No specific explanation scenario
- Several glitches in the sound
- Minor issues using camera

In general, the tone of the article seems pretty fair, but I was suprised at the ratings. They seemed to praise the graphics, but called sound the "Achilles heel" of the game? if that's the case, why were they rated so closely. Based on their descriptions, 7.5 for graphics seems fair, at least for their personal scale, but how did sound rate almost as hightly when they panned it? As ratings go, what is "Strength"? Are they reviewing this simply as a Greek game, as opposed to simply a game?

Good Troll man. Good Troll. Nice variation on "Get aids and Die in a fire."
However, the arguement you've made is kind of flipping the sides around for the sake of your example. My Argument was that you haven't played, and are quoting hearsay, while the people who've played the game disagree with you. It's like all the people who slept with the girl say she doesn't have aids, but you choose to believe her Jerkass Ex's rumors instead and don't get laid period. Or for example you drop your keys into one of those shitty fake fireplaces but won't reach for them for fear it's a real fire when all of the other people in the room are calling you a dumbass.
In all seriousness man, try to come up with an argument that has a valid point if you want to rile people up.

Oh, I agree with you Ripper, I was just saying that this is probably why Tasos was all hot and bothered by the Eurogamer review.
Apparently Tasos thought that since the guy down the hall, that he has lunch with everyday, rated the game so high, that the Eurogamer dude was just a flake and couldn't possibly know what the hell Darkfall was all about. Shame on him!!
regardless, Tasos's bitchfest over the Eurogamer's review labeled him as a whiner in the business, and no one with any credentials will ever touch him or Darkfall with a laser beam pointer. Just another checkmark against Aventurine as far as I am concerned.
Anywho... dang, this thing went WAY OT... oops
Edit: pelling
Editx2: After further thought (or lack thereof), I bet even Smedley read Tasos's tantrum and went, "WTF!!".
DarkFall FAQ - Read then Question with Boldness
@ Respit - sorry, I should have clarified. I got your point. I was simply commenting on the article itself. It probably deserves it's own thread.
~Ripper
No problems here. To be honest, I was a little out of line, my post kind of seemed a little hostile towards you. I apologize.
Anyway, I just get tired of all the justification that gets thrown around. Especially the "you haven't played" nonsense. Good Lord, I don't have to go into Compton at 2 a.m. to know I don't have any desire to do that. But in Darkfall's case, I did. Luckily, it didn't cost me anything but time.
As far as this thread getting off-topic, considering the OP started a new thread concerning it, I figure this one is fair game now.
DarkFall FAQ - Read then Question with Boldness
Rhinok, I know that eurogamer had released an article about darkfall previously saying how pure the implementation and how bad it sucks to play becouse in game mechanics are so incomplete blah blah, and a day later tasos has released logs of the reviewer showing that he has played the game for two hours (which you cannot do anything realisticly to speak about game mechanics etc), and how he tried to learn controls on ingame chat etc.
My point is, eurogamer is not a company to trust, either if they are talking in favor of a game or the reverse. Some of their reviewers are jerks for sure
I know you posted to Rhinok, but to be honest, I would take Eurogamer's word over Tasos anyday. Without question. Tasos has more than proven his character. Heck, I am just waiting for more (if any) of the more aflluent gaming sights decide to throw down a review. Should prove interesting.

Actually that is exactly how they review it. If you're not convinced just count how many times the word "Greek" appears followed in the same sentence by the word "game" in the text and one will get the idea. The sad part is that there are people actually out there that have bought and will buy it on the basis of being "the only Greek MMO game out there" ignoring every other criteria that one uses before buying a game, a thing which i don't understand for the life of me.
Iiii-iiiiiit's.... me!!! *Hooray*
This thread has turned to shit. No wonder everybody thinks the MMORPG.com forums are full of scum! Can't you people keep on topic?
No one is forcing you to come here you know. If you have such a problem with the community here. Then you are more then welcome not to visit it.
In War - Victory.
In Peace - Vigilance.
In Death - Sacrifice.
Exactly.
Nothing you say holds any weight.
I, on the other hand have played the hell out of the game and continue to do so. It's an excellent game.
LOL in red shows that you don't hold any weight either . People don't listen to the Hype again we now have proof out there and plenty of utube videos showing df.. .. moving on now please bash me all you want it is the DF way , look at the way Tasos went off on his first review.. lol
ahahaha wtf. i read up to this point from the beginning of the thread. this dude is fucking insane.
he just goes ape shit on anyone who likes darkfall lol, and he hasnt even tried it to hate it so much.
what a lunatic
Ok all...
Let's get back on topic shall we?
No, The topic is not "Flaming others for their opinion" either.
Thank you
It's hard to stay on topic with all of the trolls.
This thread was going fine until sanedor came in and told everyone that the siege was fake and designed by Aventurine for hype and that if it was real, it was filled with hacks... Then we find out he never even played the game.
And the best part is that I just got warned by MMORPG Mods for questioning his (a troll) bizarre accusations.
It's too bad threads like this get derailed. Sanedor got exactly what he wanted. A thread that was showing off the fun aspects of DF turned to shit due to a troll.
That said, if you want to read about stuff like this then visit the Clan Discussion Forum:

God, where'd you come from? Yet another fanbot that posts pro-Darkfall crap and attempts to spin anything that suggests Darkfall is not "teh prefect gamez".
I've read a few of your posts on the official boards, and I have to say they are the typical crap you get on there, unhelpful, insulting and with an air of arrogance to attempt to cover up your insecurities.
Hey Harmonica are you Gary Coleman in game?
If so I saw you getting slapped down real hard last night on the Race Alignment chat about your comments. Sure lends a lot of credibility to your comments here if you are the same person ROFLMAO.
