Ub3rgames Secures Darkfall Online LicensingDFO Darkfall News
Ub3rgames has announced the final negotiations have been completed with Aventurine and that the company has secured licensing for Darkfall Online. Ub3rgames is currently at work on its iteration of the game called Darkfall: New Dawn.

It's probable that the other company will have to stop now that licensing has been transferred to this company. They, I would assume, now have exclusive use of all assets and the name.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If I were you I'd find any other game to play. Remember what happened to you the last time?

Most people just wanted an improved DFO, not the crap fest that was DFUW.
Now it might finally happen.
The biggest factor in the failure of both games was the development team behind it. They were pretty much the definition of incompetence. Hopefully the new crew can do what Aventurine was incapable of and actually turn Darkfall into the game it had the potential to be.
a lot of us have been waiting for this... me included!

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed.

"We just didn't want to sign whatever was put in front of us to get DF back. This is a serious endeavour and a contract we'll be bound to for years so we're not rushing to sign till we're ready and satisfied with the terms. Should be hopefully quite soon
-Andrew".
What we have here are two distinct projects based on one hell of game that are inevitably both going to make their presence felt and do so in their own unique way. Either way Darkfall is back bitchs!

It always struck me so weird that people are so quick to write off the PVE element as unneeded when Darkfall Online was meant to be the spiritual successor of Ultima Online. In Ultima Online, a rich vibrant world filled with monsters was always the top priority. The extreme interest in PvP was not really expected and, in fact, they dialed it back huge by giving everyone Trammel (A PvE server).
UO was a PVE world first. For PvP to actually matter in a Massive Multiplayer sense, you need to love the world. It needs to feel alive - like it's more than just a giant Battleground. If everything exists just to make it easier for people to kill each other and serves no other purpose, then you don't have a virtual world - you just have a MOBA. And MOBAs are better at being MOBAs.
You can direct ask them these questions in their website or reddit if you don't believe me, they will reply to your doubts.
In the hand of these 2 new companies DF1 will hopefully reach its true potential.
Long life Darkfall!!!
ps: Price for the first 10000 players will be only 20€ + a monthly fee included for the beta phase and the first release month (next fee will be only 10 € till the release when the price will be 14,50 €), very cheap, no cash shop, no potions, no skins, no p2w, everyone will have access to the same content. They will also add something like the EVE "plex", so you can play for free buying these items from other players.
