Devs Discuss Why They Are Relaunching Darkfall
The Darkfall: New Dawn site has been updated with a lengthy discussion and FAQ about why it is that the development team is relaunching the original game with improvements made for its particular vision. Of particular note is the acknowledgement that the original Darkfall was crippled by critical issues that hurt its wider appeal.

However, their explanation for why they're re-re-re(?)-releasing this game seems to show that they are very passionate about it. I'm very passionate about owning an Ferrari 458 Italia. The problem in both cases is: are the funds available to back up the passion?

Love Minecraft. And check out my Youtube channel OhCanadaGamer
Try a MUD today at http://www.mudconnect.com/the only thing DF did well was the accuracy/responsiveness of it's combat, which granted it's a big part of a pvp game. however, a lot of things were very shitty in that game, starting with the fact that there was nothing else to do but pvp (and grind to keep up to everyone else so you wouldn't be gimped in pvp).
RIP Ribbitribbitt you are missed, kid.

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.

For me personally the grind is one of the things that made DF1 special. I liked the fact i had to work my ass of for 6 months just to have necromancy maxed out...you know "sense of accomplishment" and shit like that.
I see that as a pve player's mindset; a sense of accomplishment in a pvp game for me comes from increasing my skill and tactical/strategic gameplay, not from grinding an xp bar or sitting my toon on a tree for hours on end to harvest resources.
Just go play the same carbon copy crap you have been since 2002, its that simple.
Dont want to play something different? Then go back to theme park cookie cutter theme thats been beat to death for the last decade.

Ditto, New Dawn is the more promising because they focus on the sandbox aspect, adding content for pve and crafting/trading crowds instead of the pvp gankbox arena that seems Rise of Agon.
Hope they get the game up soon coz i want to play a new sandbox, i cant' stand anymore all these abortions wow clones.

uw was a abomination
Most of the discussions of the players that have played dfuw were about RoA. But they are the arena PvP only crowd for the most part. I have no interest in playing more of the PvP only, arena combat is everything Darkfall.
