Camps, Cities and NPCs in Dark and Light

Cities are core elements of Dark and Light. Compared to traditional sandbox survival games, where the player's character is simply dropped into the world, naked and alone, Dark and Light starts the player off in one of three distinct cities. This lends to a more "civilized" start for the player, and introduces them to the world in a friendlier way.

This might just be the MMO that captures my young spirit and makes me feel like a kid again.

Tecca · October 2016

It's looking great, as we've known for a while. Decent info came from the press-release PDF, somewhat of a themepark start to the game (which I don't mind at all). Now we just need... gameplay videos.

"The lord possesses command of mythical mounts, and uses their power to guide other residents of the city in all aspects of daily life, from housing and trade to defense against external threats.
.....with all trade happening at the discretion of the lord."

The "Lord" and PVP system gives me concerns that this game will quickly become a militaristic society like Eve. I don't want to log on and be told what to do. Some days I want to log in and hunt, some days days I want to craft, mine, explore ....ect. CTAs(Call to arms) ruined eve for me. Finally get a day off work to relax and play a game...and some asshat with a superiority complex is telling me what to do with my game time. "Get in fleet or get kicked out of the alliance!"

Obviously that would only happen on the PVP server, how the lord or stealing effects anyone on the PVE server is yet to be known. I would think you can't steel other players gear or on the PVE server.

I reckon you can still become a lord but it would be more of a status symbol with things like mythical mounts being available.

This looks like fun and having 3 factions sound good. Hope for good things from this one.

I think so too.

Well... we say we want change and innovation, looks like we're getting it.

The game so far is sounding quite interesting. My biggest concern personally will be the monetization model. I'm really hoping it won't fuckup what might otherwise be a great game.

A1learjet · October 2016

Just hoping that players can build outposts or keeps (guild controlled etc) like the old Settlers Of Garneth/Dark and Light

URMAKER · October 2016

Does this have any affiliation with the original Dark and light? That was the single worst mmo I've ever played in my life. If so I ain't buying into any hype for this game.

Apparently the company bought the rights or some such thing, completely reworked the game and it only uses the name and some of the assets.

bamwalla · October 2016

Looks awesome.

Though that is pretty nice for a "shantytown'

Albatroes · October 2016

Proper gameplay would be nice snail games, not these random gifs that honestly dont say anything. For all we know, these gifs could be from cut scenes or something.

Wow why the heck are you in that corp? I have played Eve for 10 years and never had anyone say that to me. It is your bad choice of a corp, not the game.

I am very conflicted about this game, snail games are well known cash shop abusers. Hope it is not the case with this game.

BillMurphy · October 2016

Just give me PVE servers with optional faction-based PVP and I'm happy.

modus · October 2016

I still can't figure out why they are making this game with such a tarnished name. I'd say they are hoping people won't remember, but that would be a poor business decision.

Nemesis7884 · October 2016

when is this game coming into early access? fall already started and it seems very very quiet about the game - no videos, no gameplay no nothing...the amount of news points to an early stage development game rather than a pre release product?

WHAT is looking great? there isnt anything to look at?? The screenshots? Screenshots arent worth anything and hardly representative of a final game... The listed features? All mmo projects in recent years have gone overboard with better bigger feature lists - talk is cheap No gameplay, no videos, no nothing - if a game releases in one or two months and you have no gameplay to show for...this should be a MAJOR red flag within the mmorpg community with regards to all the failures of the recent years... If i had a game short before release and wanted to create buzz, a game im proud of and convinced its great - i would show as much gameplay as possible - look at all the gameplay from civ 6 for example? Why - cause it looks great and they know it... at this point im gonna assume this is another failure until convinced otherwise by GAMEPLAY.

My corp is fine, but most every alliance we join has the same attitude as described.

Thank God they are not doing that, you'll get your kicks on the pvp server. The pver's will have a pve server without pvp, everyone is happy.

The pvp crowd can pvp till there harts content and they can also pve on there server, that's your dream answered.

Is this going to be released (even in a playable alpha like many early access survivor games) within the next 6 months?

Or is this a game that looks and sounds damn amazing, but I should check back in a year or two (or more) to be able to play it?

Oh, awesome

that is epic news. This year is almost over too, so not long

I just don't like getting excited for a game if its over a year from now, since I don't have that much patience to be excited for a game that long lol. But, seeing that is actually not long off, thats cool.

I'm guessing it was in development for a while and not talked about much, but close to "release" they are hyping things up? Or did I miss this game somehow and its been announced in development for a while?

Did they say there would be no PVP options in the PVE server? Flagging, arenas or dueling even?

Key word being optional

Wtf are you going on about lol the game will be the same other than controls. I take it you have never played an mmo on a console, if you had you wouldn't spout such nonsense.
