Nothing , it is an old school real game with well integrated features and everything that used to be good about MMOs. Simple really.

The innovation is in the nerve to go back to what was good, and not continue with the currnt trash being released.

This is a question you should ask any WoW-clone instead! And if you read up on Darkfall you will understand.

All things associated with character freedom rather than all of the artificial restrictions placed in most modern games.  IE - inability to attack certain npc, inability to attack players, locked encounters, in/out of combat distinctions, instanced zones, pvp areas, level restricted pvp, no looting in pvp etc.  Games these days have taken too far of a step away from realism to be immersive IMO.

All of these supposed "safeguards" really seem to set people up to be griefed more than they help.  People always find a way around the artificial game mechanics and will find a way to grief other players.  Then they take away the player's freedom to kill that other player and take their ninja looted item back for example.

So you actually played the game?

Nothing new just old ideas rehashed.  Trying to recapture the magic that was old UO.  Will it work?  Time will tell I'm not betting on it because gamers now are not the same as gamers back then.  There are quite flankly SO MANY more ass holes that play mmos then there used to be.

Great answer.

I still have a hard time believing the promises.  I do really hope the game does well and shows the industry that not everyone wants easy to play games.  But I will remain very skeptical until something rock solid is shown.

you can never recapture the magic, everyone has a first mmo and no mmo will be as good as that first one you played..lt sucks but thats how it is. i cry out for the days of swg..that game was so much fun..mmo's were new to me and it seemed like you could do anything in that game.

Darkfall might change that.
