Personally, I enjoy the "idea" of DarkFall. As a EVE player I respect what they are trying to do. However, I hate FPS. I get dizzy. 

Darkfall ain't no MMO, it's a huge arena deathmatch, just like Earthrise.

The only MMORPG with a working implementation of FFA PvP is EvE Online, as it has safer areas, where there's consequences for ganking people mindlessly and there's actually something else to do then only PvPing or grinding mobs the whole day.

Again. Darkfall ain't no MMO... just a huge arena deathmatch and I rather play Unreal Tournament in that case.

Rather than being "ganked" everywhere, safe areas as in towns, would be nice to have. Darkfall does remind me allot of UO when it first came out. Lots of ganking then with little help from city guards. Challenging but fun to try to develop your character

I agree its probly one of the best mmos out currently but what gets to me sometimes is the amount of binds a higher end toon needs to be effective. The UI truely is still a pile of trash so much so that the players have no choice but to use programs like auto hot key to get anything done.

I can't wait for the UI revamp because to be honest DFOs UI is starting to get on my nerves so much that I'm almost prepared to /cancel sub until AV gets off their asses and does something to fix it.

 All large scale battles are basically text based. The client displays the actions graphically and transmits the keyboard input to the server, the server integrates the inputs determines the outcome and sends the results to the client ro display, what is transmitted is just ascii. It's not much above morse code really. The real trick is optimizing the netcode and the way the server handles the throughput. EVE is head and shoulders above anything else out there even though it's programmed in a mostly obsolete language. I don't care for EVE but you have to admnire the technology. Darkfall has crap for technology but the game concept is more attractive to me. It's too bad the skill system is such a lackluster grindfest.

I see that you're trying to sound smart, but this is just stupid..

 Uh huh. Thanks for you're worthless input. Next time I won't bother explaining it to you.

I wan ted to like DFO but the UI is so terrible, I want to see what their going to do with it before i re-sub.

This game has the worst, most poorly made User Interface of any game, single or multiplayer, that I have ever played.  Love the concepts in the game but it needs a graphical and UI overhaul, and I'm sure a lot more things I don't know because I haven't played it long term at all.

No it is not and it never was or will.

The best mmo on the maket that nobody has ever heard of and nobody plays? You still can not even find a review for the game from professional sites like IGN and Gamespot.

IGN does have a "review" of DarkFall http://vault.ign.com/View.php?view=editorials.detail&id=225

That being said, I think since the whole EuroGamer review fiasco, most review websites have chosen to avoid Darkfall....that and DarkFall doesn't advertise so they don't bother with the game either, let alone give it a good "7.5-8.5/10" score that all games they've advertised on receives.

Nonetheless, DarkFall is far from being the "best MMORPG" out there, and if AV don't change the way they work, it will never be.

Not that anyone in the would would be able to make sense of that nonsense.

Darkfall is not a MMORPG, it is a AAFPA. (Arcade Action First Person Adventure)

Theree is no role playing, it's an arcade game.

This.  IGN and Gamespot won't even acknowledge this game's existence with anything other than a page with no image and a one sentence description of what the product was supposed to be.

Thats not a review. I clearly says Hands On Preview / First Impression as the title.

I hate that game. I farmed bosses for 3 hours and some dude came up, killed me, and took everything.

Single best advertisement for Darkfall to date. Thanks for helping me remember why I like this genre. Now I want to go buy the game so I can kill lost WoW/Trammies looking to see how the other side lives. Too funny. LOL!

Followed up by the single best advertisement against Darkfall to date.  Fortunately for your genre, your kind is the reason why games like this will never become successful enough to destroy the path of the MMO industry.

What fool stays in one spot for 3 hours farming a mob? Of course you'll get your stuff taken if you play like that. Rule number 1 of Darkfall, Bank early bank often, rule number 2 of Darkfall, first learn rule number 1.

Yeah it sure is the best MMO, that is why there are so many people playing the game. Jokes aside, I think youre wrong.

agree with opening poster..

The only think is that none have the balls or patience to get into this game and start bashing the forums that it sucks.

DARKFALL IS THE BEST

for newcomers its a pain, but  we all learned it the hard way..

DARKFALL IS ONE OF A KIND THERE IS NO BETTER SKILLED PLAYER COMBAT AROUND!!

Planetside was better... far far better.

gtfo

planetside is a shooter omg..
