Aventurine Studios has announced the next episode of Darkfall that has been in the works for the past two years. The expansion originally began as Darkfall 2010. With the massive number of changes and additions the team wanted to implement, it eventually evolved into a new game called Darkfall Unholy Wars. The team has released a new video giving insight into the new iteration of the PvP-centric game.

Darkfall: Unholy Wars is a fast-paced, PvP MMORPG with full loot. Players are called to form clans and battle for dominance across the seamless and open fantasy world of Agon. Recruit and train new warriors, conquer fortresses and clan cities, engage in epic land and naval battles with thousands of concurrent players and build powerful empires.

Third thread going on this.  I think we need some amalgamation ;)

I didn't hear any details that would peak my interest to go back and try.  Nice to hear they are still chipping away though.

I had so many good memories playing Darkfall... the PVP ... exploring, running for hours just to get halfway across the huge world.. the fear .. the sound of your heart pounding in your chest when a group of 'reds' start to pursue you and you run for your life... the epic loot. 

Everything had value and more important... 'people had value'. Once they took the value of being a person away in games, they took away our humanity. People should be able to choose right from wrong, not be forced to walk a liner path the the game defines for you.

The only reason I stopped playing, was because I had close friends who couldn't handle the PVP full loot system. Due to pear pressure, I decided to move on to more theme park based MMO's. Even though I play GW2 right now, my heart still belongs to Darkfall. 

The only thing holding me back from playing Darkfall right now, is the release of Darkfall 2.0.

Sorry for my rambling. Normally I do not make posts, I read them, but Darkfall brings strong emotions to the surface. If bigger companies do not take a chance and invest in games like Darkfall, then I feel the MMO market will crash. People want to be respected, honored, or feared. They do not want to hit max level and spend endless hours as a drone mashing buttons just to get the next set of raid gear(well maybe some). 

Alright I'll stop before I start contradicting myself or something.

What sort of details would interest you, out of curiosity?

I love pvp and I love risk vs reward yet I disliked Darkfall. It just wasn't fun for me, period.

Why?

I'm glad they're making the game far more accessable and easier to pick up for more casual players or people who struggle to get into Darkfall atm due to shit UI.

Class system

New shiny looking UI

More updated graphics

New player friendly

But at the heart of it the game still has that brutal full loot fps pvp with conquest!

<3 AV for doing this

I love to know what games you like that had these elements...

About time! With GW2's themepark ride slowing down, I badly need a sandbox game to get back in to. Darkfall always was great, and if DUW solves the key issues the orginial game suffered from (GUI, ect.), I'm sure this could be a succes.

The MMO industry needs sandbox games like Darkfall to be succesful, unless we want to keep playing themeparks. I just hope Aventurine can pull it off...

 Such lies. This company did nothing but lead people on, and hide the real truth to keep them subbed. DF 1.0 was a proof of concept game only. Just over 3 years ago AV went off to Asia to find funding for DF 2.0! For the days they had interested investors looks at the game they made sure there were players by activating all accounts for 3 days with fast skill gains.

Before that Tasos was leading players on pretending DF 2010 to be a big expansion for about over a year before DF 2.0 being a new game came to light, along with a character wipe being a possibility .

There never was a 2010 expansion that become 2.0, they knew all along 2.0 was going to be a new game that they needed to raise funds for from the proof of concept they were at with DF. Of course it wouldn't take AV 5 years again since most of that time was creating the engine.

Look at Tasos body language , arms folded ,leaning forward with very little hands movement! The classic signs of somebody knowing what they're saying isn't true. His well known for BS's about things by the old DF community.

What does this have to do with how the game will ultimately be like? I'd also like to know how a struggling indie company can have solid plans over 2 or more years without altering intent. I would bet their plans changed monthly. Also note I absolutely hated the first version of the game due to failed concepts and the actual community (likely the worst ever created in any game ever ... and this was before it was even launched).

Doesn't change the fact that it was an awesome game that they supported with 70 patches and 3 free expansions. Just over 3 years ago AV went off to Asia to find funding for DF 2.0! Actually, they did that about 4 months ago, and it was for publishing 2.0 in Asia, not funding its development. For the days they had interested investors looks at the game they made sure there were players by activating all accounts for 3 days with fast skill gains.

 

Before that Tasos was leading players on pretending DF 2010 to be a big expansion It was a big expansion. Plans change in game development all the time. There have even been players who went to Greece and got to play it. for about over a year before DF 2.0 being a new game came to light, along with a character wipe being a possibility .

There never was a 2010 expansion that become 2.0,Wrong.  they knew all along 2.0 was going to be a new game Did you talk to them about this? Source? All other sources say you're wrong.  that they needed to raise funds for from the proof of concept they were at with DF. Of course it wouldn't take AV 5 years again since most of that time was creating the engine.

Look at Tasos body language , arms folded ,leaning forward with very little hands movement! The classic signs of somebody knowing what they're saying isn't true. His well known for BS's about things by the old DF community. You mean, the way he's acted in every video interview he's ever given?

You vaportrolls never went away I guess. You see conspiracy theories around every corner it seems. It's just amazing that some people are still this jaded about the fact that Darkfall turned out to be a real game that they continually invent BS and try to pass it off as fact.
