The original DarkFall game will be about the same size and UW, here is a good comparison with WoW on the size.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcCOPDpha5I Read the comment the Uploader made. What bothers me is the Sprinting time is so short for Darkfall and it seems like there is unlimited sprint. I hope there is not Unlimited Sprint in Unholy Wars.
As for the World itself, WoW may be a lot smaller but every single zone looked different and was very detailed. Unholy Wars does not look like it will have the same diversity of enviornments that WoW had, no really exotic locations, just Grasslands, Snow, Volcanoe Ashlands, Deserts and Wasteland. The world itself also looks very empty, I wanna see huge cities that are alive with people (NPC's). |

There is not unlimited sprint, there's stamina that you run out of. But then there' the mana to stamina spell everyone gets. But then there's the reagent you need to keep casting mana to stam (formerly resin), and you better carry a lot of it to get you all that way. But then there's the possibility of getting rolled by some bad guys while you're out for your jog.
Better off just using a mount like every other player who doesn't want to die is going to do. |

Say what!?
DF had the most beautiful hand made exotic locations I've ever seen in any mmo. Paired with breathtaking sunsets and awsome shadows.
Say what you want about DF graphics, but the environment has always been one of the big plus factors for DF.
PS: Here is an old video i made during a pve trip with friends. So i just filmed along when we were travelling thorugh the world:

What about huge cities alive with NPC's? I also don't like that the game is not really faction based, you make a clan of players. There are race alliances but all that is ignored isn't it? Favoring individual clans to take over regions and have influence. I enjoy race based faction wars, I know NPC's will react according to their alliance but it is not enough. I hope their will be clans that start who specifically want to further the influence of their alliance in the world and not betray them. I hope entire wars develop as clans in one racial alliance fight the clans of anothe racial alliance, then there would be a minority who are all rouge clans. |

@ racial wars: There are already clans that announced they will only accept certain races. Now, that the hotboxes are the same for every race it will be much easier for such clans, imo. It's totally upt ot he players and their RP now. No artificial factions or whatever. If you want to make a racist alfar clan with the main goal to extinguish all Orks , you can do it.

Don't clans of one alignment have alliances with each other? If it is all clan based then it seems like once you encounter another clan, even if you are of the same race alliance, then they might attack you.

Originally posted by Impeator101 There is no such thing like artificial race alliances in DF:UW. You may attack or befriend whoever you like.
Besides, men in rl attack each other too despite their race. ;)
Nr.1 rule for DF: If you encounter somebody in the wilderness, be wary. Be very wary. No matter what race he belongs too. It's part of the fun. (other than "This guy is a prick but i can't attack him since we belong to the same faction")

No artifical factions no forced alliances. You and your guild decide who is friend or foe or with which guild you create an alliance. This is freedome and this is sandbox because it is player created.
You will have some safe zone NPC cities (small) so not everything is chaotic and starters can learn the game and a place to trade... |

Darkfall is one of the most immersive gaming worlds that I've ever experienced and it has nothing to do with graphic quality. But rather because it's wide open, every inch can be explored and traversed. You aren't stuck on an artificial path, don't bump up against invisible walls every time you turn around. There are lots of beautifully crafted game worlds out there, but in my opinion none offer the immersion factor that a wide open explorable world offers.

For anyone who was apart of Shadowbane on this forum understands that this is the next best thing since SB ended. SB2 is never coming out. Ever...let's take a minute to soak that in...
ok
When I played in '09 during launch, DF was amazing then. With the game being bought out, and new systems being implemented, and old ones being changed, I think we are gonna really enjoy ourselves.
One thing in your subject that I can really relate to my worries.......will it be empty. I KNOW THIS ISN'T SHADOWBANE. However, as similar as DF is, I'm scared this game will get shut down. Just like the only and BEST mmo ever (besides the glitches) Shadowbane.

I dont think that video is accurate but I do think darkfall still has the biggest, seamless, non randomly generated gameworld in an mmo. towards the end of its life cycle darkfall's world WAS simply TOO big for its population. however thats not something we need to worry about for now. you can sprint constantly with food/stamina spell but riding is faster, plus there are ships and limited teleportation. there was plenty of variety between enviroments, each continent had a completely different biome/climate. and each racial land its own feel and slightly different biome (ie giant mushrooms only in alfar lands). you will not see cities full of npc's, maybe cities full of players tho ;). mmo cities never felt like real cities anyway, only assassin's creed ever really achieved crowed npc cities. |
