The North American launch of Darkfall is scheduled for today. Until now, Darkfall has only maintained a European server, but if all goes well today, those of us on this side of the pond may have a server of our own to call home.

Those who are interested might want to keep an eye on the official NA Darkfall website.

How excited are you for Darkfall's NA launch? Let us know in the comments!

I did not expect to see this today on the news feed!? Kinda snuck up on me and bit me in the butt.

Why is that?

Makes the newer car/newer computer question even harder for me.  I only have enough $ for one.

Sadly most NA players arent going to be able to play on the new NA server unless they want to shell out an additional 50 bucks for the game.

Many of us already bought the game when AV assured us that we would be taken care of at launch. Currently their idea of taking care of you is to ask you to repurchase the game.

Sadly this has already hurt the population of the game

Payed for the game was told we could transfer to the NA servers when they came out, then they say we had to rebuy the darn game.. screw that.

The sieges sucked mega nuts anyhow, every clan just walked up to the walls and launched over.. waste of time. Good field battles though.

Worst grind ive ever found in a game, including the cheap f2p games. some of the worst cheating and exploiting  ive seen in a mmog.

 I was waiting on the game to release but over the months totally forgot about it. So seeing it going live today surprised me =).

What?  They are not transfering all US players to These servers for free?  Than can Not be right.  Hang tight and they might transfer you for free instead of having empty equipt sitting there empty.  How crowded are the servers right now?  I did not buy game because of everyones input, thanks very much everyone for your reviews of game, its very helpful.   By the way,  is Darkfall good?  Is it worth checking out if you hated the the experience of AOC spawn camping/ganking, greifing?  I like the idea of PVP and getting ganked if ya wander into an area thats allowed dangerous but allowing griefers to run to the same spawn spot and gank you over and over when respawning virually allowed no available time to get away.  If they spawned you to safe place to let you decide weather or not to reenter same dangerous zone would be OK .   Maybe its all changed,   But they should transfer American server players to these servers for Free.  Maybe its a last ditch attempt to generate cash however possible.

Well, this is what every other MMO developer does too so I'm not sure why you are surprised about it.

Did the game not tell customers NA players could transfer their characters when they have the servers established in NA?  I honestly do not know and just going on what I read, so if Not then you are right.

Typical Aventurine, promised a free transfer, then backed out of it.  Can't trust them to keep any promises.  As to the cheating and exploiting, it is still prolific, soon as they patch one exploit, players find 3 more. 

Aventurine has to be up there for one of the worst MMO companies in the genre.

what they did is said you could have 1 character PER SERVER

then they switched it after reeling people into the game by saying 1 character PER ACCOUNT

then they fubared the NA players by saying they would have to pay to transfer in 3 months.... for a cost that is almost equal to buying the game new... when buying the game new gets you a free month to play.

of course a few of the fan-bots will come in and try to twist it... but thats the lowdown.

i refuse to buy the game based on the company running it, not the condition of the game.

You can transfer you character for free, but after three months. The new server need some time to grow up before we need some über characters from another server there.

Kinnda what every server should have.

They never said it would be free. The problem here is not Aventurine, it's people like you who do not read what is said.

Back on topic, how is the NA release going? Seems like the opposite of the horribad EU launch this time, nothing but happy gamers.

Accually it was on the closed beta forums and on the main forums. So it people like you that dont even play the game that allow companies to pull this type of switch on its player base.

Again, i choose with my wallet. and the wallet is god.

"Players in North America are welcome to participate in the European Launch. The plans for US servers aren’t finalized at the time of this announcement. We will offer the option for character migration to US servers for N. American players who wish to use it. We have had people playing without problem from all over the US and Canada. That being said, our servers are located in Germany and distance does affect ping-time."
------
"Our first release is the European release. The North American release will follow as soon as possible but not until a few months later. We’re allowing players from N. America to participate in the European release due to this fact. Of course we’ll make some allowances for these players if they would like to move to the US server when it launches."
------
"They're right after the European servers, but not soon enough for a lot of players to wait. We don't have a solid date to announce on a N. American server and that's why we're allowing N. American players the option to play on the European server. Ideally we would have loved to be able to launch world-wide but we just don't have the resources to do it right."

Now try reading carefully. Nowhere does it say free.

Don't go blaming the company just because you have a problem with reading.

Already wasted my money supporting the exploiters on the EU beta test server. I see zero additional value from an NA server so not sinking more money into it. If I was going to revisit DF I would just reopen my EU account.

Going to give Mortal Online a try now - at least they call it what it is - a pay for beta.

From all the horror stories I have heard of the company and cheating/exploits...i think I will wait to try it out...about 6 months sounds about right for them to come out with a free trial once this NA server is live....if anyone has other "positive" imput before then I'd be happy to listen to it though...but i'm far from trusting...with titles like DNL, Roma Victor and others under my belt.

What does that tell you?  A project team armed with $12m is unable to honor a promiste by providing a server?  And the game they provide is just a turd, which could never cost $12m to develop.

Where are the money?  They lack money?  Or they embezzled it?
