I bought and downloaded it yesterday.

I like it. That is all.

What are some of the things that you like about it? I always like to hear these first day reviews about MMOs. Very entertaining stuff.

I'm interested in playing this game.

Where are you playing from?

I'm from Australia and I'm really curious to know which servers will give me the best connection, especially considering that the combat is pretty full on in Darkfall.

Has anyone else tried playing from Australia?

And how do you actually download the client?

I went to www.darkfallonline.com and tried to get the client, but when I go to 'Buy Darkfall', it just asks me to subscribe. Can I only download the client after I've paid for my first months subscription? How much does the client cost? Or is the client free? It doesn't make sense at that site.

The World looks fantastic especially when i run it on high graphics. Fighting is like playing CoD4 with an axe or sword and i play a lot of CoD4. This is deffinitely a pvp game and you will get ganked and die a lot. But thats part of the fun. The first day alone i was ganked 6 times. Half the time they didnt take my stuff bc it was so crappy. Fighting in general is just fun to me. Youll also need to find a clan as soon as possible bc darkfall is a harsh world. The newbie zones do get raided so work on that sprint skill :) A guy ganked me early yesterday and took all my stuff. later that day my clan leader decided to raid a small clan house, guess who was there? needless to say, his sprint skill was higher...its a smaller world than you think. Theres a lot of crafting involved from what ive seen, at the moment im just gathering materials for one big craft fest at the end of the week. Im eager to get back in and see what i can discover today.

I just started on the NA server and the buy button is on the right side of the website. And yes you can only play after youve bought the game. your first month is free and it costs $50 for the game and 14.99 a month.

Is it just me or does this sound more like an advertise then some review? Look at the details. Its like a diary of a 10 year old.

But if purpose was advertisment then,, COD4=fastpaced, Ganking=Sadists, harsh world=explorer/?

then theres some random crafting sentence... which ofc talks about the crafting system and lastly its the "Cant wait to get back" sentance

then ofc is the "buy it here sign.

Its the DF community trademarks made by a newly created acount.

Hilarious?!

Tasos, is that you?

Read it again...The 1st sentence is an opinion the rest is fact until the end. (And not very good selling point facts by the way)

The end is an advertisment.

This is why  PapaB34R is your boss...

The OP was answering this guys question about if you have to buy the game before downloading it. Although it was weirdly typed and suspicious. He [The OP] could just not be the greatest writer in the world. So ease the hell off.

i had just woken up. jesus people. i wasnt looking to write for the pulitzer. I was answering the two posts below me. If they had not asked a question i would not have answered. If you would like to find me in game (NA server) my name is Ghost Chant. Come gank me, steal my shir,t or help me kill some goblins.

and so the DF pitbulls move in... even more hilarious for anyone to defend this thread. As for the OP well I decided that he might be mentally challenged so I better not trash on him, but the ones who think this is a normal thread like everyone wouldve typed it, yes you are, or must be socialy handicaped.

This isnt just an opinion, more of an arguement or a diary or something. No its like a drafting article, is AV really having that few people playing that Tasos spams the forums why you should join his fairy little world that is "not as big as you might think"

To the OP: This is not meant to be some kinda personal harrasment I just ask that perhaps your parents can help you edit your following threads and posts, also reading it after typing it is also good.

Sure Ill play, as soon as AV decides to do what they said they would, and take care of me at launch of the NA server... which...they havent.

Forcing the NA players to rebuy the game, after they told everyone they would be taken care of is a game breaker for me. Let NA players on EU server start from scratch, or enjoy losing a few thousand subs.

Worst company ever.

Basically thats what the first post was, a drafting article. Thats pretty much how ive written all of my papers or essays. I write short main ideas in an outline sort of way then rewrite, forming complete sentences. That however has nothing to do with the game. Im not here to impress anyone. i was posting an opinion on a game. If you would like, i can tell you what is bad about the game.

*clapclap* Nice read. I think you hit the nail on the head here.

Not a personal attack but most DF posts tend to come out this way (atleast those in favor of).

Hey, look on the bright side, guys. It works just as good as a "reasons to hate Darkfall" post.

It helps to know the lingo. First, "hardcore PvP" means "We invite shooter players to come into our world and take over. RPG is the new FPS!" 

All we need now is for "frag" to become a part of the MMO lingo, and my heart will be truly broken.

yeah god forbid we appeal to a different audience.  Alienating ourselves is the only way to keep things fresh and new. We should just go back to pen and paper.

The only people who have been alienated have been the RPG players, and it's the developers that have been doing it. Back when UO was first announced, guess who it was marketed to? Ultima was and is still considered among the hardest core Computer RPGs. The game was built around the idea of making a character and letting it live in the world of Brittania. Death by another player in PvP combat was just one of the many risks. PvP as a feature was just that, a feature among many other features that made the game what it was. Now, PvP is the raison d'etre of MMORPGs, and Darkfall is the very epitome of that. Log in and killkillkill! Forget virtually living another life. Forget story, whether player created or as part of the game's overall lore. Forget everything. Just gear up and enter the fray. Just like Darkfall.

Given the choice, I'd much rather go back to PnP. At least in a d20 session, I can be reasonably sure that the people I'm playing with have respect for the game. Not to mention an above average intellect. That was one of the beauties of PnP. You kinda had to be smart to get into it. With MMORPGs, they let any idiot with a credit card in.

howdy
