With last week's announcement that Darkfall: Unholy Wars would be arriving in November, a lot of excitement was generated here and around the web. We managed to Aventurine General Manager Tasos Flambouras to talk about Darkfall: Unholy Wars. See what we discovered before leaving your thoughts in the comments.

MMORPG.com: You mentioned working with the community on Unholy Wars, how much impact do they have on the design of the game?

Tasos Flambouras: As I mentioned, we took great consideration of the community’s suggestions for Darkfall Unholy Wars, and listened to the problems they had with the old game. Our new GUI and the roles system we implemented were heavily influenced by our community’s remarks, and we will continue listening to them, not only throughout the final stretch before the launch of Darkfall Unholy Wars, but especially after the launch.

Believe it or not, there are a lot of folks, even here, who know very little about Darkfall or Unholy Wars.  We're just beginning coverage of this one folks, so hang in there.  

Well please continue to give it exposure as DF is a great game and the more people that know about it the better for us all in the long run. 

Not really anything new but it is always nice to see Darkfall/indie game related articles getting put out so good work on that.

Great news. Hopefully they start showing us some gameplay footage soon. I was a Darkfall vet and left some time ago due to the Devs lack of support and lack of ability to ever even come close to  hitting there goals/deadlines.

I will be there on day one as long as they can visually show me that this game has changed and is now ready for primetime.

The basic gist here is that they finally realized the old Darkfall was broken and not really fixable so now they are going to make everyone that plays this game start over in a new game with updated graphics and  a new skill system.  

Let us hope they have learned from their mistakes.  Have to give them credit though, they are still in business while many other games have faded away.

For those of you who spent months/years macroing skills up, get ready to do it again.

I'm still not sold on this new role system they are putting in. It seems like you will be limited to a certain type of skill for whatever role you're currently in. I.E. If you choose a major role, then you will only be able to use mage skills.. What if I wanted to be a mage that is also a blacksmith? Is this possible? I don't really know or understand.. but it seems like I wouldn't be able to from what I have read.

Interesting you should mention that actually. For some reason a few of us got to talking about mmos in map chat (GW2) a couple of nights ago (instigated by the usual "but WoW.." comment).

Long story short, outside of the major hyped mmos and/or WoW (SWTOR/GW2), not all that many really knew about other mmos or what other mmos were coming up for release. Although a few did know about EVE through reputation.

For all the talk about popularity/fails/sub numbers that we get on this site and others like it, it just goes to show that really, there is a massive amount of gamers out there who simply don't know about what's on offer.

fair enough .. hope to see more soon :)

I think journalists need to really start to take a look at how to make their craft "pop" more, this article seemed to be a waste of space and words maybe it was my lack of immersion in the orignal Darkfall but nothing said in this article gave me a sense that I would want to play this game especially when considered against the information about the original DF.

Is this new game supposed to recapture the feeling that this is a true sandbox and not just some FFA PVP?!?!

What exactly is different in this game from the original DF?  Maybe it isn't the interviewers fault because Tasos seemed to dance around giving a clear answer that conveyed what this game is about.
