People have been waiting to hear more out of Adventurine SA (formerly Razorwax AS). Today we have it as Tasos Flabouras goes in-depth on their upcoming MMORPG Darkfall, known for its PvP-bent.

MMORPG.com: For those who do enjoy PvP, can you explain the reasons why PvP in Darkfall will be something new and exciting for them?

Tasos Flambouras: More than any other game before it, Darkfall brings the fantasy battlefield to blood-splattering, neck-chopping life:

Spell explosions blow you away from the battle line with kinetic force; blood splatters on your armor as the ditch-bound head of a decapitated foe rolls past; smoke from fireball bursts reduce vision temporarily until the wind carries it away; warhorses kick savagely and opponents physically block your progress as you race to execute a wound-stunned enemy before their healers get to him; thundering hooves signal victory as your cavalry arrives just in time to turn the tide of battle.

MMOG combat has tended towards the boringly static, with players deducting hit points from each other while micromanaging their characters. In Darkfall, however, combat is as unpredictable, visceral, action-packed and intense as medieval fantasy combat can be.  

You can read his whole interview here.

Initially i was put off by the clunky looking graphics and basic looking low poly environment... but after reading the artical i'll be keeping a close eye on this one.

My only concern with the skill system is that although it offers freedom, as soon as players discover the most effective skills and combinations (which won't take long for a hardcore pvp gamer), there will be one or two cookie cutter builds that own all and everyone will follow them.

Not if you have around 500 different skills to chose from imo..
At least that is the amount the devs have been mentioning.

IF this game delivers what the developers promise it will be absolutely amazing.  I am kind of skeptical but I think they might actually pull it off.  Time will tell I guess.  They certainly have alot of great ideas.  I just hope it does not turn into another Mourning which was nothing but alot of big empty promises.  Thankfully I never wasted my money on Mourning.

I have been watching this game and hope that it will be what Shadowbane should have been. We shall see. The interview was filled with a lot of developer speak and the game has been delayed a long time. However, unlike a lot of other games, this one seems to have the combination of features that I have been looking for...

Definitely. If this game delivers 90% of what it promises it will be the best fantasy MMORPG out there. I guess that the long development cycle is probably a good sign too that they're putting the work in to get it right rather than just rushing it out the door and hoping for the best.

I am just to lazy at this point to pull up an old dev interview that just emphises exactly what has just been said. When I see it I will put my foot in my mouth. Till then, it's vaporware. Nothing said here is new from the past 3 years of the same Q&A's done over and over and over and over.

I hope that this game proves me wrong and for once I will be wrong about a title, but this title has followed to closly to others with the same history , it's hard to get past it.

Please devs, make me eat my words and suprise me and the rest of the doubters and bring this game out as you said it would be 3 years ago.

Been watching the game for 5 years now.. This is by far going to be the best Pvp/mmorpg game ever made.

This game is going to put other so called mmorpg's to shame.
