The game is a grinder, but it is very group oriented. There are raids starting from level 20+. There are bots but they don't bother anyone. Its not a gank fest because the downside to ganking is KILLER. If you gank someone and you kill them, you turn red and anyone can attack you. Then if you die, anyone can loot items from your dead body. That only happens if you gank someone though.

If you have never played, I would give it a shot. They just added a new update that made it less of a grinder and more user friendly. I am the game correspondent and I wrote an article on the expansion here:

I currently love the state of the game. It's not perfect, but no MMO is. I have really enjoyed the playing since Gracia and I would recommened you playing :)

Me too! I really like the prizes :)

Hey guys! There's a new event starting after weekly maintanence on March 10th. Check it out!

Since I have an 8 page paper due in 11 hours, this will be short and sweet.

Earlier today I had great the experience. Running east towards the human starting areas, where I was planning on taking down some lower skilled players to gain their arrows and gold from goblins they would be farming, and in the silence of night I hear a "chop, chop, chop" to the northeast, way in the distance.

As usual, I head towards the sound of players, always looking for a kill to quench my thirst for blood. As I travel towards the direction of the sound, it gets louder... louder... and louder... I pull out my two hander and crouch, slowly approaching my prey. I use the cover of darkness to my advantage, moving from tree to tree, bush to bush, rock to rock, to ensure my prey does not notice my movements. Eventually I reach him: a naked orc logging a tree for lumber. I charge forward, but as I get close I notice he isn't even afraid of me or getting prepared for battle!

I get right in front of him and laugh, I know exactly what he is doing: farming lumber with a macro. I kill him quickly and take his loot. Quite a success and a great opportunity to supply my guild's crafters with quite the killing of crafting supplies.

 

Moral of the story? You can as of now macro in Darkfall, but because of FFA PvP, you're bound to get screwed in the end.

 

I'm glad you killed the afk macro'r. Macros are least of my concerns. From what I gather from factual sources are : dupes ,speedhacks and many other exploits are the real issues.

Nice job though on killing the euro afk bot though.

 

no dupes really just so ai issue with mobs not atacking people in the water but really some mobs cant swim anyways so really its not really to big of issue they jsut need to get rid of that small bug. hacks well all mmos have hacks including ffxi whitch they started banning for

Really
