the only thing that made me laugh out of that youtube was the following comment exchange:

NRA as in National Recovery Act, not the National Rifle Association. Sheesh. Don't they teach history in the schools any more?

sorry no they dont, the history teachers decided to drop the course that thought what the NRA at the beginning of the Marx Brother movies meant...

Haha, thanks. Only 3.5 years? Our guild has been waiting for Darkfall for 5 years. The sad thing is, there haven't been any MMO games worthy of us during that entire time. With the exception of EVE every MMO out right now makes me want to pluck my eyes out with a toothpick.

Thanks gymir!

Warcry reports an update from the Devs explaining features in the video:

That download is getting a little slow. If it is slow for you try FileFront:

Cool little blurb about DF at Bakatron:

And some new screenshots showing off the inventory and paperdoll:

There are no instances in Darkfall. Everyone plays together everywhere. There may be times when you are alone though, like when you enter the final boss room in a dungeon and the door slams shut behind you locking your party in until you either kill the mob boss or you're all dead. There may also be some short load times into basements and caves, etc...

The only restriction on raiding is your willingness to do it. Raiding is going to be pretty common among racial enemies and probably not so much against your own race and allied races, neighboring clans etc... All depends though, how we play in it is up to us.

A fan did a great job on compiling stuff for a new DF video.

Double thread! YEah, it was a good one.

I'm hoping strafing isn't bad in DF otherwise I'm gonna get owned.

Instead of asking why the Darkfall devs spent time putting in naval ships and combat, I keep asking why haven't other games done this?

I mean, WTF??? This is basic stuff that has been in MMO's since Ultima Online in 1997. Granted, it wasn't as well developed, but why have MMO's gone BACKWARDS with features?

I'll tell you one of the reasons I've heard from developers why they don't put in too many features. They have said they don't want games to be too "complex" for the average user.

Given our target audience, we knew we would have to create a less complex environment than you might find in a "typical" MMOG.

Cool new Dwarven lore and info:

Guys, don't even respond to these anti-DF trolls. Talk about negativity. People who focus on negativity in their lives draw you into their own negative reality. I'm a positive person. I don't go to the other MMORPG forums and bash their carebear games in development. I'm positive that one day we'll have a great PvP MMORPG to play. Right now, Darkfall is our greatest hope. And there's nothing wrong with believing or hoping for something... even if it is just an idea. We all wouldn't even be using computers if no one believed in ideas.

Age of Conan and Warhammer are not open-ended pvp games. Conan is a single player game with online content for an end game and warhammer seems a lot like doac or wow to me. Neither game offers the kind of game play I am looking for. If I were interested in either of those games I would still be enjoying wow or looking to play a game like vanguard or whatever they are calling ROT now.
No Thanks, I'll wait for Darkfall.

Mhorham echoes my sentiments precisely. And you don't see DF fans trolling the Conan and Warhammer forums do you? You know why? Because we don't need to.

I loved it when the trolls from Dragon Empires, Wish, Mourning, and Dark and Light came here whining about the same thing.

I agree, Timber is now the official #1 Darkfall fanboi. Congrats mate!

Yoda, I can't tell you how much the screenshots just don't do this game justice. The videos help a little bit. Here's the deathpig video on You Tube that shows the shadowing a bit better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46j3ih9x5Xk

Haha, Timber, thanks for posting the link to the update here. Obviously, you're following Darkfall. So thanks again for the support!

Beta signup was announced Oct. 2005. Signup implies actual beta is just around the corner.Suppose a company announces a job opening in Oct. 2005 and you apply for it. Ten months later you still haven't heard if you've been accepted, so you call the HR director. He tells you "oh that's right, we posted an opening for that job in October of 2005, however we don't intend to actually hire someone until Jan. 2008." Wouldn't you think that was a little kooky?

It was just a clan beta registration. I hope you learned your lesson. Don't read into too much.

You're not applying for a job. You are begging to be let in to play a kick ass game for free.

Sorry, but you're going to have to wait until the devs decide it is time to have it played by the general community.
