Honestly, it won't.

Like every expansion before this one, the company is hyping it with huge promises and such. By the time it is here the cool shit that we all want will be axed from it. Darkfall has potential, but Aventurine are god damn morons. For the past two years we've been screaming the same thing yet Adventurine keeps ignoring us: skill cap, less grind (I want to play the game, not meditate), fixed interface, and something to do other than killing the shit out of each other.

I'll watch the forums for a month after this comes out and hope for the best, but I'm not stupid. Adventurine is gonna blow it again.

"Wipe speculation: We addressed this, to the extent of our knowledge of the topic,"

"We’ll ask you to be patient a little longer until we give you all the facts on “Darkfall 2.0″ and we can have a discussion on a great number of topics, including this one."

So, its on the table but they want more time for the community to get familiar with what 2.0 is gonna be before bringing it up again for debate.

At least that's what it looks like to me.

Not much of an update.  I think they did a good job of telling people to wait and see what DF 2.0 has to offer before deciding that a wipe will be good or bad.  It will be interesting to see what they do with the two servers.  If they will meld the NA and EU servers together and just offer a 2.0 and the original, or if they plan to open a new server for each region.

Their new points on the wipe is merely to keep the carrot on the stick going. The fact that they have not given a definite answer means that they are still considering this option, and will likely bring it up when DF2.0 will be closer to release.

The problem is, because of this, players are unsure wether they should keep playing, or wait in case there's a wipe. Although thinking about it again, perhaps that's something AV intended. If players stop playing while waiting for a wipe, actually wiping the server would have a lesser impact than it would should players continue to play. Regardless, I still believe that wiping is one of the most stupid thing to do in an MMORPG that is all about world progression.

Bring two servers together again make as with launch one super europe server dont waste money on US server.

EU-1 and NA-1 Deleted.

New server:

EU-2

With more pve nomore meditation but instead less grind. 4LR for mahirim. Get rid of idiot towers. Solve all the bloody afk/macro/exploit shit so all legit players who dont cheat are on equal lvl. Bring race wars into game punish ARAC clans get rid of stupid zerg with all races in one alliance:(

Make the game as it was intended hardcore not softcore.

Better Crafting system where you can realy make everything ingame and even only crafted special gear by top crafters.

Dye armor, clan emblems.

Mahirim/Orks, Alfar, Humans/mirdain/Dwarfs thats how it should be.

My true wish make server all red no alignment no savezones like racecitys shit, bring back true politics ANTI vs RPK.

Housing and more destroyable buildings so we see more struggle to build town up again now we see clantowns been up sinds first months launch never went down.

But Darkfall 2.0 at least seems promising with new sounds new graphics and many other aspects of game.

I am the above persons bestest friend after what he said.

No need fir a df 2 just get rid of ARAC and put in territory control racial wars.

 How about we bring the servers together and drop the europe server, let's not waste money on the EU server.

New Server :

Na -2

 The rest of your post is spot on,  but if I remember correctly isn't the US server more populated than the EU one?

US in general have way better connections than most european players, makes sense to have 1 server in the EU.

aye..im on European server from greece and i have more than 125ms average... everything overseas for it would be around 400-500ms.. and if i remember correctly the average latency for a US player at EU server was about 200ms...?

Actually, we should place the server on south pole. This way everyone has equally shitty pings.

Problem solved!

well im in england and i got 20 ping to eu1 at my last house, but I would MUCH prefer just 1 server even if it was in the US. east coast server would be best imo.

How can you axe a smaller map when its almost done?  What about the new armors and models that are either done or almost done?  They going to axe that too?

I started with 120 and it would mostly jump at 180 ping. The game is not fun. You cant even melee and archery well. I dont want both Eu and na to be one or i will be forced to play as full mage again. Since i had 40 pings, i rerolled as a destroyer and i like that new play style that requires much more playerskills to masterd.

Fastest internet list netherlands where i come from, First KOREA.... 5th placeNetherlands(many other countrys in europe also have top 10 place in list).... US 17th place over all:P

Its EUROPEAN game so its fair if one server it should be EUROPE not US.

Darkfall... Epic... Same sentence... Brain officially fried.

A: (Elias) We’d love to and really pushing for that direction. We’re waiting to find out the impact this has on game performance, which is our number 1 concern.

I remember on offical forum around 2005 or 6 we discussed this alot about dyes our armor and clan emblems on armor, cloaks, now in 2011 they still concider this with arguement of lag issues:(

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...

I thought Darkfall was " feature complete " years ago? Why do they need to do a 2.0!?!?!?

Lol explain why there shouldnt be zergs? Zergs are a way to play the game, together they are strong, but they are equaly strong as a small highly trained unit. Theres nothing wrong with zergs, and i actualy like them becasue they help the low levels and bring more people to the game, if you truely knew how to play the game you could easily pick them off when they arnt with their guild.

No Safe zones?! realy? you think there should be no safe zones, so every single person who joins gets ganked till they quit the game? thats abserd. Same with no towers. there are some places you shouldnt get killed at to still make the game fun.
