Re: Who has the game?
I have pre-ordered it but with the problems of the account system my credit card details didn't fully get to the server thus I wasn't charged. They are going to fix my account in about 12h.
Im going to play Darkfall on Free Crops clan that is part of the Savage Alliance. We're going to move to NA server once the time comes. I was just accepted as full member aka Citizen there.
See you guys ingame!|TG| Kebab-Kastike reporting for duty. | Why? Tubes! The internet is tubes!

Re: Who has the game?
I'm trying to get it, I've successfully registered and entered billing info. They are having some serious server issues right now. I plan on downloading it as soon as I am able to, with the intention of playing on EU servers until I can switch to an NA one.

Re: Who has the game?
I didn't get to play the beta but it's supposed to have, unrestricted PVP, full loot ,character progression in the form of skills rather than leveling, real-time combat, friendly fire always on, and player built cities, to name a few.

So, Kebab, I know you have it, what are your first impressions?

Re: Who has the game?
I don't
They tried to fix it two times in a row and then sent me e-mail that they cannot activate it with my account. They asked me to contact my credit card company. I tried to call my bank but they had closed their customer service lines ONE MINUTE before I called. I sent them an e-mail from my account instead asking them to remove Aventurine from their "****list".
I cancelled my pre-order and decided to wait for normal copy - hopefully with paypal as option.
I don't think there is anything that hasn't done before in some MMO. It's said to be Ultima Online of today.
Full loot = When you die the guy who killed you can take all our stuff. All of it. You spawn naked with your starting weapons (that are bad). Keep extra gear in your bank vault that cannot be looted by anyone except you.
No invisibility - when you are sneaking you have to use shadows, rocks and trees as your cover. Sneaking will only make you walk quietly.
No levels. You get your skills up.
No classes, you can do anything with any character. Yes, mage and warrior in same pack - why not. Wearing armour makes your spells less effective and takes longer to cast - ceparate skill so it's balanced - while wearing robes give your spells maximum effectiveness and cast time takes less time.
First person. You aim your arrows and spells. Melee takes your to third person - you still have to aim your hits.
You can craft all the items that can be found in the world.
Clan cities / towns that can be sieged and captured.
Ships from small rowboats to 50 gun warhulks - player steering it and players manning the cannons.
Mounts that can die and that can be stolen. Mounted combat.

Re: Who has the game?
Alright gentlemen. I managed to buy this game about 8 hours ago. I didn't play much, just 10 or so minutes walking around the starting area. The game doesn't look bad at all once you get ingame, it looks pretty good actually.
If you meet guy named Kebab-Bloodmaw, that's me.
Im patching right now and going to play for about 2 hours. I'll come back and tell you guys how it was. I'll try to bring screenshots aswell.
First impressions: In-game menu takes a lot of getting used to. Not because it would be too unpractical or something, but because it's unlike I have seen before. You right mouse click and you can move all the health bars and chat bars around the screen, just the way you like them.
All clans have their own little pages and forums BUILD IN THE GAME!
The clan pages load a bit slow. Remember the dial-up times? Yep, kinda like that.
I ran for 10 seconds and I got my first skill level up, run skill increased.

Re: Who has the game?
First of all I would have more screenshots but it seems that wegame isn't familiar with Darkfall - or they just don't like eachother.
First I wanted to regroup with my clan and alliance mates at city our alliance clan owns (which we use as home because all clan stones were taken when we got enough money).
I walked around and I was scared. The world around you is really scary when you know you could lose all your stuff if you get ambushed. Though, I didn't carry anything but my starter weapon, wich you can't lose. Take a look at the screenshot (printscreen and photoshop paste). You can see players from pretty far away, try to spot the guy Im looking at.
For I was walking around naked, people didn't take much interest in killing me, unlike in other MMOs with PvP enabled.
Somewhere around 1/4 of my way to our friends city I ran into first mob. I tried my luck with them just to find out how noob my character still is. I managed to take about 2/10th of Gnoll Hunter health before I died.
I rezd back in the starter town. I couldn't figure out how to rest (later that day I found out that you are suppose to equip the skill (which I did) and to use it press left mousebutton.
Anyway from the spawn stone I quickly saw the goblin spawn area. There was about 10 people waiting for them to spawn and killing them. I joined the action and quickly aquired myself chest and arm armour + arrows and weapons. I had a lot of stuff in me and I though to myself that I'd probably should run the 100 or so meters to the city to bank them, which I didn't.
Well about three minutes after I had thought that I noticed that there was player attacking me. I wondered why his name is still blue even he is hitting me (If you hit your alliance race you go grey - you are free kill). I had tried hard to not go rogue but it seems that I had somewhere during the action. With my noobish skills and noob weapon I managed to kill the fully geared guy and run away until the 5 or so guys that were chasing me finally got me with an arrow. I had a laugh. Good thing to remember when you go grey - run, you are free kill and everyone wants your loot.
I started doing some quests for easy money after that. In the hour I killed goblins for quests and sold the stuff I got from them I made 216 peaces of gold.
Don't worry about losing your starter gear. When I killed the goblins I got 5 chest armour and lots of weapons and potions. Just keep spare armour in your bank, and bank when you got stuff you don't want to lose.
I had fun - this was the first time I REALLY played this game.
There's my first impressions.|TG| Kebab-Kastike reporting for duty. | Why? Tubes! The internet is tubes!

Re: Who has the game?
When they do give people chances to buy the game, where do you even purchase it? I have it downloaded, but I have no idea where I am supposed to even purchase it, lol.
I believe you are looking at a person to the right of rocks and in-between the trees?

Re: Who has the game?
Mahirim, as seen in the screenshot

The game can be bought from: https://www.darkfallonline.com/accounts/f/default.php?pname=Homepage
Check http://forums.darkfallonline.com/forumdisplay.php?f=29 for updates. They open up sales every weekday (not weekends) 7pm GMT.
The copies sold out are limited because they only have one server up at the moment and it can only hold so many people.
Hehe, the screenshot was resized bit too much so it's blurry but yeah the person is the blurry blob right hand side of the tree that is on the right side of the rocks.
Today before my internet connection went down I was killing badguys with clan mates. It was good fun. I also noticed how valuable the parry skill is. While I blocked my clanmate hit the mob in it's back. When the mob got tired of hitting the guy who is not attacking him and turned it's back to me to hit my clan mate, my clan mate started blocking and I started hitting the bad guy in the back.
We also chaced naked elf chick with full armour down in mob bit. She drowned in the underground lake and we almost got killed by the mob and the wierd lizard living in the lake.
It was really fun. I don't remember having that much fun in MMO before.
My clanmate also crafted me a mount - the cool Alfair dragon mount. I didn't get to ride it much because my connection went down again because my internet provider thought it'd be good time for updates.

Taken from the friendly clan city. Note - this laptop Im using (because my own computer doesn't support SSE2 and the better computer is occupied most of the time) is running the game with rather minimal settings.

The city was under attack by Alfair, that's me running to aid in battle with my brand spanking new branded armour my clanmate made.Last edited by Kebab-Kastike; 03-13-2009 at 03:12 AM.
