I've been playing the Darkfall title for about a year now and I'm having a blast. It's created and run by a small indie company called Aventurine and it's years ahead of its time compared to the PVP/Combat in every other MMO out there.

 

 

-The game is full-loot open world FFA PvP so if you're fan of the adrenaline you get when pking back in the Runescape Wilderness, I seriously recommend trying this game out.

 

-Its combat is FPS-based so you have to aim all of your shots in order to hit an enemy which i've never seen in an MMO before. You can't just click or tab-target to lock onto somebody which adds an extra element of player-skill to the game.

 

-The map is territory/conquest controlled so alliances/clans can control physical cities on the map (not instanced like the ones in Runescape). Clans & Alliances are always sieging each other to try and take over cities and the politics involved are always fun to watch/be a part of. Here's a link to a picture of the Political map, it shows cities and what clan they're currently owned by: http://darkfallinfo.com/pmap2/map/index.php?mapserver=us1

 

-Player owned houses are also on the actual map! The player villages aren't instanced so if you want to buy a house you can choose which village on the map you want to live in and it'll say your name on it and everything.

 

-The game has naval combat which is really fun. You can sail boats, fire cannons, board enemy ships and everything it's intense.

If anybody here either already plays Darkfall or is interested in playing it hit me up!

I would just like to gravedig my own post and point out that the new Darkscape is based off of this game.

 

 

 

So... I was playing Darkscape before it was cool.
