Darkfall is considered to be the most revolutionary MMORPG that has been released so far. Although it is no ‘World of Warcraft Killer’, because it is actually much too advanced to appeal to the full World of Warcraft Audience.
What’s so advanced about it?
This are few traditional ‘MMO limitations’ placed on the Darkfall Online game world.
For example:
The first one, You can easily form temporary cross-clan alliances to achieve objectives or just be more powerful
The second one, You are able to fight on both land AND sea
The third one, You can steal other people’s mounts
The fourth one, Cities can be built and attacked (you can lose your clan’s base of operations)
The fifth one, You can learn and use every trade skill to maximum ability
The sixth one, darkfall combat uses a 3D ‘first person shooter’ style engine that requires line of site, and gives you the potential to accidentally harm your allies or accidentally benefit your foes.
The seventh one, There are no real ‘levels’ to character advancement, but skills, skill trees, etc. This means that a players individual skill is much more important than spending hours grinding the same monsters over and over.
Revolutionary indeed, Darkfall Online is known to appeal to a lot of MMO players whom are tired of level based systems, and systems where playing skill isn’t as important as gear and level. However, not all traditional MMO players are ready for such bounds. DarkFall Online isn’t for everyone. If you enjoy BOTH first person shooters AND MMO style games, then Darkfall Online might be just what you have been looking for.
