so Darkfall, after being slated for release in 2003, finally has a release date set: January 22nd, 2009 in the EU
now I'm not trying to hype it too much after the massive flop that WAR was, but damn, **** looks sweet
http://darkfallonline.comquick list of features:
- MMORPG that is not like generic WoW style gameplay; instead, it's a first player hack/slash Oblivion-esque combat style MMO
- 6 races, but alliances only matter for NPCs and you can join a clan/guild with anyone you want; but if you're a human and you kill a bunch of other humans then you can't enter human/dorf/high elf cities
- no such thing as classes - you can do whatever the hell you want. dwarven archer with unholy magic? awwwrite.
- clans can literally build their own bases - wanna be a pirate and sail up and down rivers ransacking others? no problem. wanna build a mountain base, or a base in the middle of the desert? sure.
- also AI that doesn't suck
- and if you happen to be a furry you even get your own special race
so discuss
