Darkfall RoA August Release??

Is anyone else looking forward to the release of Darkfall: Rise of Agon on steam? Ive asked the developers when they think it could be released and they said the end of August. Is anyone else eagerly waiting for this game to launch or is it just going to die again?

In case there is a strong interest in this game, I created a fan forum and made it live at https://www.darkfallroa.com. Im hoping people will use it to start organizing their clans and such...

Anyone going to try Abyss Online? Early Access is April 18th, 2024

Per steam store https://store.steampowered.com/app/2493960/Abyss/ will start early access in few days. The dev claim this is a DF inspired combat.

I have low expectations and no way it will substitute the itch for Darkfall.

In reality DF is not coming back anytime soon so this is maybe the next best thing? Anyone played the Alpha?

I wish we knew we were in the good old days

Before we left them… Darkfall was the only game I’ve ever played that successfully recreated that “first MMO” feeling that people always chase. It’s crazy to think it’s been almost 11 years since DFO shut down. Every so often I randomly think about it and feel deeply nostalgic and bittersweet. I feel like an old man who wants to just tell stories about this amazing old game I got to experience to anyone who will listen.

So I’d love to hear some stories or memories everyone else has if you too are like me and like to reminisce on this old game.

For me I loved getting to take part of the TM vs CotC sieges that had 1000+ people and the trick to disable your sound card to make it remotely playable.

And I loved the pure adrenaline, racing heart and shaky hands I would get trying to run away with a bag full of loot.

Or how I had post it notes on my monitor bezel to perfectly line up my water begones. Nothing more embarrassing than screwing that up and flying backwards into the people chasing you.

And somehow becoming friends with Keith Johnson and joining SGS. Playing with them every day (Will, Blue Poo, Keith, Ogresk, Meg and everyone else) was some of the most fun I have had in gaming. I was nowhere near as good as them and I’ll never know why they took me in but I am glad I have all those memories.

Anyway I’d love to hear some other stories, memories or general reminiscing. Or even if people have found games that somewhat fill that void.

Darkfall or Unholy Wars files request

I am not looking to really play the game again or make a server or start anything. I saw a year or two ago (possibly longer) that there was a way to "play" darkfall by yourself and go through the world. Does anyone have the files for darkfall to do this? I've never heard of any such thing for UW, which is unfortunate.

What's everyone been playing since Darkfall? I definitely don't have the same amount of time as I had in 2009 and the years I played. Currently trying out Dark and Darker for my PvP fix and Star Citizen (when it works). I tried Mortal Online 2 for a bit but it was barren of content. The actual gameplay wasn't that bad but there was nothing to do. Before that I was playing Gloria Victis, but it's shutting down.

Looking for Darkfall players named Andrew 👀

Hi, I'm Andrew. If you played DFUW you might know me as Teriya LoD. I founded a non-profit organization dedicated to uplifting the Drewish Community, and I'm looking for Andrews who played Darkfall. Idk how feasible it is, but I've found two so far via YouTube. One guy was in Defiance and another was in Ironwrath.

If you know how to get in contact with Andrews, I'd be much obliged 🇱🇨

The new darkfall

Mortal online 2, check it out if you haven't already!!! It's a full loot pvp sandbox game with beautiful graphics. Directed melee, with directional blocking to counter melee, magic, pets, bounty hunting, soon to be territory control!!! Shits wild now, used to be kinda cruddy, but they got their shit together and now it's the most fun I've had in a game. More so than darkfall!!!

Are there no razorwax type stuff going on out there?

Are there no razorwax type stuff going on out there?

I check this reddit maybe 2 times a year or something, only ever see crappy links to crappy titles cus there's nothing else. survival this, ubisoft this, whateverthis you don't even need to click to know it's going to suck.

I google for claus sometimes but looks like his sensiga gone dead, need a new young claus.
And I guess if it ever comes I might aswell roll with old timers. and all of us will be slow and shit.

Pvp for the people by the people, would it work?

So out of curiosity do you think a game could function with a 100% volunteer group making a game from scratch where 100% of the profits are reinvested back into the game?

Dune: Awakening

I'm pinning a lot of my hopes on Dark and Darker filling some of the hole I've had since UW went offline, but I thought I'd bring Dune: Awakening to your attention as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixq-y_r-lkE

The developers (Funcom, see: Anarchy Online, Age of Conan, Conan: Exiles) have been tight lipped on how the game is going to work. But we do know that it was originally envisioned as a more expansive Sandbox Survival experience than Conan: Exiles, drawing from Funcom's MMO experience. They started developing the game in 2019, and were thereafter purchased for a hundred and fifty million dollars by Tencent and have morphed the game into a full "Game as a service" survival MMO, with Funcom and two support studios working on the game full time.

My hope is that this will end up being like New World pre-carebear... in other words, a true MMO and a full loot survival game experience mixed into one. I'm holding my expectations in reserve, however, until the core PvP/Full Loot experience is actually confirmed by the devs.

Dark(fall) and Darker

Just sharing for those of you who are looking for the full loot fantasy first person fix.

Escape from Darkov in a small dungeon diving scenario. Full loot, persistent progression and inventory. 16 man lobbies, queue up with groups of 1-3. Recently hit alpha, doing once a month public alpha tests. Next one is October 28th. Designed by an indie team of Korean game developers allegedly fed-up with over monetization and loot boxes from eastern games, very little is publicly available about the developers.

DFUW Old Classsystem

Am i the only one who liked Dfuw more when it was classbased? I actually „felt“ special playing as a mage and having my specific role! It all got so blurry and repetetiv when everyone used the same „best“ builds.

Darkfall New Dawn revival

Is it possible to bring this back? This was the only version of darkfall that was taken seriously. They did a very good job at making the game what it was supposed to be with racial wars and character customization.

The company was forced to liquidate bc the owner abandoned the game and company and decides to not pay taxes. He has ghosted the community. So my question is would it theoretically be possible to buy their assets from the liquidation and revive the project?
