Well...
I'm pretty sure im getting rid of World of Warcraft soon, especially if this game comes out.
The game is PVP based, and its an MMORPG, but its not your standard "Massive Multi-Player Online Role-Playing Game." This game is also and FPS. It has twitch based combat. and The game play and the features are awesome. If some people are interested we could perhaps start a Divison or something. I would love to play with my old buds, I try to keep in contact with Runis, Jack, Dave, and James, and quins (You never talk to me back).

A little more information about the game.
Features
- Twitch Based Combat
Enjoy the smooth and flowing gameplay, the fast paced action, and the highly responsive controls. You can forget about point - click - and wait: In Darkfall, the action is real-time and your character feels like an extension of yourself.
You don’t have to spend endless hours playing in order to enjoy yourself, or to become successful. Even if you only play in small doses, your character can be effective within his chosen field, and a lot of fun to play. Whether you’re looking for intense involvement or just casual fun without a huge time investment, Darkfall accommodates your playing style.
In Darkfall, there’s much more to character development than, say, raising your riding or mining skill by mindlessly killing rats all day. Instead, you'll need to practice your skills if you want to get better at them. Darkfall’s skill based system makes sense, and it saves you from having to waste your playing time leveling.
You will never have to re-roll your character again. With Darkfall’s flexible character development system, your character simply adapts to the choices you make for him. We give you hundreds of skills to learn and master, and around a hundred Prestige classes to further specialize in.
You have the freedom to follow the rules, or to break them and face the consequences. Darkfall’s Alignment system is hard but fair.
Multiple safeguards protect you from cheats and exploits that would otherwise interfere with your gaming experience.
Thats right. There are no Level grinding in this game. It uses a Ultima Online Type of skill based system. With over 500+ skills to choose from.
For the Casual Players.
Question
Do I need to spend half my life playing this game to be any good?
Playing a lot will help you develop a stronger character, it will help you to improve your character handling skills, and it will familiarize you better with the world and the way it works. However, this game is not all about individual skill, and there will be a skill cap so characters can develop up to a point. There are many elements that come into play in Darkfall, and a casual player can have as much fun playing the game, and possibly be more successful than a hard core gamer, in some fields.
Do I need to be a twitchy gamer to be good?
Skill does come into play in combat, but so does intelligence, strategy, group tactics, preparation, equipment, conditions etc. There are many elements that will affect the outcome of a confrontation.
What camera view is used in Darkfall?
More on this soon
Can I play all races on the same server?
No you may not. This is something we have discussed at length, and we believe that it would allow for easy spying, taking away from the gaming experience. If you play an Alfar, for example, you may log on your Elf scout just to check if the Elven town of Charybdis is well defended at the moment or not. If you want to play a different race, you may do so on a different server / game world.
How do I tell my NPC hirelings what to do?
You can either give an NPC hireling a direct one-time order, such as "heal me", or you can set up a more permanent chain of orders, through an advanced NPC hireling interface in Darkfall. This advanced interface can tell the NPC hireling to heal you every time your health goes below say 10% of your max health. Obviously the NPC hireling must have the matching skills and spells to perform these actions.
NPC hirelings have skills and spells like players do. The more skills and/or spells an NPC hireling has, and the better skill and/or spell levels he has, the more gold he will require for his services.
The game is still in developement. But i decided i'd like to share it with my friends (Whom i have missed more than anything, Yes. even you Jaden.)
