This may sound like mindless fun, but there is another side to naval combat. Guns, and lots of them. If you want to run a clipper ship with 8 cannons on each side, then you will need 16 gunners who will roam the waters with you. They will also need to be good at aiming and firing their weapons. Just like in real life, skill plays an important part.

The game will feature AI pre-built cities, but it will also feature player-built towns as well. Players who own cities will be responsible for providing for their citizen’s defense and daily needs. If players do not perform these duties to an acceptable degree, they will be overthrown and more than likely replaced. Darkfall is a dog-eat-dog world where anything you can imagine can happen.

At this point, those players who enjoy solo play and adventuring must be saying to themselves “this is all great, but what if I do not plan on teaming up?” Well, I am happy to report that Darkfall has a fully functional quest and PvE system. If you are the type of MMO player who enjoys long quiet treks to find out of the way points on the map, or the type of player who will solo against virtually insurmountable odds to retrieve a useless trinket for an NPC, then Darkfall will be able to meet your needs.




One other truly innovative feature of the game that needs mentioning is the weather. How can weather be innovative, you ask? Well, Darkfall has fully functional weather systems. For example, take point A and point B. Point A is located west of point B. The wind is blowing east from point A to point B. If it is raining at point A, eventually, because of the wind, the rain will reach point B. Not weather in the Darkfall universe happens randomly. If you are planning a night time raid on your enemy, you may want to wait until a night that has a full moon scheduled with clear skies so you can see, or you may want to wait for a night with no moon and rain so you can sneak up on your enemy easily. Yes, Darkfall features this depth of field, and with this level of detail, the possibilities are almost endless.
