Overview

Darkfall is an MMORPG set in a high-fantasy world called Agon. It features a significant number of mould-breaking gameplay elements and systems compared with typical contemporary MMORPGs. These include PvP free of typical restrictions (see below), full inventory looting upon death, an enormous, hand made, seamless world, as well as a fast-paced aim based fps-style combat system. Character development centers around individual skills which increase in level through use, rather than a single character level.

Darkfall follows the traditional MMORPG business model in that the game must be purchased (in practice, an account), plus a subscription. However, just like EVE Online, there are no additional expansions sold, with major updates to the game being marketed as free expansions (of which there have so far been 3).
