Feature
Adventure and explore
Explore five continents, countless small
islands, trackless underwater depths, and
a sprawling underworld. Hundreds of dungeons
and adventure areas await.
Play any of Agon's six dominant races.
Each race has a unique set of abilities,
as well as its own civilization, culture,
and way of life.
Meet hundreds of unique monsters, and
take them on in their lairs, strongholds
and domains. Repetitive monster encounters
are a thing of the past.
Travel through geographically diverse
regions that are alive with plants, trees,
birds, animals, and even insects.
Experience a world brought to life by
real-world physics and dynamic lighting
and shadows. Watch trees and grass sway
in the wind as sunlight peeks through passing
clouds. Observe the movements of Agon's
twin moons, which are part of a dynamic
planetary system with smooth day/night cycles.
Sail your ship through rough seas, then
become hampered by fog as the waters calm.
Struggle as your battlefield-bound army
marches into a severe storm. In Darkfall,
the weather is more than just window dressing.
Darkfall's terrain has been painstakingly
hand-crafted by our artists, rather than
conveniently auto-generated. This means
non-repetitive, unpredictable, and unique
locations to explore, discover and use.
Darkfall's world is full of wonders, small
and large.
Uncover the mysteries of an ancient civilization,
which left more than just ruins for later
generations to discover. Untold riches and
incredible power is the prize, as you join
the race to claim an age-old inheritance
•Play it in your way
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

In Darkfall, all items in the world can
be made by the players.
Darkfall's crafting system is intuitive,
non-repetitive, challenging, useful, fun
- and profitable. Using Darkfall's
virtually limitless item creator system,
you could invent and be the first to use
a weapon as awesome as the Flamefury Raudstaal
Battleaxe of Bloodshed, or just make a simple
saddle for your horse.

sophisticated and secure trading system,
bringing buyers and sellers together easily

not.
•Fight battles and bulid
an empire
Darkfall is optimized for both player versus
player action and for massive battles.
Protect your home and expand your holdings
as you build your empire. In Darkfall, clans
struggle for supremacy and survival as they
compete over land ownership, resources,
and strategic objectives.
Darkfall's combat system is well balanced
and well thought out, and the action is
real-time, fast paced, and exciting. You're
in the thick of the action, not merely observing
it.
Apply strategy, tactics, logistics, and
individual skill to defeat your opponents.
Choose from a great variety of weapons,
armors, hundreds of offensive and defensive
spells, and special attacks.
Fight on horseback during a cavalry charge,
participate in a naval battle, fight from
vehicles and control siege and heavy weapons.
Your victories are documented for posterity
and success is measurable, so you'll never
have to wonder what really happened.
There are no safe zones in Darkfall. The
only protection you can count on is your
friends watching your back.
•Interact and share the world
We give you a world full of options, choices,
and possibilities, and the ability to shape
and define your game environment. Politics,
diplomacy, trade agreements, and even player
defined legal systems, are all supported
by the game.
Darkfall places no restrictions on player
interaction, so there are no developer imposed
safe zones, no realms, factions, PvP zones,
or any other roadblocks that limit your
game. Anyone can fight anyone, anywhere
as long as they are willing to face the
consequences - in the form of Darkfall's
alignment system.
You can enjoy easy communication with
your friends, even while outside the game.
Darkfall's Communication interface
includes in-game message and trade boards,
an IRC-style chat system, instant messaging,

tools take care of the tedious and repetitive

challenges (and the fun) associated with
clan leadership.
