I have just purchased Darkfall Online, and because of the scope of MMO's (which makes writing a single review very difficult), I'll keep a bit of a journal, instead. Below is the first entry.

Day 1, the Preamble (May 25^th, 2009)
I'm downloading Darkfall. While waiting, I've decided to do the smart thing and read several little strategy guides online. Although there is one for sale, I'll be damned to spend 30 dollars on an Unofficial Strategy Guide, so instead, I stuck with this guide:

It's clear that Darkfall is a game unlike other MMO's; this is all about PvP, and I'm somewhat nervous about it, as I -do- tend to care a lot about my hard work that I put into a character. However, I've decided to stick to a few rules:

1. It's only a game, don't get worked up over it.

2. The game is released as-is, anything in the game is free play, which includes what I'd call “dishonorable” behavior in other MMO's. Don't expect others to follow some moral code, and just join them.

3. Find a nice guild of like minded people, and just play the game with them.

I'm very psyched about playing the game, but alas! An hour and 30 minutes of waiting remains, in the absolute best-case scenario of maintaining a good speed on this torrent.
