Darkfall details their plans for the future and North American servers
Filed under: At a glance, Fantasy, Darkfall, Business models, Game mechanics, Patches, PvP, News items, PvE
Developer Tasos Flambouras of the Darkfall team stopped by the official Darkfall forums again with a lengthy update concerning pretty much everything under the sun for Darkfall -- from cheating to future updates -- all in one large swoop.
One of the big notes of the post is the acknowledgement of a North American server coming down the pipes, but coming with restrictions to character transfers. Original plans detailed that characters from the European server could transfer off onto the American server (as North American players are certainly playing the European version right now) but this transfer will now be delayed by several months. So, if you're itching to get off of EU-1, looks like you might be waiting for a while unless you wish to create a new character on NA-1.
Past the new server, Tasos has outlined some of the priorities for the Darkfall team, including an enhanced newbie experience, improvements to the economy, upcoming improvements to the solo and group experience, and improvements to the game's PvE system to name a few. While exact details haven't been given, it's nice to know that things like this are on the developer's "to do" list for future updates.
The full post containing all of the juicy details can be read over at the official Darkfall forums.

Game must be profitable so far, right? That's a good sign.

I must say these guys seem to to "the right thing" often. I'm sure some disagree, but the balls they have to do what's good for the game over what looks nice on the surface is impressive and refreshing. From banhammers to delaying transfers so new players have a fighting chance, to defending ridiculous reviews, it shows that they do care about their game in a real way that extends beyond simple profit. Kudos to them. I hope Mortal Online takes this same stance.
