American server and free expansion coming to Darkfall early July

Tasos Flambouras of Darkfall has posted details on the game's forums of some big events that are just around the corner. The US server launch has been scheduled for the 7th of July, but as we learned previously, players from the European server won't be able to transfer their characters over straight away:

"Characters from the European server can be cloned and moved without their possessions 3 months after the American launch. Certain restrictions and charges will apply, to be announced at a later date."

The only way to play on the US server from launch is to buy the American Darkfall client. Tasos later added that American players currently on the European server would not need to buy the new client in order to transfer over when the time comes, to help the US early adopters -- any others jumping ship will need to purchase the US version of the game.

In addition to this, during the first week of July players can expect a free expansion to roll out, which will include new content and updates to PvE and PvP. A new website is also in the works, with forums that the public will be able to read, but only Darkfall subscribers will be able to post to.

What sucks is that they require you to buy a new client if you want to play NA1 server at launch. You can however wait 3 months if you want to transfer the character over for free. But you cannot play NA1 till then.

sounds pretty fair to me.
You also have to remember that a lot of the accounts on EU-1 exploited at every opportunity. The 3 month delay will give people a fresh start with a lot of the bugs fixed, before all those that levelled their skills in illegal ways move over.
If there was an EU-2 now the bugs are fixed, I know a fair amount of people that would take another look at the game.

that's just how hardcore Darkfall is. If you don't like it, youre not awesome enough to play. Go back to WoW, carebear!

Darkfall will be shut down by this time next year.

How do i know this? In case you're blind the population is getting smaller, not bigger...Aventurine is up to it's ass in debt and the investors are not happy with with AV or the way Darkfall was handled.

Enjoy your pathetic 'hardcore' status while it lasts.

i like knowing numbers and debt, as you profess to know so much please send me a link, mail or document detailing those fact..

...or stfu. if the game dies it's becouse Aventurine doens't know how to fix Expliots.

Still doesn't say where to buy it, and their website is worthless on giving you this info.

Yeah nothing really against darkfall, but they don't really have their crap together.

wow that is amazing
they are going to charge people to transfer to NA after 3 months AND make you buy a new client to play NA? are you fucking serious? i quit playing a few weeks ago with the intention of revisiting after NA launched but the decisions they are making are terrible! what a way to kill your fan base.

So they're going to split the playerbase of a game that already only has like, what, 7k subs? Man those guys at aventurine are fucking geniuses!

Seriously it's like they are trying to kill their own game at this point. Not like I think anyone would care at this point.
