A group of former Darkfall players has formed a company called Ub3rgames which is currently attempting to negotiate a licensing deal with original publisher Aventurine. Assuming success, the company’s website estimates between six and nine months of development prior to launch. It aims to avoid the safe zones and classes introduced in Darkfall’s Unholy Wars reboot, and it also says that it will incentivize “positive interactions to make Darkfall more than a gankbox.”

New Dawn will feature a box price, a monthly subscription, and it will not have a cash shop, though some sort of PLEX-like game time object is planned.

Darkfall unholy wars sucked rear end because all the cool bros knew how OP being an archer was for starting camped outside the noobie zone and insta killed everyone who left.

I totally bet removing noobie zones and making new characters killable on creation will be a large boost to bringing new people into this sperg fest of a game.

I highly doubt the low interest in the game is caused by roaming death squads that insta kill you and call you a fag when they take all your items is causing this games slow painful death.

So who's going to buy this? I assume all the people working on the project expect to play for free, leaving an unknown player base.

Adventurine made an off-hand comment about how they'd like to license out Darkfall 1 development some day and these idiots jumped at the chance for them to say no.

If I were them, I wouldn't say no to anyone. They're not exactly in the position to choose from a variety of interested parties.

This.

If I get the idea its some ancient game that some nerds want to make harder or some poo poo. Grithok did that to our minecraft Server and now we can't go to the loving nether because its like playing doom where you only get sticks to wack the demons.

Nerds trying to make games harder is the worst.

Its diffirent in this case. I would say one of the best games ever made is Xcom Enemy Within. It was extremely fun playing on Ironman classic and impossible. The reason it was fun was because they made a game with the intention for it to be hard. But when you have a game that was not intended to be hard and then modded to be then I feel the difference in scope and design. Something's Fucky about it. Its like modding a Lego game into Doom. Oh wait that is what he did to me.

This is EXACTLY what a terrible terrible game like Darkfall needs: a REALLY terrible iteration that caters to a small minority of an already small community.

SOUNDS LIKE A WINNER.

Also they're using a subscription + box cost model, which AAA titles like TESO couldn't even pull off.

Actually there are two teams trying to buy the licence:

http://darkfallnewdawn.com/

http://riseofagon.com/

But the CEO of Aventurine Zad Mehdawi is a major rear end in a top hat and I don't think it will work out.

Oh and since there is no alternative, I would totally buy the game.
In the meantime I will play this neat Unreal Tournament Pre-Alpha.
