Put Darkfall RoA and Darkfall New Dawn under Dead on Arrival

The game has failed twice now and basically you have two commercial servers under licensing deals. If the game ever had a viable community, now it's split under two different visions and the differences will only divide people more, if these things ever launch at all.

Well there is a (small) playerbase for this niche, and those people will stick to the Darkfall franchise because there is simply no alternative.
Name me one Fantasy Full Loot FPS MMORPG Sandbox that is good and has no Mortal or Darkfall in its name.

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that

This one I've been alpha testing for a while and got really high hopes for. I've chatted up the devs a bunch and they're cool people, respond well to community feedback, and have some of the best design methodologies I've seen in MMOs. It's a full loot PvP game made explicitly to be accessible for people with day jobs. That means low grind, death that isn't crippling, with soft caps and catchup mechanics so you don't have to make it a second job. The devs have been consistently working on newbie/solo player QoL stuff and antizerg mechanics. Everything is friendly fire, and all your attacks are skillshots or AoEs, which leads to a lot of hilarity. It also means big zerg fights tend to quickly break up into a bunch of localized scirmishes and battle lines to keep from hitting allies, which makes them a lot more engaging imo. The combat itself is twitchy, hectic, and engaging, with a lot of build diversity. Gear is more about min-maxing your statline than gaining a strict numerical advantage over someone, so having it get looted isn't that big of a deal. I spent a lot of time running around naked dieing a bunch and having a blast.

Game doesn't have enough content to support a goon community yet, but I'll be trying to wrangle one when it hits beta, which should be later this year sometime.

Havent tried any official servers since 2006, was dead then, should be deader now. Last I checked UO Roleplay was a decent shard to play because they don't bot.

...is not a FPS

@Pavlov, yeah I've also played in a past alpha test and it was a lot of fun.

But my heart wants a Darkfall like experience with First-Person view and manual aiming.

If you didn't say fantasy I would have suggested Face of Mankind. That was loads of bad game fun.

If you were willing to settle for third person, Gloria Victis is pretty fun M&B-esque combat.

WHAT THAT SMELL LIKE?!


I updated the OP.

Did not include any of the Darkfalls because of the splintered community. If anyone wants to try to justify their inclusion, feel free.

Das Tal sounds neat. Mortal Online does too (never played it), but I feel like I'm falling victim to some scam by saying that.

If being a clone escaping through the woods naked sounds appealing, this may be the game for you

Safe and sound, detached from reality.
Just like your posting.
Looks like Ultima Online with more bikini chicks. I mean it could turn out okay but I really doubt it. Also what's with all the bikinis?
