Darkfall: Unholy Wars Will Feature Safe Zones For All, Safe Cities For Reds


In thirteen days, Darkfall will shut down and make way for the launch of Darkfall: Unholy Wars on November 20th. As launch of Unholy Wars comes closer, Aventurine has been letting information trickle out via the Epic Blog, videos posted on Youtube, and through interviews with varying websites. In an interview with MMORPG.com, Aventurine discusses the new combat mechanics, boating, skill training, and a few other topics. At the end of the interview, the topic turns to the flagging system, detailing Aventurine’s new plans for red-flagged (criminal) players and the introduction of safe zones:

In reality we are keeping the whole turning red situation when you kill other players in place but turning red does no longer mean you get attacked by NPC guard towers. It is just there to indicate to other players you might not be someone they can trust. What they do with the information is up to them. However because this would make the entire world rather chaotic we felt we needed to create some areas where players can perform some basic activities in peace. All the racial capitals and satellite faction cities as well as surrounding areas where players will make their initial steps have all PvP actions disabled.

This change will no doubt annoy some of Darkfall’s more hardcore group. You can read the rest of the interview at the link below, it contains quite a bit of information.
