I hate limited edition goods, because they always leave me feeling like I need to hoard them before some indeterminate time where they go away to possibly never return. In this case, I’m referring to the awfully tasty caramel iced instant coffee by Starbucks, which they’ve described as “limited time.” What a tease, to bring [...]

Darkfall: Projecting Dave Georgeson On Wipes
July 15th, 2011 
Omali A rather humorous poster once said “My rule on wiping in-game is the same as in real life. If someone else does it for me, I feel violated.” The month of August starts in 16 days, and in that month we are expected to receive more information regarding Darkfall 2.0, aka Darkfall 2010. To those [...]
Darkfall Suicidal: Character Wipes Not Off The Table
July 8th, 2011 Omali One week ago, I put my money on the table that Darkfall 2.0, a relaunch of the game, would bring free to play to the game. There is still no information as to whether or not the game will indeed go free to play, so let’s focus on another avenue of the Darkfall 2.0 launch: [...]
$20 Says Darkfall “Relaunch” Is Free To Play
July 1st, 2011 Omali When was the last time you heard the phrase “this patch is like a completely new game?” In my line of work (work? Blogging), a whole lot. Such is the case with Darkfall, where on the Epic Blog head boss man of Aventurine Tasos Flambouras talks about a complete relaunch of the game. How much of a [...]
Darkfall Anniversary Sale: $9
March 6th, 2011 Omali Darkfall is one of those games that comes around and defies all authority by, yes, having one of the worst launches in recent history (with the game being unbuyable for a good while post-launch), but taking those startup issues, beating them over the head with a brick, and throwing the dead bodies into a lake. [...]
Aventurine Has Regained Investments On Darkfall
February 13th, 2011 Omali For many companies, regaining the insane investment that MMOs require can often take a game plan of around five years, which is why MMO Fallout specifically designed its patented (not really) longevity test around the five year period. For Aventurine, however, this has taken approximately two years. In an interview with Greek TV (fair warning: [...]
Darkfall Arena Promises Cataclysmic Events
January 30th, 2011 Omali Referring to the Darkfall 2010 expansion as Darkfall 2010 would just be silly at this point, being 2011. Instead, Aventurine has renamed the expansion Darkfall Arena, and has promised that the update will not only change Darkfall as a game, but change the world its players reside in. In a recent blog post, Aventurine’s own [...]
Darkfall Doing Dynamics: Upcoming Updates
November 19th, 2010 Omali Dynamic events and MMOs go together like the layers of a sweet sweet cherpumple cake, and despite what some may claim you really don’t need to be a sandbox title in order to accomplish such a feat, and do it well. In the past, we’ve seen attempts at developer-run dynamic events, where the player’s success [...]
Darkfall De-Trammels With Latest Expansion, Still Helping Newbies
October 10th, 2010 Omali The recent release of Darkfall’s “Darkfall 2010″ expansion brought along an overhaul to the world of Agon, from the terrain to the dungeons, the villages, ships, and monsters (some of them level up now), and everything in between. A big change, yes, but warranting an article? Probably not. Today, the focus is on changes to [...]
Darkfall 2010 Update Coming, Get Darkfall On Sale…
September 30th, 2010 Omali The search terms coming to MMO Fallout are trending towards Darkfall, so a large update must be coming soon. Earlier this year, I talked about the Darkfall 2010 update and really haven’t given it much notice since then, as I wanted all the features to come together before-hand. I don’t have the time to go [...]
