Today’s MMOrning Shot comes to us from Aventurine with Darkfall Unholy Wars. A recent patch to Darkfall changed the manner in which rewards are obtained by guild controlled villages. Rather than dumping the rewards in the guild vault, players must use new equipment for requisitioning rewards, as well as globules of greed obtained by bandits … Continue reading “MMOrning Shots: Darkness Falls”

Today’s Taco Tuesday discussion comes to us from the Darkfall: Unholy Wars forum where a rather interesting event has taken place.

One of the downsides of MMOs lies in their very long development times, and it can be easy to forget just how far out certain games are when the developer is already talking about them. Take World of Darkness as a prime example, coming from CCP and set in the world of Vampire: The Masquerade. The … Continue reading “World of Darkness: A Long Way Out”
Darkfall is launching April 16th. Is the game ready for launch after five months of delays? That is not for me to say at the moment, considering the game is still under a nondisclosure agreement. Aventurine has announced today that they are going ahead and gearing up for launch in mid-April, bringing the relaunch of … Continue reading “Darkfall Unholy Wars Launches April 16th”
