Big Darkfall Announcement Coming…Maybe, At Some Point.


Darkfall. The game hasn’t been featured here at MMO Fallout much lately, in fact not since June when Aventurine announced that the client price would be suspended in favor of simply subscribing after the trial runs out. Meanwhile, Aventurine is still plugging away at Darkfall 2.0 (or Darkfall 2010 as many of you know it), … Continue reading “Big Darkfall Announcement Coming…Maybe, At Some Point.”

Darkfall's New Investors: InternetQ


Although inevitably someone will come and tell me otherwise, investors have historically had major impacts on MMO development and direction on a fundamental level. For instance, I would never make the direct claim that Insight Venture Partners told Jagex to reverse course and start including exclusive in-game items packaged in with certain vendor cards, but … Continue reading “Darkfall's New Investors: InternetQ”
