Rise of Agon Focuses On PvE Experience In New Update


Rise of Agon is focusing on player vs environment in its latest patch. The latest update tweaks daily quests to provide significantly more appealing rewards, chests have been made more rewarding, and the gold cost to combine treasure map fragments has been removed completely. In addition to the content tweaks, players should be happy to hear that Big Picture Games has taken steps to fix uncompletable quests, removed obsolete crafting tools and spells from various loot tables and crafting, and optimized the texture loading.

Darkfall Returns: Rise of Agon Is Live


Darkfall is back! Rise of Agon, a revival of the original Darkfall MMORPG, has officially launched. Darkfall originally launched under now-defunct developer Aventurine in 2009 only to shut down and be revived as Darkfall: Unholy Wars in 2012. Unholy Wars was subsequently shut down alongside Aventurine due to poor economic conditions in Greece. Aventurine, while they were in business, had originally planned a revival of Darkfall 1.0 (as some have referred to it) only to cancel those plans later on.

Rise of Agon is one of two Darkfall revivals that are coming out, as Aventurine sold the rights to two developers. Curious players can join in on the action by buying into the game’s $10 subscription fee.

If Darkfall is known for one thing, it may be the arduous grind that players are required to slog through in order to hit high levels, but that may be a thing of the past with the latest game update. In a set of patch notes released yesterday, Big Picture Games has announced that players will now progress through Darkfall three times faster than they had previously, with an extra cherry on top in the form of a boost in meditation points. All characters, new and existing, will receive a handsome offering of 500,000 meditation points to invest in their skills.

The update comes alongside a number of other bug fixes and tweaks, including new racial abilities and changes surrounding Greatswords. You can find the entire list of changes at the link below, or watch the video. Rise of Agon is a reboot of the original Darkfall MMORPG in development by Big Picture Games.

Darkfall: Rise of Agon Offers Free Game Time

Darkfall: Unholy Wars is still dead, however while Aventurine was forced to shut down, but two companies have licensed the game and are looking to create their own reimagining of the original (and some would argue better) original Darkfall release. Rise of Agon is one of those two titles, and the folks at Big Picture Games released the latest set of patch notes today dealing with all manner of various tweaks.

For those still on the fence, you will be able to access the game for free beginning October 14th and continuing to October 24th.

On Friday, October 14th after server maintenance until the server maintenance of Monday, October 24th, Darkfall: Rise of Agon will be free to play for everyone. New players who wish to try Darkfall for the first time or players interested in trying out some of the new changes will be able to do so during this free period. We would like to call on our veterans to provide assistance and take in new players who try the game and help show them what the game has to offer. We plan to host events during this time and hope to see both new and old faces out on the battlefield! Stay tuned for more information later this week.
