Dear DarkFall, WoW called, they want their launch plan back.

The best PK death ever, thanks DarkFall.

Posted on March 16, 2009 by SynCaine

I’m not really going to talk about the tech issues DarkFall is having, as it’s rather simple. Too many people online, the game never kicks people, lag is bad, queue queue, and all that. It’s an MMO, and in exchange … Continue reading →

Getting my PvE on in DarkFall

Posted on March 13, 2009 by SynCaine

Last night, after a nice 2 hour queue to log in (damn carebear tourists got through!), I had an experience I was not exactly expecting from DarkFall; I had fun doing a PvE dungeon run. Don’t get too excited yet … Continue reading →

My DarkFall time was a bit short yesterday, as Destro CoW had our first Lost Vale run planned, along with the release of the Choppa/Slayer class for those who completed the Bitter Rivals event. Lost Vale was very entertaining, and … Continue reading →

Getting a Darkfall account, still hardcore.

Posted on March 5, 2009 by SynCaine

The website to order Darkfall has been accepting orders each day for roughly 5-10 minutes before closing again due to availability. During that 5-10 minute window, and roughly 30 minutes before and after, the website is slammed with traffic and … Continue reading →

Only carebears play Darkfall

Posted on March 2, 2009 by SynCaine

It’s March 2nd, and the sheep are still playing Darkfall. This is a slap in the face to all those ‘hardcore’ wolves who signed up, as clearly all of you are slacking way too much. Get out there and gank … Continue reading →

Old nightmares still haunt some people.

Posted on February 26, 2009 by SynCaine

Dear Lum, Some of us remember the torment that was pre-trammies UO for you. You got killed, ganked, decapitated, harassed, etc. People called you fat, and a picture of you ‘leaked’ out and was the source of entertainment for many. … Continue reading →
