It looks like shit and will play like it too.
I was once too wound up in the dark hype pit of doom.

I've been waiting for this game for a while now, and all the reviews I'm seeing about the beta seem positive so I'm hopeful this will be an awesome game. As soon as the game comes out I'll probably make a human (I'm boring like that) and play as a crafter/trader, I've always wanted a game that had a decent enough economy to make a trader a viable and fun class (I know there technically aren't any classes, but you get my point) so I'm hoping this won't disappoint.

Aside from ambitious NPC design, I don't see why this would be preferable to EVE.

Combat is an example of something that is completely different in EVE and Darkfall. EVE is probably the only successful game released the last couple of years that resembles Darkfall somewhat but Darkfall is far from EVE in a fantasy setting.

edit:Oh, still in beta. Looks extremely good from the op post. Yes it is pay to play. The release on the 22nd of January will be electronic. There will most likely be some kind of torrent or filefront or something. Servers will be located in Europe at first but people from all over the world will be able to join and play. Servers will later be added in the US too.

pretty awesome grammatical error on their "Features Page"
--> "Theres alignment in Darkfall?"

It looks fun actually. I've never played a MMORPG, this might be my first if it turns out to be as good as the OP suggests. However, what is the cap then in terms of character development. There's no levels etc, so how far can you "improve" stuff

However, what is the cap then in terms of character development. There's no levels etc, so how far can you "improve" stuff There will be a soft cap on total skill points. Skills will start out at 1 and have a maximum level of 100. Theoretically you could max all the skills in the game but the more total skill points you have the harder it will be to gain more. So it will be important to focus on a few skills if you want to make a good character. Also skills that are of a high level but are not used will decay slowly over time. You can also drop skills completely if you want to. There is no way to "gimp" your character by training the wrong skills etc.

looks really cool, but I wonder how much the monthly fee will be -- I'm not interested in paying any more than $10 really

However, what is the cap then in terms of character development. There's no levels etc, so how far can you "improve" stuff Apparently there are skills that you can level, like swordsmanship, crafting, etc. and the level cap is 100 (iirc) and at 100 you get a special one time use ability which after using resets your skill down to 99. Apparently it takes a long ass time to get from 99-100 so hopefully it won't become overpowered.
Also from what I hear there isn't a drastically huge advantage between low and high levels, just enough to give a slight edge to the higher level player. Like starting someone off with 8 worker units instead of 4 in SC (obligatory SC reference). However if you're skillful enough then a player just starting out should still be able to kill a maxed out player.
Although tbh I haven't kept up with the development of this game in a while so I may be completely off.

I love the concept of sandbox games.
Like the carmageddon demo and GTA

I like the idea of this, but like some others said, not really going to pay more than $10-$15 a month for it. However, the idea of building up a city then conquering others sounds fun.

But I really really doubt its going to work as well as it sounds and if it does succeed then its going to be the best mmorpg ever.
Lets hope.

Whut?! That's quite an edge if you ask me.
