Darkfall coming out on the 22nd

Darkfall, the mmo that was called Vaporware many a time is finally coming!
Having been in development for 8 years this game has a ton of new an innovative things to bring to the market.
Darkfall is also a FREE FOR ALL PVP MMORPG.

Meaning: If you kill someone, you can take absolutely everything that person is wearing, and everything in their inventory, including mounts.

The catch: Every item has a weight so your character can only pick up so much and if your looting, someone else could kill you and take everything.

This game has litterally hundreds of features the MMO genre has never seen before so I'm only going to touch base on a few of them:

1. If you need a sheild, find an NPC or Player that has a sheild equipped, what you see, is what you get.
2. NPCs are a pain in the ass to kill. Don't expect them to stand still and take it. They will dodge, run away, drink potions, buff up, call for help. If they kill you, they will take your gear to get stronger, eventually leveling up and learning new skills. NPCs that level can eventually become bosses.
3. Town building - Much more in depth than anything you have seen or heard of before.
4. Naval fleets - Thats right, if you want to be a guild of pirates, go for it.
5. No level system. As you become more proficient you will learn new skills. No more not being invited to the group because your too low.
6. No instancing, one huge seamless world, full of dungeons and caverns.
