Darkfall has played out above expectations so far. The game has been more stable, less buggy, and more fun then I thought was possible. The people who were upset it played like Shadowbane instead of UO or AC have gotten over it. Darkfall is a blast to play.
As a guild we've put our focus on town at the moment. I am fairly certain we're holding in the top 5ish guilds for town building. We've got 4-5 more days of work on town to hit our goal and shift to heavier PvP. Right now the CAPSULE/OrksRUs/DSoM alliance is trying to lay the smack down on us, but they're not up to the task. CAPSULE have higher skills and are better geared for now but their supporting cast(orks/dsom) is trash. In a week we'll be taking it to them all regularly and in 2 weeks I expect they'll have moved to an easier zone.
To those of you holding off on playing DF - don't! You're missing a flashback of the old days. Get your accounts and come have some fun. See ya in game!

Pre-order information was posted today for beta testers. We were supposed to have a 2 hour head start on everyone else. Naturally, it was leaked out within 5 minutes of being up. It's been a very chaotic day with only a small number of people getting their pre-orders, but it's smoothed out as of this post. With any luck we'll have 40+ with confirmed accounts by this time tomorrow.
Good luck getting those accounts everyone!

The WoW stuff is gone from the front page. I left the Warhammer recruitment block, but mainly because I like having some color. It'll go as soon as I have something Darkfall to put up. When the NDA gets lifted and information is more free flowing I'll start adding DFO stuff. I've left most of the forums up, but as we near release I'll be trimming those too.
Darkfall promises to be the game we've all been moaning for since UO. That makes it our priority game and I fully expect all our guys who are still gaming to play it. I expect several who have quit gaming to makea return. How well it delivers remains to be seen, but the risk is worth the potential reward. Conan disclosed releasing FFA servers just over a month before release (i think) and pulled together thousands of PvPers hoping that would lead to something more. We had over 150 people on release ourselves. All that for a game that only hinted it might offer a taste of the gaming experience we love. Darkfall has been sculpted for the freedom we want. It has pulled from mainly UO & AC for its core aspects. Where many games have had potential, Darkfall could be revolutionary as they claim in their video.
If you haven't seen the intro video click this.
NOTE: We've got a lot of people who don't check the page regularly. Some of the old bastards probably haven't looked in to see that DF isn't just hype and vapor afterall. Hence, it's time to do a mass mail. Odds are I'll do 3 total before release.

Atainius writes "Mere weeks before the opening of Warhammer Online several syndicate members began to pipe up about their experiences in beta, sharing their knowledge of the background of the game and building some interest in the RvR system that the game was promising to have upon release. Wary of recent MMO releases with similar promises of being a PvP oriented game, most of the group decided to play it safe and wait for concrete evidence that warhammer would indeed be a game fitting for the guild's PvP intentions.
I am happy to say that participating in the last beta, and holding my personal opinions about the game back until nearly release has helped me more confidently recruit others to our cause and I definately feel this game has good promise of fun for all of us who are giving it a try. Since then we have opened recruitment up on our boards, compiled some good information on the game for our members and have a steady pace of growth for the future of the guild here.
On tuesday night we gathered our first tiny band of players and -S- was born. Thank you Row, Rufus, Renious, Clothkiller, Zeberg and Ryusuke for being at the signing and contributing to the founding of this chapter of -S-.
Since Tuesday we have grown to 20+ members and the guild rank is nearing level 3! We have found friends both new and old this week running around on the Sylvania server (its a small world), and we have already found our first PvP goal...a fake Shadow Syndicate was created on the chaos side. We ran a scenario against them and won, and I look forward to beating them time and time again anywhere they are hiding.
So keep up the good work everyone, and for those of you waiting to see how the game unfolds for us, I encourage you to come see for yourself.
-Atainius"
