Wessex Darkfall 2?

[Royko Sothenic]

"Open beta" is schedueled for April/May/June time i beleive.
So yes we could well be waiting 6-8 months for release.

But this time they have better knowledge, and better investment, so im sure they will market the game properly this time around, Darkfall has only ever sold in stores in greece apparently lol.

Aye, the business side of things is another aspect of the re-launch that I am very excited about. They are getting more staff and are getting more resources thanks in part to partners in Asia where they will be launching servers. This is good for us as it lets AV throw more people at fixing bugs, adding new content and actually marketing the game.

Hmm so its basically just a relaunch with major game play changes not really a whole new game engine with better tools for what they wanted Darkfall to be originally?

Its a relaunch with major game changes, not a new engine.
Read the blog, they say nothing is being left untouched.

Thanks for forgetting about me :P

That aside, I'll give it it a spin too since we have this much interest.

I thought you were pretty active on the forums and in mumble thats why I didn't put you down Master Fisherman

Also Me and Roy and Kells have been playing with a great group of people for a while now, so hopefully we can persuade them to join the mighty Wessex.

Great to see some people emerging.

Hi Falesh, Raven and Mal

Hello

For anyone thinking of trying DF2 and worrying about not enjoying it for the long term... don't. Whatever you pay up front is similar to any single player game (correction if I am wrong on that ) and you will get at least a few weeks-months of fun - also similar to any single player game. If you are looking for something fresh you can't go wrong trying it.

And as Orisini said, from the forum reaction it seems you will have plenty of good company.

Iam very interested.
Never played the original game, so I'm all bright eyed and bushy tailed to start a new mmo.
As long as it's not a wow clone I shall give it a go.

Don't worry. This is not a wow clone

I think the key is that as well as changing almost everything they are changing fundamental things. In a similar way to WoW removing all character classes and then making a new system that doesn't use classes. That is why it is a re-launch/new game rather then just an epic expansion.
