With the rumors of NA1 coming out ppl from my clan have already stopped logging in because they don't want to work on a toon that they can't take with them to the NA server and are just waiting for the NA server to come out. With that said they all still feel that the NA server needs to be a fresh start server because of the "advantages" a lot of the self proclaimed leet ppl have gotten.

My suggestion in order to make it so that the EU1 server doesn't die before the NA1 server even goes live is to make the NA1 server a fresh start server but also allow for the character that is on EU1 to remain and open up a new character slot for the NA1 server. This way the ppl currently gun ho about the NA1 server don't feel that its pointless to play their EU1 toon and then when NA1 comes out they can simply go there and at the sametime keep in touch with their EU counterparts in their clan and come over to the EU1 to help them when needed and vice versa.

bump cause it took 3 weeks to be approved... :bang::sly:


Btw is the NA1 server still in the works. Cause the casual random pvp action outside of sieges or raids is getting fewer and farther between. Hell most the times if a raiding party is spotted everyone in alliance is dying to get a shot at that them because they haven't gotten their pvp fix in awhile.

As a side note for an additional suggestion......dumb down the mobs for god sake. Even bugging some of the higher lvl mobs nearly takes 1.5 full stam bars just to kill one solo. I couldn't imagine actually trying to kill one of them legit even with a grp.

tbh, i'm glad when as many big exploting clans as possible are gone. And since the currently population consists of a lot of americans (due to cc payment) i'm sure this will be to some extent the case, when NA-1 opens up (or rather the char transfer).

I hope, there will be a oppurtunity like this in the future:
"Till Date X you can decide, whether your char on EU-1 is transferred to NA-1 or will be deleted"

They've said time and time again that this game will be one character per server. Whats the fuss all about?

I think he wants a second character slot opened up so that NA players can level a toon on EU-1 that will be transferable to NA-1 on its release, therefore allowing those who plan to play NA to continue to play DF in the meantime.

Oh? I interpretted it that he wants people to be able to play NA1 on same account as they can play EU1

I hope they gona put some money on advertise so we get more people into this awesome game. Please make char transfer impossible at start and dont give out a date from where it would be possible to transfer. Also put up a new EU server so new people who likes to play on a EU server get the same chance as those who gona play on NA server.
By the way i just started to get some nice skills so i would also be hurt by this and I think it would be very fun :D

I recently spoke with some friends who play other MMO's, only one had heard of DF and they said its still in beta isnt it, so advertising has got to be a priority once the game has had more updates.

If EU-1 dies before NA-1 comes out, there probably isn't going to be a NA-1 or a Darkfall. If this happens and DF survives, it will probably be a good length of time while they try and update/patch and then revive the game with the new server, but that's highly optimistic.

As far as AV has been in the past, it's pretty obvious that NA-1 isn't launching in July. If you really think NA-1 is going to launch when AV said it would, you are most likely mentally impaired.

I would allow 2 character slots on the EU1 server.

Makes it a little different than US in that you can have 2 characters. 2 sets of gameplay/politics, etc.
:D

Basically....

What I was saying was that the EU population is dwindling fast. Some have left because they can't stand the grind, others have left because of the exploits, and some have left because they await NA-1. Some of those that have stayed have said they will go to NA1 when its released. So that means that the EU1 population is about to take an even larger hit when those ppl that are still playing here go to NA1 which will leave hollowed out cities all over the place and empty mob zones.

My suggestion was to announce that they will allow for the EU1 toons that are already created to remain on EU1 so that ppl can still skill them up and play here. When the NA1 server opens up allow for a second character slot to open so that the player can create a fresh toon on NA1 to play there, while keeping thier EU1 toon on the EU1 server. Don't allow character transfers at all.....ever, to NA1. This way each player, whether they are a NA player or an EU player, has the opportunity to have a player on both servers, but with no possibilty of transfers so that it doesn't imbalance anything or throw off the economy on either server. To many ppl on this server has taken advantage of things that have been long since patched out that they would create an imbalance in a new fresh start server where a lot of new players will be starting their DF carreers. Many of the ppl I play with in SB are still holding out even coming over to DF until a NA server is launched and many of them have stated they won't bother if there is a character transfer as have many other players from other MMOs that are waiting for the NA launch.

Survival of NA when EU exist.. Thats the question.

I dislike your idea. Better make one char per All Servers, who wants to transfer has to delete EU Account, and so we know how many space is actually left.

If not, all the NA people with Accounts on EU-1 will still use up the player space for Europeans. If they add a decent shop with European Payment methods the player base will fill up quick.

This idea will only work if they advertise the game more. Until then there isn't the population to keep both servers up and from the sounds of things on other game sites and MMO sites the NA1 server is looking to be the more popular atm even though its not even out. There are more ppl that have quit the EU server and await the NA launch then ppl that are still actively playing the game today. So if they launch the NA server and force everyone to delete thier EU toon then they might as well call the EU server the afk macro farm crafting server cause you'll have a rough time finding pvp.

Don't worry. With they're last announcements regarding na transfers they've officially killed their own game. If I were you, I wouldn't worry much about the future pupulation of the servers...since there will be none.

They should allow NA players to re-roll free on the NA server. Having to pay $50 to re-roll is retarded and allowing players to transfer exploited characters after 90 days will ruin NA just like they ruined EU. This game is done with MO and Aion coming out.

Too bad, PvP was fun, but piss poor management was the downfall of this game. I'm not going to re-roll for $50 just to have some ass exploiting faggots come over in 90 days to take it all.

Characters on EU1 are products of an unfinished game, most people have characters and wealth they should not have. If AV allows for these characters to transfered onto a fresh, more evolved server then they truely do fail.

EU1 should be reset imo, you would not expect to xfer a beta character onto live servers where the game is very different to what it was in beta. At the end of the day you are just ruining the game for anybody who did not exploit / hack their way to face roll lol 3 shot characters.

This is pretty much spot on. I've been paying to beta test since release. Anyone who has been around for a while knows this is true. The major changes they have made to the game are not something that happens to a game remotely ready for release. EU1 is a beta server.

To allow transfers from the beta server to a live one is a mistake.

I paid to get this game early and suffered through you Euro's terrible lag to play this game early and have the early bird advantage on the American server because it was promised to us that character transfers would be offered. Now you want to take that away? Well that's fine so long as I am either refunded my subscription payments or they are altered from the time I spent playing on the EU server to the NA server, so what is that 3-4 months of "free" NA server time. Sounds fair.
Take away the transfer of characters and you really will see Darkfall die.

Clarification: American players wanting to clone and transfer their characters do not have to buy another client. Everyone else needs to buy the American Darkfall client to play on the American server. The European rights and the American rights to Darkfall do not belong to the same company, therefore you cannot freely transfer between the two territories, as is the case with most MMORPGs. Our offer of character cloning / transfer to American players is because we had said that we would try to accommodate them should they want to start playing on the European server.

We do not have to pay for making a new character, we just simply make a character from how I read this and if not, just keep playing EU until they allow transfers.
