NA 1 Brought a lot of new players

[BoneDancer-SiN]

I have about 20 people in my clan that have never played the game prior to NA. Some of which were previous haters. I can only imagine this is consistent with other guilds and the global population of the server. My vent channel is packed with similar levels to our WOW startup and WAY more then our EU Darkfall startup. I hope they market this game because of those people all of them love the game.

[Marxon_VG]

Your right Bone, we have a handful of people who have never played DF pre-NA.

Some are friends of our clan members that just didn't like the idea of playing a game on a European server, and others are completely new.

no it isnt. hes playing to the masses, trying to portray himself as a good guy. His other thread did it too.

I helped some new players yesterday also, helped them get back to the bindstone.

He is a good guy. He's just a shitty leader and solos during sieges against his city.

No guild tax for the first two weeks AND a complimentary fishing rod!

start of the server, they need stone. Its a complementary mining pick.

So Darkfall went from 1,000 active players to 1,020?


Awesome!

[Zurk]

Bone - stop trying to advertise your shitty clan here, wrong section. kthx.

[higach]

it is true though, race alliance is fulllll of new people asking questions usually the same ones over and over like how do I loot, how do I skin, how do I fish, why is the zap tower wtf raping me, etc etc.

[clockwork305]

Stop hating, he's right. There's constantly new players asking questions in chat or trying to smelt stone. It's nice to see.

Then play a game that is popular to the masses (www.worldofwarcraft.com)

[Lexxer]

We recruited a few brand new people as well. They were lost and confused but its kinda cool to have real newbs.

[Blumpkin Avenue]

So many EU trolls its pathetic.

They are so fucking mad there server is dead. :)

as one waiting 3 months for the transfer option so I can enjoy gameplay with better pings to the server, I will say EU-1 is far from dead

I'm not insulting EU-1, but I am curious to see how many people are in your situation.

The first wave was all the people like me who bought new accounts, but who the hell wants to pay 50 bucks for the wonderful gift of starting over... I guess im crazy.

I think the wave of people waiting the three months will be bigger than the total of all the people like me as well as the new players.

Do you think this is why most people want to transfer? I've been wondering about this. Do you want to transfer from EU1 naked and with the possibility of other restrictions to improve you game performance (ping).

Or do you want to transfer to NA1 with the hope that your skills will far out match those of the average population, giving you an advantage?

What's the motivation?

How do I repair my armor/weapons???

[Dragoon]

EU-1 has new people all the time too, always asking dumb questions. The amount of new people though isn't enough to replace the amount who leave, which is where the problem comes in at.

[Holy|TLC]

At least the "We don't play because we got rolled but still post on the forums like little bitches" population has remained unchanged eh Uzik?

[Cross02]

Lol.

No, they stopped playing because they all decided darkfall was shitty at a convenient time and have used the excused since.

We didn't want that game anyway.

[Blumpkin Avenue]

I've been reading SoTA forums quite frequently. They somehow managed to convince themselves Mortal Online isnèt a giant scam and its there savior.
Its quite entertaining to see the sheep flock.

[L-C]

All new players that ask questions should be killed as quickly as possible. If you have time, camp them at their stone.

better ping to the game server

my skills even 3 months from now will be less than those of the power gamers (which I am not) who are starting over

I did not want to work back to even my petty sub 50 earth elemental, 70ish skills in one handed clubs and parry, 100 lesser magic, 60ish greater magic

it's taken me since 2 weeks after launch to even get the above skills, along with 100 herbalism, 100 cooking, 80ish mining, 100 lumberjacking + full mastery and this also for herb gathering and 100 survivalist

I did NOT want to get all of that over again quite simply as an honest casual gamer who does not macro unattended, and while pings are inferior to the EU server the game is very much playable with a ping around 150, so I'm sticking to it in the hopes that the cost of a transfer fee will be reasonable.

[Ryaan]

I realise you guys don't like sinister or something, but do you really need to flame every post? grow up, it's getting sad.

Anyways, we have a smaller guild and i've noticed the same thing. So many new people who have never played, they're super excited etc, and it's awesome.

Flame? Stating facts isn't flaming.

lol that should be the new rick roll.

[GluttonySDS]

I heard your vent is packed... is this true?

[Gallagher]

Other game companies should pay Aventurine to make sure this game stays open. This game soaks up douchebags like a Shamwow.

[Rivers27]

50% of these new players will leave once they lose their first city, same thing that happened in EU1.

[AmonDominus]

I'd like to see some real numbers, like active accounts n shit like that.

At least Xfire shows no drastic changes over the past few days. It was the tits in the beginning of Eu1 though.
http://www.xfire.com/games/darkfall/Darkfall/

That's like 2x more ppl daily than Mu Online. Yay!

[Makestro]

Just look at the clan site for a rought estimate... since the server is what 2 days old I think every person in clans as of rightn ow are active members.

It's probably just because player cities aren't fortresses yet but I've seen a lot more people around then I did when I got into DF a month after EU-1. NA-1 will probably sustain a healthier population due to people actually being able to buy the game day one and not have to wait over a month.

I'll single handly increase the playing times on Xfire by 126hrs/week starting in an hour. Xfire doesn't mean anything, especially since the majority of the player base doesn't use it to log game hours due to drop in frame rate.

[StaticBlack]

You play games 18 hours a day?!?

[Peacekeeper]

You play games 18 hours a day?!?

he is THE darkfall fanboy. Of course he does.

[CountValor]

We picked up about 10 who never played and have a few who will probably still pay for an account just because they are bored.

Drop in frame rate only happens when Xfire-ingame is enabled, it still records the game hours when it's disabled.

[jpmoff]

It's been nice even around the starter cities.. atleast for Ork.. people not trying to jump infront of your swings at the gobos to turn you grey so everyone can rape you for pixels.. like many people did on EU..

[empa]

you recruited 20 members in a few days?

[Makestro]

It's because I'm not an ork.

Sinister is famous like Paris Hilton is famous.

They have a sweet map though.

[grayrage]

The US release brought in alot of our Alumni members. Many of whom never played or only played briefly on another member's account. I would venture to say DIE got 25 new players with the NA launch that never bought the game before. Perhaps 30.

They are also enjoying it far more then 3 months ago when it was difficult to get folks to play for more then 3 days. The changes made have really made a difference.

[The Legend]

I have to agree more and more new players come in everyday it is crazy the noob questions never end all damn day they are getting asked by many different players.

How do you goto 3rd person?

How do I blah blah blah... lol

It is nice though this new server is a lot of fun compared to EU, the new changes are really apparent when you are on a server and no one has millions of gold. Things are moving at a steady pace and crafters are actually worth something now, at least for now.

[BlysterEB]

We have about 15-20 new people that started NA that hadn't played before either. The other guilds in our alliance had a bunch of new people start as well. We've easily got twice as many people on NA than we had on EU.

[Uzik]

So I hear that speedhackers downed Baradron like 100 times and are all rich now...

[Furyos]

So I hear that speedhackers downed Baradron like 100 times and are all rich now...

I PvP'd for six hours yesterday. Never once saw a speed hacker. If there's one rich speed hacker out there, we didn't see him.

[Mulciber]

So I hear that speedhackers downed Baradron like 100 times and are all rich now...

something is happening at Baradron. I pass through that area multiple times a day and always see him at like 15% hp up in a house or in a tree even. Every time i see it I report it to a GM. That mob is so bugged it is rediculous. He should be taken out of the game till they fix him. I think he needs to get like 100% resist to his own spells.
