Darkfall is a pay to play MMORPG and is considered by many to be one of the best Sandbox MMO games on the market. The term Sandbox is used to describe a game that takes a free flow approach over the typical linear based MMORPG. Explore the world of Agon and experience a seamless world with a dynamic weather and sky system, intense PvP combat and a number of hardcore features such as full loot and alignments.

The character creation and progression is probably one of the most unique aspects to Darkfall Online as there are no shackles to hold you back, you can truly developer your own, unique character. There are no classes or skill restrictions, players are able to level whatever they wish, when they like. There's never a need to re-roll your character as you can make no mistakes, every skill has its use and every player can learn every skill.

Darkfall Online features a skill-based combat system that uses aimed based controls as a technique for rewarding player skill. Whether you choose to use Melee, Range or both, your personal ability is worth far more than any overly powered items or skills. This creates for a highly intense PvP environment with a complex and rewarding alignment system, mounted combat and vehicles such as siege weapons and cannons.

As well as featuring the infamous full loot rule, Darkfall Online also hosts another feature familiar to hardcore players, a player driven economy. Many games boast this nowadays but very few actually do it properly, DFO's economy is entirely player-based without any A.I input at all. This creates for interesting spikes and drops in supply and demand, giving many different types of player the chance of catching onto a trend regardless of craft choice.

The game is pay to play and requires a monthly subscription but it does offer a 14-Day Trial.
