Anybody heard of or excited about Darkfall? (MMORPG)

In closed technicial beta now (in company I believe)

Website - check out some of the interviews

Looks to be really really cool. 100% PvP, build/destroy cities ala shadowbane, no classes, no levels, only skills that progress with use.

Designers claim the world to be "the largest ever" of course, I've seen a few claim this that are coming out soon so I don't know, but at least it will be big.

Fighting will "require player skill" and not just character skill. This is a big point, I think this means the fighting will be more like Asheron's Call 1 where you actually have to aim and stuff instead of Shadowbane, where a higher level will almost always own a lower level and all you have to do is target and click.

Another thing is you get to design your own house (and/or boat!!). Not just build and own one, DESIGN it.
 
I haven't play SW:G but from what I hear the people that follow this say, nothing like it. Mostly the pvp part I assume.

The devs are really involved in the community too, which is a good thing.

Quote from a dev last night:
"We have no crashes, We simulated 1000 moving objects in a tiny village and the servers handled it perfectly"

It's not even in beta yet (soon) but this bodes well I hope.

Looks interesting. No PvE at all, though?

Yeah there is PvE to up your skills if you must, and early on also.

But the world is 100% PvP meaning you can be attacked anyplace at anytime.
 
Ah, ok. Just wanted to clarify. That is rather brave of them to make the game like that, best I have heard of from others is a server or two dedicated to PvP.

The devs say they want 10,000-20,000 people per server, with 10k about optimal. There are rumors that they will start with one server only, then make a second if there is demand for it.

I think that would be great, I mean Shadowbane would have been a lot better had they not split it up so much at the beginning.**

**Shadowbane ended up not being able to handle even 700 or so people on at once anyway so no biggie.
