Since the beginning of Darkfall we have been really busy and have some notable accomplishments:
1) First to form a guild.
2) First to plant a city.
3) First to defeat a major zerg (The rainbow alliance)
Our current influence (Blue Dots):

This morning Darkfall Online actually came… Online. Despite some syncing issues that the devs are aware about, we were able to secure creating the first guild in the game, and the first player city in the game. Stay tuned, it is estimated by the end of the day we will have beat the game and moved onto something new.
It was recently announced that Darkfall Online’s NDA has been lifted. LoD has been a part of Darkfall beta since its earliest beta stages. So we only thought it would be fair to give you a Darkfall review LoD style. Is this really the end all PK\Warfare mmorpg? Did the devs keep all their promises? Does LoD share their hacks with the public? Does Captain Negative wear a cape? All this these questions and more will be anwsered after the video…

AoC has been fun. PvP is great, but you can’t loot, right? Wrong. Sometimes you just need to be creative. Sometimes you need to exploit mass recruiting guilds that add anyone to their guild bank access. Sometimes the stars align to make MMO’s fun again.
Day 1 @Apes
Here’s the victim in question…his name is Kegtoss and he one of the leaders of Affliction. Kegtoss was encroaching on our grind spot. Nothing new here, PK and begin the trash-talk.
(Nice website guys: http://www.afflictionaoc.com/)
Day 2 @Apes
But wait…maybe he’d rather join us.

(The definition seems “sorta” close)
Until threatened of course…

(The crew exploiting the ape quest xp grind)
MAN DOWN.

(Seriously, only posers wear Affliction t-shirts)
Again…

(Gebus aka Luke the 1st (long grown up since his 14-year-old-days-of-torture in the Trinsic swamp at the hands of Lucent-dache) and Pujols (Max) actually got bored of the PK action)

(Did our friends @Lucid Vision get to this guy?)
Most Stories End Here..
This is where the juicy part begins. Read on for a tale of l00tz.

(In summary, we recruited away a disgruntled employee who wreaked some havoc on his way out the door)
Evidence of the crime…

This helps greatly because LoD sucks at mining. (Tier 2 Keep here we come).
Affliction, you now have the honor of being LoD’s first guild-victim in AoC.
I don’t know what is more unbelievable…
An update on our website or the announcement of Diablo III. Well, its true my friends, the long long long long awaited successor of my favorite Blizzard game of all time, Diablo II, has been announced.
So far, they have only announced two character classes: the familiar Barbarian, and the newly unveiled Witch Doctor. They’ve revamped the character skills and created a 3D interactive environment… Thats right, interactive. You can smash walls and tables, and even used them to destroy enemies. No word on PvP, but if you are familiar with the Diablo series, then you know not to set expectations too high in that area.
The official Blizzard website for Diablo III, is done in flash with a movie trailer and a quick demo of the gameplay. It also contains skill demo’s for each of the classes, screenshots, a map of the lands and an FAQ page.
Don’t expect this game anytime soon, but know its on the horizon, and check the website for updates. I still have my old D2 Sorc and Barb, so maybe its time to fire up the old Diablo II for a little nostalgic fun.
