Lords of Death Forums Is Darkfall worth it?

I doubt it even if I thought DF devs were compotent enough to keep their game alive for 7+ years like eve has been.. eve also benefited from no direct competition. it's still more of a niche game than DF in the sense its flight simulation MMO...

DF has much more direct competition in the type of game it is and if like you say there are more games coming out I have a hard time with any concept of this game actually growing its population.

If a game was as well designed as WoW released with FFA pvp/full loot I'm sure it could be successful. The problem is the companies who want to get these niche markets are all 3rd string or waterboy developer/companies.

I also think you meant.. start to grow.. lol.
