Congratulations to Mortimer Skullcrusher! To Caaahl! And to ISVRaDa After a long and lengthy decision process the winners were finally cut from the pack. This was no easy matter as there were many many great entries. Unfortunately some entries, though lovely, had to be discounted as they did no...

As you probably saw in the patchnotes posted today, some fixes and Guards for Lost Connection to Server problems have been added to the game. The developers asked us to let you know that this should make this issue more rare for the ones experiencing it. Also, the message for this error has be...

This write-up comes from the AI department and specifically George Passalis senior AI programmer for Aventurine: "There were two server side bugs responsible for a lot of the confusion after the expansion launched: One had to do with the spell cool-down which was disabled and as a result they wer...

Darkfall has certainly grown since it's first steps right into bloody battle. We have seen a number of changes and developments as both the community grew and the developers tested and balanced various aspects of the maturing game-play. Today we read a very well written piece by Paragus Rants ...

Archery against mobs hasn't been effective since the expansion because of erroneously increased protections to the monsters. This is a bug and will be fixed in the next patch, possibly tomorrow. We've been talking to the AI programmers about the changes in the mobs and tomorrow we'll be posting a...

There is an hardware related issue on the NA1 AI servers which results to several monster spawns disappearing and not respawning. We are aware of this issue and we are working to resolve it ASAP.

There seems to be a misconception about our resolve on the above activities so we'll explain some of what we do: In-game exploits: Our GMs are instructed to give out warnings and to escalate temporary bans to permanent ones. This is done diligently. We get a detailed report on all activities and we...

There was some downtime during the expansion which has been reimbursed to the tune of 2 extra days to all EU server players and 1 extra day for all NA server players. The time added exceeds the actual downtime which was used to get the "Conquer the Seas" expansion up and running. We'd like to than...

Another patch addressing issues related to the latest expansion has been released. There are more to come. These are some of the noteworthy fixes: The mini map and the world-map were causing an FPS drop for some players in certain situations. This has been fixed. The Campfire is now craftable in c...

Earlier tonight there was a problem on the servers with the Sea Fortresses. The problem made it possible for more than one Clan to capture the Sea Fortress in succession. Our internal emergency triggers notified us of what was happening, and both EU and US servers made an emergency shutdown. Th...
