    Good trialer, serves as a good warning to stay away from the game...

    Also, please stop comparing the game, any version of it, to EVE Online. It is an insult to EVE.

    Is this buy to play?  I actually had fun playing DF2 for a little.


    No game purchase required but there will be a plex like system so you will be able to trade in game resources for sub time. So if you enjoy and play alot you can avoid using RL $$$

    Not sure i'd go so far as to call it an insult, though its definitely misleading, i don't know how they are comparing it to Eve at all, could be based on a misunderstanding of what kind of game Eve is, and how it works. :o

    lol, eve ppl.  was just comparing it to eve b/c of local banking, global gold, local markets, territory control emphasis, no fast travel (can't teleport from one side of world/universe to the other).

    Sorry for any insults.  I'd compare it to Albion online but less people have played that.

    Only Eve does have a fast travel/teleport, its called a clone jump, can only really do it once per day though, and you have to train up infomorph technology first. ;)

    You are describing Darkfall: New Dawn, not Rise of Agon. RoA is much more like the original Darkfall with a few tweaks and improvements. New Dawn is looking to change the game fundamentally and expand upon it.

    Why would you post this video? It's a comedic video meant for veterans, not to be advertised on sites like this or subreddits.

    There are quite some veterans around here, so why not? I posted the trailer as well, before this one. 

    You made an account just to write on threads that you feel are not appropriate on this forum? In that case, you have a full time job ahead of you. :) 

    See you in Agon.

    I made an account to support the game and give it some more hype but I need to do a few things first, either way this really isn't something you should be publicly posting. It just looks bad for new players.

    Help lazy person...is there a list for whats the difference between this,the other version and the old darkfall?







    Depending on who you are and what the original version of Darkfall meant to you will determine if Rise of Agon or New Dawn will appeal to you.

    Rise of Agon:

    • United States server
    • No local banking
    • Bindstone/House recall and portal chambers
    • Increased Rays usage (magma and inferno don't share cooldowns)
    • Increased Bunny Hopping (to possibly escape zergs)
    • Meditation points can be purchased with Gold (control how fast you progress with money)

    New Dawn: 

    • European server
    • Focusing on Racial Warfare (Territory Control)
    • Less Macroing (100% global cooldown on rays, R50's, R100 ect...) 
    • Severe nerf on bunny hopping
    • Faster running speed
    • Meditation points reward from quests only (Control how fast you progress with Quests: cannot be a red player)


    If you are a Darkfall vet then New Dawn probably won't appeal to you. If you are new to Darkfall or didn't like Bunny Hopping and macroing aspects of the game then Rise of Agon wont appeal to you. Rise of Agon is staying true to the original version of the game and making improvements to keep Darkfall as it is. New Dawn is Darkfall with improvements that are adding features the game that similar the mechanics in EvE/DaoC.









    There is no more macroing in Darkfall Rise of Agon. I do use one though for having the same button pull out a sword/shield and also be able to do whirlwind with it. Macroing is gone in Darkfall, but might exist more in New Dawn beta actually? Sure they will fix it though.

    Being able to use every spell is pretty damn cool though. No longer is it macroing, easily done, and built into the games UI now.

    New Dawn has had a weapon bar in their beta for almost a year. It's a separate hotbar for weapons and tools. You also automatically equip the right weapons depending on the ability you're using, and selecting a skill also automatically causes you to wield your weapons. New Dawn is way ahead in pretty much every way, but I'm sure Rise of Agon will continue to follow their lead.

    Rise of Agon has built in weapon switching too. Right click a hotkey and click the little gear. If there's a weapon in the slot you can set it to select a hotbar on selection etc. Pretty much a macro system built into the hotbars, too much to make a tutorial about without taking pages.
