no there is no free trail..
Besides that.. you pay 50 dollars for the game including 30 days playtime.. but the game is still in beta fase..
There is alsmost zero content
Tbh.. you should try this game in a year orso.. if the company still lives
The tip for
The win is
cooperation.
I wish they would offer a $1 free trial for 14 days or something. I am curious about this game too.
I know that there is full-loot and full-PVP. Are there "safer" zones, like in EVE?
Do items have durability and need to be repaired?
How many players are typically online?
Yes there are safezones..
Yes items have durability...
I think the eu server is somewhat 500 players or less.. the na server prolly around 1.5k players
Game is slowly dying
Thank you for the answers:
Can items be repaired, or are they replaced when broken?
items break.. no repairing
I would say there are more people than that playing as server costs in a game such as DFO cannot be supported with that few of players. Game is "slowly" dying yet 100s of people show up to every siege. IMO, on AVG, you'll have around 2.5k active subs on the NA sever, with another 1k-2k in lurker mode (show up to sieges, sea towers, etc). Since the game only has 2 servers, this is enough of a player base to make it somewhat active, but it needs to be more than that.
As to the comments about "AAA" company, a AAA company will not create a game like this. Its too niche. The MMO market, in terms of making money, are games like GW2 and that will be the case for a very long time because, lets face it, people don't like pure PvP games, games where you lose gear and time, or FPS style MMORPGs. That's why all the more active games being released on the market are more like MOBA style combat games (think smite) and factional based warfare with no death penalty.

If AV was confident in people sticking around they'd have a free or deeply discounted option.
Where have all the "good" shills gone?
Steam has sold the game 2x at 15 bucks during sales. 1 dollar accounts are just a gold farmers paradise.

They could easily make it so that trials account cannot trade, drop loot when they die, or drop loot from other players. Or to preserve a certain degree of penalty for dying as should be expected in a FFA PvP game with Full Loot, although loot would not be dropped, it would be destroyed upon death for trial accounts. We could go into even more details to cover all the possible exploits, and ensuring that players are given rewards for killing without exploiting, etc.
There are many ways to go about this, AV decided they'd rather have people to pay without trials, likely for the reasons ilives stated; AV is not confident in their product, and for good reasons, it's a complete mess.
Every other MMO on the planet manages to offer free trials and apparently DFUW already has a gold seller problem. Next...

Sadly, the game is nothing like Shadowbane. Btw. http://shadowbaneemulator.com/

Every other game on the planet isn't a pvp focused MMO either and DF:UW doesn't have more of a gold seller problem than any other game on the market, its just felt more because its a PvP centric MMO.

I sort of agree with you and sort of don't.
Lineage is pure PvP but it's popular enough to be called mainstream.
If DFUW had all the features of the original DF with the UI of DFUW, I think it might have had a chance to become mainstream because 100% solo exploration would be possible.
It's the lack of solo exploration as a profession that kills this game.
How is that even remotely relevant? Hell, even DF1 had free trials!

Darkfall Free Trial
Today we’re launching Darkfall’s first free trial offer. You can try Darkfall for 14 days for free without obligation.After our experience with the 1 euro/dollar trial and after several further improvements we feel that we’re ready to offer a free trial which won’t disrupt the current user experience and will help with making the game available to a larger playerbase and getting new players into the game.

And they ended that program eventually.Look, I don't care if they add a free trial or not, I just think it would be stupid given the nature of the game and the problem with alts.

Your excuses for why they don't /shouldn't have a free trial don't hold any water, as proven above. Thanks for stopping by

You also do know how long it took them to release free trials in DFO right?

The best way to implement a trail is what everyone else does with trial char.
Now Playing: DARKFALL Unholy Wars "Return to Open World, Full Loot PvP, Conquest in a Sandbox MMO with player driven economy! Just like classic MMOs!"
And? Your original point was they couldn't have a free trial because it's a "pvp focused game and gold farmers, now you're back peddling to some random time frame after release? Also, DFUW is already having population issues and launched with a fraction of what DF1 did.
Btw, it was 7 months until DF1 had $1 trials, DFUWs been out for 9+.
