Darkfall is arguably the best PvP MMORPG out there. Players that haven’t experienced it will definitely be amazed by Darkfall’s real-time FPS combat style and possibilities offered by its sandbox MMO design, but might find the learning curve a bit steep compared to what they are used to.

Darkfall’s community has often stepped up to help new players kick-start their way into the game. They have compiled lists of Darkfall tips such as this one made by Asnar or the compilation by RaffRaff on the official Darkfall forums. They have also formed specialized clans  devoted to helping new players get their start in the game, like  the clan called NEW , or have made videos that expose advanced techniques for faster character development. The video series made by Val Roth is a very good example of an accelerated character development guide.

Darkfall itself has also taken many steps for helping new players, with features like newbie protection – a grace period where a new player cannot harm and be harmed by other players, the recently added newbie dungeons in racial capitals and more introductory quests aiming to get players familiarized with their new game, , as well as an extensive online manual explaining basics and more.

Using the resources above, you should be able to get a head start during the two weeks of Darkfall’s free trial.
