Darkfall’s Chaos Chest #10

As with our in game Chaos Chests you’ll never know what you get!
It’s hard to keep up with updates and interesting happenings in game and around the forums. But fret not, the community liaisons are here to help.

We will recap on a regular basis to make sure you don’t miss any important information.
Additionally we will pick a few examples of the many interesting reads around the forums. (If you think a specific thread or event is worth mentioning contact any of the liaisons. Keep in mind though that we are looking at suggestions directly on the forums, there is no need to send links about them to make a stronger point.)

Player created events

  • Instant PVP Action:
    EU-1 player Fenix Lightflight has bought 2 hamlets, allowing everyone to bind there and essentially creating a new Darkfall Arena, offering lots of PVP opportunities for everyone. You can read more about this here.
  • NA-1 Racial Wars:
    The event the whole server was waiting for, featuring a huge Good (Humans / Mirdains / Dwarves) vs Evil (Alfars / Orks / Mahirims) fight was very successful, with a big attendance and lots of PvP. A short summary of the event, along with multiple PoV footage can be found here.
Official Events

A new official events “battle plan” is being designed as we speak, so stay tuned for more information!

The battle for Agon

  • EU-1
    There have been a handful of sieges at EU-1, with the one causing the most controversy being SUN defeating NoCry over Bloodscar. Other sieges that took place include Rehnagar and Eslingar, and as we predicted before, major battles take place almost daily around the center of Agon.
  • NA-1
    NA-1’s biggest siege during the last couple of weeks took place at Cairn’s most wanted hamlet, Tenaland. Cool Sweet Lemonade alliance fought with LoD over it, with the battle expanding in half the continent of Cairn. Roaming parties made it hard for both of the parties, but in the end CSL emerged victorious.

We are interested in finding neutral players who would like to work with us on a weekly basis to update the community on general war happenings on both servers. You can send a pm to any of the community liaison if you are interested. Please state why you would be a good candidate to comment and update us on happenings we might miss. Thank you!

  • Lux Arcana have posted a video recapping their siege at Quarendel Hamlet. We especially enjoyed the music, a refreshing change from the music other videos were sporting.
  • Dirty Sjouks made a PvP compilation video, showing various fights against multiple opponents.
