I do remenber one that took place a few days ago after the expansion: It was day one or two post Hellfreeze expansion, my clan Nomads had came back into game to try it out and we decided to hit the middle dungeon, we did not knew however how "hot" inside the dungeon was. We were an eight man strong party rushing up the chains leading to the Demon Fortress in the Pall, battling our way up to the entrance, healing each others and enduring the constant magic barrage of the monsters. We healed and buffed each other and used the portal into the dungeon. When we arrived in there we scouted the area for less than a minute, then as we were taking the main corridor into the dungeons depths I took a glance back at the dungeon entrance behind us it almost left me speechless in ventrilo. Around twenty Sun menbers were entering the dungeon. I yelled and we all started sprinting down the hallways, they were filled with monsters and many times we had to kill them to be able to pass through the hallways, we kept thinking Sun would catch up on us. It was so chaotic that two of us got split from the main group, Damas and me. Both of us managed to stay away from Sun's path as they unconsciously advanced on our main group. I heard silence on ventrilo as our guys were hiding in a room and then laughter when they were spotted because of our Dwarf guildmate Beast, aparently he was too fat and his ass was sticking out of his hiding corner, making him slightly noticeable. The survivors, me and Damas, managed to bindstone recall, from a safe hiding spot, a ceiling edge on my case and Damas from behind a large pilar just below me. The rush of charging down those corridors was pretty awesome, facing monsters like the shadow spirits wich we had never seen before and even killing two other randoms who were running from us.

I got some great skill ups in addition to stealing from various other players who were caught crafting and unaware of our presence. By the end of it, we had a whole squad of people from different guild following us, eager to get their revenge. We stood our ground on a small island off the northern coast of Agon, and it was a great battle! I died pretty fast, as I'm quite unskilled at twitch games, but I still had a fun time. ~Sera You know, good question. :D

But my best moment on DFO has to be when we lost Aradoth to the Mercs, first encounter vs Magic, that was an epic day, even if my side lost ; or maybe that half and hour long fight 1v3 with banded, r10 bow and mana missile, against Order of the Blade, that I won in the early days, when everyone was a noob! Anyway, each time you fight in Darkfall, you will feel that adrenaline cause even the most noob looking char you find can turn into a raging firestorm and whipe your ass! This game is great for that, even if you choose to do the exact same stuff, you day will be totally different than the previous, adventure is everywhere, you just have to draw your story.
