Why You Should Try Darkfall: Unholy Wars
Darkfall is the kind of game that scares new players away, but with the upcoming launch of Unholy Wars, I want to encourage you all to give it a shot. Now I know, I haven’t always been kind to the game, but Darkfall is something I truly feel all players – PvE and PvP alike …
Darkfall: Unholy Wars – Worst Announcement Ever
I got a fun little email this morning stating that, yup, Darkfall: Unholy Wars is a thing. And that’s pretty much all it said.
