Darkfall is a fantasy-based MMOG developed by Aventurine S.A., a studio based out of Greece. Originally conceived by a company called Razorwax based out of Norway, Aventurine S.A. and Razorwax eventually merged into one company.

Combining real-time strategy and action to the standard features of the MMOG genre, Darkfall features PvP and massive PvP battles, including horseback and naval battles. Victories are documented for posterity and success is measured so that there is never a question as to what really happened. There are no safe zones and all you have to protect you is skill and the people you have watching your back. Anyone can fight anywhere, but be prepared to face the consequences. When killed, players drop lootable items. Diplomacy, politics, trade agreements and even a legal system are all supported by the game.

Players can choose from one of the six available races. The class system does not conform to the traditional MMOG model and allows players to simply customize their avatar to be what they want.
