Darkfall has been designed as a full-loot PvP game from the outset, which enable players to fully loot other players of their gear and gold in person. A player looting other players is an ability which has been factored into the game as an important facet of the RIS-like logistical mete-game between warring clans.
There is a significant difference between darkfall and other games, such as World of Warcraft and EverQuest II. That is the ability to fully loot other players. The primary driving force for player character improvement is the quest for better gear while in Darkfall, character skills are the primary driver of character improvement and gear also plays a larger role of determining a player character’s overall power.
In Darkfal friendly and collision detection are effective. Darkfall's combat is expected to provide a more realistic combat experience than other fantasy MMORPGs. The developers have stated that historically successful battle formations and tactics will come into use in Darkfall.
