Many MMOGs can hold up to thousands of players at the same time. Darkfall is no exception. Moreover Darkfall can hold even more player than any other game of its type.
Players have total freedom in Darkfall as there are no restrictions on player interaction imposed by the game developers. There are no safezones, no marked battleground, no factions, or any other blocks to limit your actions. You can fight anyone coming in your way, so long as you are able to face the consequences brought by Darkfall's alignment and the player reputation system.
In Darkfall people meet to collaborate, if not to challenge each other. You won't keep an item with you for ever, unless you are willing to take whatever risk it may bring you.
Massive cities can be built by yourself, or can be looted from others. To do the later, join an alliance and wage war on your enemies. Clan influence and fight on territorial control never stop.
Politics and diplomancy are also crucial elements in Darkfall. New alliances form and old ones break down daily, resulting in a power shift within the political world.
Clan leaders are free from the tedious and dull tasks and fix their focus on the real challenges. Advanced clan management tools will do all those tedious work.
