The team behind Darkfall Unholy Wars announced its one year anniversary via its forums yesterday. One notable part of the announcement is the ability to play for free. The game retails at EUR 19.95 so this makes it a fantastic opportunity for new players to demo the game before purchasing. We have attached the announcement below.
This week marks the one year anniversary for Darkfall Unholy Wars. To celebrate, we’ve organized an extended party weekend between May 1st and May 5th. During this time everyone’s invited to play Darkfall Unholy Wars for free and to participate in Anniversary activities – whether you’re a returning player or someone who has never tried it before. Details can be found below along with our Anniversary Video.
The Year in Review
It has been an exciting year, full of challenges to stay true to our vision for Darkfall Unholy Wars as a leading sandbox PvP MMOPRG featuring the most epic massive battles. After a few setbacks we’re back on track and committed on delivering features and content true to the vision:
Player and Clan Markets reinforced our player driven economy. The new Duel System was celebrated by the first of many Official Tournaments. The new Territory Control System has clans competing for political and strategic power.
Spanning 51 content patches over the past year we’ve given our players features, systems, and content to be excited about, including new roles and schools to experience, new dungeons to explore, new ships to maneuver, environmental enhancements to immerse themselves in the world and much more.
We are committed to following up with regular content patches featuring important additions, including the new Custom Role System, the Alignment System and Siege Engines.
Our latest patch
Keeping on course in our current patch we’ve implemented Armor Dyes and the new Mentor System:
The Mentor System is designed to help new players make it through the first few hours of Darkfall Unholy Wars by pairing them up with an experienced veteran. Mentors are rewarded through prowess points and the opportunity to recruit new talent ahead of the competition. The game benefits from the new blood.
Armor Dyes help create a distinguished look for your characters, and for clans to sport their own team colors in battles. There are 30 different colors to choose from. More will be added. For more details on armor dyes, click here.
We invite you to test the new content and to bring your friends using the three buddy keys that you are entitled to with your active subscription. Here are the details how.

Nexon Europe have just released their United Eleven beta website. They have revealed that the upcoming football management simulator will begin beta testing on 15th May.
The website currently contains news, information on upcoming events, carries the official United Eleven forum and Facebook pages, as well as an introduction to give you a chance to learn the mechanics before you start.
Developed by NHN BlackPick Corporation, United Eleven is a browser-based, and mobile-compatible title. I think this will help keep it popular. You manage your team by recruiting, training, and substituting players. Team chemistry plays a vital role in the game, with certain players matching with each other based on a variety of stats and key factors. Obviously you need to put some thought into your team if you want to do well.
You can also change tactics while on the move is key to becoming victorious and this can only be done by paying attention to the match simulator. The real-time simulation represents moves of the players in meticulous detail, letting you see exactly who is going where and doing what and enforcing the ability to make quick decisions.
“We’re thrilled to be bringing all the promising football fans the management game that they’ve been waiting for,” says Kenny Chang, CEO of Nexon Europe. “With beta testing starting on 15th May, players can construct ultimate football teams with their own tactics taking into consideration every factor including how well matched players within a team are.”
