Darkfall got a fresh boost this week with an exclusive NDA-free look at the ongoing Beta by MMORPGItalia.it. The Italian forum delivered a positive preview of the game's mechanics and visuals, along with 25 new screenshots.

The rough translated preview dismissed the usual "vaporware" claims, reasserting that Darkfall is a bit rough around the edges but is fully playable and enjoyable:

Vaporware? Not at all! The guys here at Aventurine have great ideas to bring lots of innovations to the MMORPG's world. Fortunately they've been able to put them in practice, and Darkfall Online is an absolutely reality, and is going to come between us. Let's start from the top:

You log in, choose your preferred race between the six available, the hairstyle and so on, and you can modify everything using a lot of sliders. Then you can choose the starting area between the three available per every race, everyone is different (so there will be a total amount of 18 different starting area).

Initially the Control System seems to be a little complex, because it's absolutely different from those present in others MMORPG's titles. Anyway you can learn it in no time, it's highly clear and has an high range of personalization without much problems: you can reassign every button, but Aventurine has done a great job so you'll just need for some practice...
