One thing that makes Darkfall so enjoyable are the huge battles and sieges, here is a video done by Brian (Forrest Gump) showcasing a nice battle.
But even with such an awesome PVP system, there are flaws:
Game Gripes so Far: One gripe so far about the game is some error I get "Out of Virtual Address Space", I have 4 GB of ram and a quadcore. My page file size is just fine, I think this is a programmatical issue, Adventurine programmers need to do better garbage collection I think to free up some memory resources. I have gotten rolled because of this :(.
Game Crash or Server Shutdown doesn't save input bindings, bag/item location in inventory or bank, and screws your map annotations. Some annotations are all removed entirely. Come on guys! Even UO did a better job of keeping your bank organized and wouldn't screw up basic things like that. I can understand that they are probably freeing up resources by storing organization info on the local machine, but at least save it periodically and not only on proper logout.
Lack of drop in bag feature, if you are fighting monsters like Doom Spiders for Ash and Sulfur, it would be nice that when you loot them you could just drop the materials right into a bag so it auto groups instead of how it works now. Obviously this spans beyond just materials, but can get annoying, especially when you are trying to keep you inventory clean.
