Ten Ton Hammer Premium Members asked for it, so they got it: we sent their questions about Darkfall to Aventurine, and now we have some answers to share. In the third installment of Ten Ton Hammer's VIP Access series, Aventurine's Claus Grovdal, Tasos Flambouras, and Trond Evanger deliver the goods on their title that hopes to stretch the boundaries of the standard MMOG:

waku: What would be the reward for...epic raids...if loot is not that much of an issue in Darkfall? Perhaps keep the storyline moving along? Riches?
Aventurine: There are no instances or traditional “raid” content like you have in other MMOs. We try to steer clear of anything limiting the multiplayer experience. That said, we have epic monsters like dragons and demons which require large numbers to defeat and include epic loot.
You guys and your enthusiasm are infectious. I have no business being interested in this game because I don't like PvP much, but it's beginning to get under my skin.
Edited to note: I am very impressed with these answers. They were straight to the point and addressed the questions directly. It doesn't read much like marketing spin at all.
I have to say, I was very impressed with the answers Aventurine gave in that they seemed very straight up with a remarkable absence of spin. Kudos to them for telling it like it is.
