Claus Grovdal Interview

RPGDot has posted an interview with Claus Grovdal, Producer/Lead Designer for the upcoming MMORPG, Darkfall Online. An excerpt to follow:

    Q: What will be done for those who don't enjoy PvP? What would you say to people to rid them of the fear that the game will not become a 'gank fest' that drove so many customers away from UO?

    A: If you dont like pvp, Darkfall may not be the right game for you. However, since the game is so heavily focused on clans ruling kingdoms, and almost every ingame items such weapons and armor can be made by players, we think that those that would rather stay out of the pvp can find tons of entertainment as traders or crafters in Darkfall in exchange for protection by a ruling clan. The biggest clans will need crafters and traders - and they will need lots of them to be successful. If you consider yourself a prime blacksmith of magical weapons, or a hard working farmer, growing food and rare herbs in your fields, clans will do all they can to get you to join them.
