How To Look Good Naked, With Gok Wa... Sorry, I Mean; Feoren Lannis

Darkfall (DF) is a Sandbox MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online RolePlaying Game)(And sandbox means that you build your gaming world. You do whatever you want with very few limitations). It is set in a medieval/fantasy world, and you, as a fighter can travel it's lands doing whatever you want. Be it, make houses, kill players or wage wars for glory.
It is very similar to Mortal Online, just with slightly different concepts and play styles.

Ventrillo is a software that is used so people across the internet can communicate to each other through voice/microphone.
In Darkfall, there are several races that you can choose to be. I am a human.
Alfars are an enemy race to the Humans.

My name ingame is Noxite Morelle, and the other 3 dudes are some guildies of mine. (A guild is like an online team. We group together, have one leader and are able to communicate with each other very easily)
We're all pretty new to the game except Devi, who has been a long time casual player.
Wolfberry Runelode (A dwarf)
Feoren Lannis (the guy who organised the trip)
Devi Ante (cool tag-along)

How To Look Good Naked, With Gok Wa... Sorry, I Mean; Feoren Lannis

Now, Feoren Lannis doesn't have much tolerance for losing his gear, so he's invented this thing called a "Naked Trip". He runs all the way to the enemy lands, completely naked and tries to gear himself up from killing as many enemy players as he can.
Fun or what, eh? So me, Wolfberry Runelode and Devi Ante decide to tag along with him this time. So we all strip our armour off and bank it, then start out on our trek to the Alfar lands.


Four guys, running naked, sticking together. Sounds gay, I know... But this is the way Feoren likes it.
Feoren's formula: Less stuff = less risk + more challenge. More challenge = more fun. Less risk = win.

So all four of us are running, running, running, keeping ears open for any sign of an enemy close by, hitting each other for the fun of it, etc, etc. When finally we reach a small area that is pretty dense with big rocks and alien-looking plants/trees.

The 'Public' chat bar starts flickering green; two enemies are nearby duelling, we look into the distance and we can see them sitting down on the floor resting and sharing a bit of the "GG, Nice fight" chat. All four of us hide behind a tree to see who they are and whether we could take them, when a THIRD enemy comes riding up to them. Now, sure, there's four of us, but we're NAKED, and they are fully geared. So we figure that we don't really have any chance and we decide to go back, and go around them. But just as we turn around, the enemies suddenly spot us and start running towards us! Quickly, we shout on Ventrillo to run into the dense area and each pick a hiding spot.

We all either hide behind some random bush or a rock etc, and we're all pretty far apart from each other. We sit there for a little while wondering if the enemies are going to ambush us and pick us off one by one. So Devi Ante says in public chat: "Hello" "We come in peace".

Great! Now they'll think that we're some roleplaying naked faggots, looking for a spot in the wilderness to have some bum-fun together! Nice one Devi!


However, there is no reply from the enemy and we sit there thinking that they are keeping their mouths shut while they try find us in these bushes. Suddenly, somebody gets attacked! THE ENEMIES HAVE FOUND US! So we all jump out of the bushes running around to see where the hell they all are! It took us a good 10 seconds to work out that we've been hiding all this time in a raptor nest! And it wasn't the enemies attacking, it was a fucking raptor! So we all get our bows/weapons and try to kill this raptor, while Wolfberry is running as fast as he can on his little dwarven legs away from this raptor! Unfortunately, these raptors are pretty damn fast and it pretty much rapes Wolfberry, striking him down to the ground. Next, the raptor comes after me! I start running around, shooting it but my naked body is no match for this god damn raptor, and it instantly kills me! So now I'm hit with this loading screen while I'm being teleported back to my hometown of Copperdale and listening to all this "OH SHIT" "THIS WAY, THIS WAY" "KEEP RUNNING" "SHOOT THE GOD DAMN THING" "UH-OH ANOTHER RAPTOR INCOMING!!!" over Ventrillo. Then suddenly it goes all silent.


I ask "Did we kill it? How many of us are still alive??". To which I get the reply: "None of us, we're all dead."


Shit... We just spent 30 minutes running all the way to the Alfar lands, EXPECTING to be murdered by some enemies sooner or later, but we all end up being raped by a bunch of frigging raptors.


If there is anything we learnt today, it's that; There is no such thing as "Peace" in Darkfall.


"We come in peace"

Devi Ante's last words.
