While is been some time now since we stoped to play Darkfall online for verious reason i finally got around to check some old recordings and had a decent film lying around so what not make it public! enjoy
And in other news everyone now needs to make an account to comment on the site as chines spambots will have far to much fun if we let it be a free thing
This weekend 23 july we in Kompaniet will gather in Gothenburg for a party/lan to celibrate our 10 year (!) anniversary, yea you heard right, it's been ten years of gaming for us and we are still going strong and are growing in members count like never before. And to share some of our joy we will hand out some wallpapers for you to stare your self blind at.
BTW why not drop by with a beer and say hi on Saturday! (möldalsvägen 30a, hit the aktuelldata button at the entrence)
We have been playing this game since start now and its still loads of fun fighting other top teams like Intrepid, pain & animosity etc. Yesterday was teh D-day as We along with our alliance put down a "Forge" to start production toward a European zone victory! After 1H and around 50 min we entered the last fight on this action packed zone (best in the game according to most people) vs intrepid A-team the finest of them all in terms of competition. The game didnt have to go full time, in fact after 2/3 into the game the alliance chat sprung out in a big "GGs" "WIN!!" cry-out as Mpire won the zone. How did the match vs intrepid go then you ask? well check out the movie made below!
The developers have been in preparation for the next big and game changing patch for some time now and when 1.3 comes (1-2 weeks maybe) it will almost be a new game. But what we care most about is the hopefully continued action-packed PVP matches ahead with new rule & changes to tryout and adapt to. Cu in 1.3!
On February 1st GA launches.
We've been playing it for almost a month now and we like the casual feeling and quick action of the game. But will it make it in the long run? Will AvA be as fun as it could and should be? We're not sure at the moment but we are enjoying ourselves just messing around and wtfpwning (as Makire would've said) stuff .
In any case, the pre-launch will start on January 28th and will continue until launch and we hope to see you guys there! More info on this here.
Also, we will be starting an alliance with old acquaintances and cool people, if you want to be apart of it drop us a line on our GA-forum.
Kompaniet would like to wish everyone a merry christmas and a happy new gaming year!
We hope this christmas will fill our bellies with marvelous food so we have the strength to get serious about gaming in 2010.
On the near horizon we have Global Agenda which some of us already have pre-ordered and will play come the february 1st release.
We hope to see you guys there or in some other marvellous teamplay game!
Just thought I should update some, we're all lazy as hell but we always game something .
Some of us began playing Aion at release (EU server Spatalos) and now others have started as well. The squad is growing with both old timers coming back as well as new faces and we're having fun with pvp both flying and not thus far.
If you're swedish and want to join we recommend admitting an application in the Aion forum.
According to the monthly newsletter it seems like GA will be free to play except if you want to engage in clan/alliance gameplay.
Whether or not this will divide the scene significantly or just be a great way to keep playing - even if you've spent all your cash on beer and women - remains to be seen.
We'll also get a free month with the purchase so that will be a good way to try it out and see if it's worth paying the extra riksdaler for.
Global Agenda: Conquest ($12.99 per month, $11.49/mo for 3 month, $9.99/mo for 6 month) includes:
* Access to Alliance vs. Alliance (AvA) World Domination gameplay
ATLANTA, Oct. 20, 2009 - Global Agenda players will be able to experience the major features of the game after a one time purchase via digital download or box sale, with no monthly subscription required.

"Throughout our Beta process, our fans, players and reviewers have consistently told us that Global Agenda's combat system is exceptionally fun and that they would love to play it as a multiplayer shooter" said Todd Harris, Executive Producer. "This single-purchase, non-subscription model will enable players to fully experience Global Agenda’s award-winning persistent shooter gameplay."
"At the same time, many players are seeking a deeper experience, and want to engage in large-scale campaigns between player-created groups over limited territory and resources.

Global Agenda is currently in closed beta testing and scheduled to be development complete by the end of this year toward a Q1 2010 release.
As you may have noticed, it says that you can play "through 30 levels" on the free side. We asked Todd specifically about this and he reassured us that the max level of 30 (which has not been announced prior to this) is in effect for both the free side and the sub side. In fact, they made sure not to hinder essential gameplay mechanics on the free side, and this is just an example of that.
Some of our other concerns focused on the balance between sub and non-sub players. Yes, a non-sub player can join an agency with subbed players, with the option at any time to sub-up to join their friends in battle. Yes, subbed players can join their non-sub friends at any time in the instanced battles.
Kompaniet would like to wish everyone a happy Midsummer's Eve and hope everyone will stuff their bellys with raw fish (sill) and high powered alcohol (nubbe) today!
On other news; we're still playing Darkfall Online and Battlegrounds most of us and others are chilling in the summer rain.
Always looking for new games on the horizon though, the ever ongoing quest to find the perfect teamplay game will probably take us a while tho to complete. So don't expect any level ups here soon!
European zone victory! After 1H and around 50 min we entered the last fight on this action packed zone (best in the game according to most people) vs intrepid A-team the finest of them all in terms of competition.
