It's not hardcore, it's a buggy unfinished mess. The original game was even worse. The entire control mechanism is one of the least thought out, clunky pieces of crap I've seen in any game regardless of genre.
Save yourself the time and don't bother with this game, you will regret it if you even attempt to play I ensure you.

A matter of opinion
I like how Darkfall plays better than say, Skyrim
Long reach for polearm, more DPS on greatswords, situational decisions on which weapon to wield. Wish you had more swing options, its basically, swing sideways, duck to try to evade incoming hit and swing at feet or switch alternate hit and do an overhead swing.
Its really fun to knock down arrows and getting better at it
Hunted centaurs on a road with some trees giving cover alongside the road for a couple of hours yesterday with guildies. They drop arrows so you get to shoot at them for as long as youre camping them, was pretty fun.
One thing i like more than the original darkfall is how its easier to move around the map, with teleport shrines at like 10 places around the world. Also looted some runestones yesterday which acts as the EQ locket of something where u bind somewhere, with a single use though. Because of this, i wish the world was as large as the original Darkfall, but hey, its still a big world.
Whats nice for new players is you get to skill up without too much hassle. Game is not hyper populated and the low-mid spawns are often free for the taking since alot of the pop are already end game ish.
I wish they had more of a budget and could put meat on the bones faster. Still a much better game to me than it was in spring 2009
One thing i think is really bad with the game is how you cant sneak inside a player village/town without a system msg giving you away and lightning towers shooting at you. That goes against the sandboxyness of the game, and should really be replaced by guards you can possibly evade. Ideally with customizable orders like do not get pulled outside this perimeter, guard this building, stay around the workbench, etc etc
But yeah if you are gonna play casual you might as well not play, or understand itll take u a month or so before u can be useful in a pvp group
