Hello,welcome to darkfall gold!
DFOTray displays a tray icon indicating server status and plays up/down notification sounds. Full source is included with the install. I wrote this during beta and have updated it since then as things have changed, etc.
The latest version (v1.4) has been updated for the new NA server. It now shows both EU-1 and US-1 server status tray icons. EU-1 has an orange background and US-1 has a blue background (to match the main DFO web page).
See the below link to download the latest.
Make sure you get v1.4. If the page shows an earlier version, hit F5
These pre-made city sites are spread across the entirety of the world, and vary greatly in location, surrounding terrain, access to nearby resource nodes, and consequently, their ability to be defended by the owning clan. The developers expect certain sites, such as underground cave sites hidden by a waterfall, or a precipitous mountain-side location with a precarious one-way approach to be more highly coveted than other sites, adding to the potential for territorial conflict.
