A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Before you enter.
What is DFO Online (dfoonline)?
DFO Online is the open-source browser multiplayer project behind this client. If you searched for dfoonline, this is an independent Daggerfall Online integration, with separate service configuration and no shared upstream accounts. Our multiplayer service is not open yet.
Is this the official Daggerfall website?
No. This is an independent community project based on the open-source DFO Online client. We are not Bethesda, ZeniMax, or the upstream development team.
Do I need the original game?
You need your own Daggerfall data files. The original is available free on Steam. Our client reads the files you select locally; we do not provide ARENA2.
Can I play with friends right now?
Our independent multiplayer service is not open yet. Dual-device gameplay, saves, and recovery still need verification.
Can I use a phone or tablet?
The client includes touch controls. Start in landscape and use Open full page if needed. Mobile compatibility is still being tested; desktop Chrome or Edge is the initial baseline.
