    I don't think anyone seriously believes the game will be released in 2008. The best we can hope for is that they will have an open beta prior to Jan.1, 2009. If they produce a beta by the end of December - rejoice! If not... some fanbois will lose interest in the game, others will turn troll, some will keep the faith, and new fanbois will come along, full of interest in the game.

    Not a bad deal actually.  You can pay the government cash to cover your tax debt, or you can invest money.  If your investment takes off, great you have more money.  If it doesnt take off, great, you can write off the loss and not have to fork over cash to the gov.  Either way you get something for your money.

     

    True that. In this case, it seems to be a win-win situation. From Surly's article - "Shame it's not on Aventurine/Darkfall's site for easy access, but better trashed and scattered than left up for guess work."

    Yeh, well if they don't want to release something "worse then vaporware", then they probably SHOULD keep delaying and delaying and delaying.  Hey, maybe we are on to something here.  I think that you just figured out the big secret as to why this game will NEVER come out! Ding, Ding, Ding! Give this guy a "vapor cookie" as a prize!

    Aye, give him a prize. But shall we take the mental illness with trolls once more?

    really? Then why are the core producers of Darkfall over at Aventurine still operating Razorwax to this day as board members / co owners?


    Chairman of the Board Jade El Mehdawi Jade El Mehdawi    
    Daglig leder General Manager Eirik Gunnar Helland Mr Gunnar Helland    
    Styremedlem Board member Anastasios Flampouras    
    Styremedlem Board member Spiridon Iordanis    
    Styremedlem Board member Claus Hågensen Grøvdal Claus Hågensen Grøvdal    
    Styremedlem Board member Ricki Michael Sickenger Ricki Michael Sickenger

     

    It's one big circle jerk.  Spiridon Iordanis  and Anastasios (Tasos) Flampouras are both listed an owners in Aventurine.



     

    You're looking at a legal fiction. They have to maintain it until all the bankruptcy claims are settled. Razorwax is shut down. They haven't filed a financial statement since 2006.

    Don't point out the obvious it is ammusing reading the rubbish the trolls try to spin...
