How he says it...and what it means...

"Hello,

I thought to quickly check in before too much more time passes. As we step up publishing activities, the updates should increase in frequency and quality, which should make up for the ones we’ve been missing the last months. We take for granted sometimes that the Darkfall community is savvy enough to understand the limitations of independent game development and make allowances, however we’re also keeping track of what we need to give you in order for you to know exactly what you’re getting into with Darkfall.

On progress, there are no major problems to report, some minor delays maybe here and there which don’t affect our timeline. Most of us had a short break, the last for a long time. Everyone is back and we officially entered into our crunch period on Monday. We’ve had several new people join the company the past month, and more on the way.

There's a video coming out, most probably next week, or shortly after. We’re talking about a long 100% in-game pure gameplay trailer with no scripting, no simulation, no post-processing. It’s us play-testing while fraps is running on free cameras and playercams and all the footage was collected and edited. The scenarios for it had to be run as part of our testing and development schedule as they came up. Nothing is scripted. We wanted to give you something that can put you in the true spirit of the game and this requires us to be actually playing the game like you would be, and not just taking you on a sightseeing tour or have a company make a marketing cinematic trailer for us.

If you're experiencing problems with the website and the forums it's because these days we're upgrading our webservers and this should be going on most of next week as well. Thank you for your patience.

Our next update would be the video, so until then, thanks for reading"

 

Sounds like a lot of 'shoulda, coulda, wouldas' to me.  Anytime ANYONE speaks/writes in this type of language promotes only one thing....uncertainty.  "Most probably" and "shortly after" are all keywords of uncertainty.  They're preying on the community's need for information but eluding any commitment.

seems like you are really grasping at things.  the use of the word "should" isn't that terrible, its used all the time in updates for games all across the board, not just MMOs.

Seriously are we now breaking down posts from developers and picking up every non committed word?  For starters the guy is Greek and he is writing in a different language and he wrote it like most people do when writing a post.  Are we going to see posts saying he doesn't exist at all and its a massive ploy?  geeeesshhh

All the statements are in good faith and in teh context of a development cycle, people who don't understand this and wan't to take the words literally are well for a better want of word ignorant. As simple as that. But these people can stay that way it's no skin off the noses of people who understand...
