This wasn't about Darkfall hype going up, it's about Darkfall fans knocking every other game down
Sounds like they arent interested in those games then huh? Which is what hype would be trying to measure...
If the games you are talking about have enough hype to be on there, im sure its fanbase will hype it up more. DF's hype has gone up in huge amounts the last week, and i guarentee you that is not because of some plan on the official forums alone...it is because people are actually seeing the video, reading up on it, and discovering a game they would like.
Thank you personal defender of Darkfall, you know everything. I'm sure the hype has gone up not because people are finding out about darkfall, but because they saw the video and thought "OMG IT EXISTS!"
Is it just me or do you sound a little bitter?
Aye i agree, Darkfall excists and many seem to have opened up their eyes for the game and given the game the proper vote on the hypemeter.
For real though? WTF is the Hype meter beef? and how will it effect your enjoyment of the game? HAHAHA so funny that this is even a topic. I'm sure many here have trashed the hype meters.
Stargate worlds has gone down .05 in a pair of days also, so did Aion, and yes, those are darkfall fans hyping down everything and creating new accounts to keep hyping the other games down and hyping darkfall up.
Nice to see the so called veterans acting all mature.
That's just too hilarious. I bet you wish you could put "MMO VET!!" on your resume, don't you?
Pathetic.

Wait... we're not suppose to list "MMO Vet" on resume's? SHIT. I've got some phone calls to make... that may explain why my monster.com resume also hasn't been getting many hits... I guess they don't have many positions available for my technical skills.
Vet's get benefits right? Hmmmmmm....
"And after blizzard takes over the world, they are gonna gather a bunch of lemmings, sit on their fat asses near a cliff, and watch the little fuzzy bastards suicide dive into the ground below. . . . . all just for their own entertainment."

gotta love when people make points like this. gameplay being dated and 10 years old? how can gameplay be old especially in an mmorpg. I guess that means war and WoW have even older gameplay since they have perfected what EQ1 started doing.
Big compliment that now instead of calling it vaporwarez, people are attacking it for having "dated gameplay". Hmm guess i should not buy Madden 09' because the gameplay is so old...i mean there were football games on the atari for crying out loud!
Gameplay can be old due to poor animations and clunky looking combat, it looks rediculous. Something like a Quake mod =/. Heck there are better animated FPS mods for hl2 with completely custom models by amateur developers.
It isn't the system itself, it's how it looks.
And to be honest, i was being sarcastic in my first post because of the darkfall fans behaviours and excuses.
Graphics aren't important! gameplay is!
Gameplay isn't important! The systems in the world is!
and yes, There is a difference to marking down darkfall because of vaporware, and marking down another game so another has higher hype.
It's a dirty sleezy tactic to present a false hype ratio.
If you ever thought that the hypemeter here on MMORPG.com been accurate, then i just dont know what to say.
These kind of behaviour have most likely been happening to Darkfall more then to other games.
Darkfall stands for a change where we go from the mainstream carebear games we can see in all sizes and colours too a game with some depth to it and a consequencal gameplay where it matters how you as a player succeed. You actually have to think in games like Darkfall, a huge step forward if you'd ask me.
Darkfall is most likely the game on that hypemeter that been voted down the most by those brainwashed carebear followers.
Reread your post you toitally contradict yourself, the systems make the gameplay same thing. I guess they could go to the AOC model beef up the graphics and have 6 people in 40 instances instead of 240 on one !!!
Think on ....
Oh wow! 240 in one! that's such a shock, i mean like, this is impossible for any game to do. zomgz, let's go back to 10 yr old graphics so we can handle this!
for a FPS(which is what darkfall is right? or is it now a racing game?). It looks clunky, i can't say if it plays clunky, i got bored watching the vid so i may have missed someone actually playing it, since gods eye staged vids simply aren't that interesting.
It looks clunky, the battles look clunky, the models look clunky, the attacks look clunky, everything looks clunky and old.
If you say it doesn't your jaded.
Heck i'd say wow LOOKS better, and it was released 4 years ago, and people said it looked old when it was new.
How much of a exception are you going to make for a game you want?
A game is a game is a game.
It doesn't matter if 1 guy made, 10 guys made it, or 100 guys made it.
So what your saying is that all the other video's that developers make for the public are not staged? Only the Darkfall video is staged?
Really? You can't really believe that? Every video that is made by a company to promo their game is staged my friend, maybe you need to live in the real world like the rest of us.
Why even argue with someone like this? This is the perfect example of why developers are making games that hold your hand from start to finish. This poster (bladin) is the target market.
Sooner or Later

Quite elitist, wouldn't you think, for a moment, that the people who hyped darkfall down hyped it down cause it has been in development for many years and they just came up with a 6 minutes video of almost nothing?
Or that people are wary that low budget companies don't deliver, or ruin the game in a way or another?
Or that people think that those kind of games incite cheating, and those who think so, think that Adventurine won't be able to face that?
I loved UO, but I don't see DF as something to be hyped about.
Honestly, I have never touched nor payed attention to the hype meters. If you think under-hyping/over-hyping is new to Darkfall fans, then you obviously haven't been here very long. People have been screwing up the hype meters from day one.
I believe it was 3 years ago (?) that WoW fans were messing with the hype meters. Like I said, this is far from new. There's always a group doing it, it's nothing to get bent out of shape over. If the hype meters really affect your gaming so much, then it's probably time to step back a bit.

Or a video that amazed many people and is almost 3x longer than the number you pulled out of thin air.
Lots of people are hyped for this game. If you aren't then vote accordingly...thats kind of the purpose
I know, its difficult.

Well, i am a critic of Darkfall and even though its fanbase mostly consists of obvious weirdos i would support them on this topic coz i see it similar....
If they want their hype meter up, theyll vote best for darkfall and lowest for other games, thats obvious and cool at least with me...the real question i would like to ask the OP is: Why the heck do u bother? I cannot imagine even the dumbest entity roaming sites like this, to care for something completely ridicolous and infantile like a Hype meter, or hypometer or whatever.....at least for me its not even worth looking at, not only because its system of rating can easily be tipped in one direction but also because the whole idea of sth like a Hype-meter as some kind of measurement of the product the hype is about seems worthless.
I even hate the word Hype. etymologically as well as phonetically.

And people did so, but this thread is more about the recent events and not the history of the hype meters, one would think that people already hyped down those games, yet it seems that there has been a huge influx of negativity towards any game excepting darkfall since the video was released on this site, which leads to think about dirty tricks.
Been wearing your tin foil hat much?

Just have to set you right on this first, It was almost 18 minutes of ingame gameplay, not 6 minutes.
Seems according to the hypemeter here at MMORPG.com that the video created some hype for the game. Also created 26000 new accounts on the main site.
Most of these new Darkfall fans havent posted on this hypemeter but seems many did last week. And wouldnt you agree with me that it oughta go up if many of those gave it a high rate.=)
Carebear community have of course dehyped Darkfall.
Age of Conan were made by a kinda big company but they delivered a crap game. EvE were developed by a small company and is a smashing success.
Its feels really fresh to have a good game on that hypemeter for a change.
We can agree on UO though, i loved it too. Darkfall seems to be better though if they can deliver.
Have a nice one
Signing for the OB doesn't make anyone a "fan", I've signed for many OBs in my life, it's just about being open minded and giving a chance to a game while it's free.
The increasement on the DF forums numbers doesn't explain this to be honest.
Im always objective with my hype.
AOC got a 6 from me. Warhammer a 7. Darkfall a 9.
Even if a few dumb people dehype other games, who cares. Hype is for fat people who cant formulate their own opinions.
It don't matter if they're laughing with you or at you, so long as they're laughing.
Yes most mmo devs have staged videos, the difference is... which your blind to see...
THERE IS NO ACTUAL GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE ANYWHERE.
IT'S NEVER BEEN PLAYED AND SHOWN ANYWHERE.
I honestly can't think of any game thats been in dev as long as this and still hasn't been played, releasing this year? and dieing next year.
Again like i said i got so tediously bored from the gameplay vid that i sorta continued to read forum posts while glancing at it. If i wanted to 10 minutes of ugly animation and style running around swinging poorly animated attacks was too much for me.
Not saying it's vaporware it clearly isn't. I'm just explaining my complaint regarding the videos.
??????????
Actually it does. Did you even read what you wrote?
Youve signed up for OBs because you wanted to give it a chance and you had an open mind about it...meaning you were interested on some level. Im going to give the WAR OB a shot (thanks mmorpg.com for the key) just to give it a whirl, but my main game is DF. But im not exactly signing up for hello kitty online ob.
The increase on the DF forums is pretty much directly related to an increase in hype. hype = interest in the game. people signing up on the forums and trying to get into ob = showing interest in the game.
this is really getting sad.

i love the nerd rage on some people. instead of just leaving a game alone that they obviously hate...they spend time trying to convince others its no good, and actually think people care.
and lol at "no gameplay footage"...you were watching 100% in game footage. it has been played by a few fans who have visited the studio and they have written writes ups about it.
also plenty of people ahve been playing it in beta obviously.
but of course you wont believe any of that because of your tinfoil hat mentality.

Yes, I gave that chance to those games, I signed on those forums if it was necessary and created my accounts, I downloaded the client and played with an open mind.
I was another number in the list of players waiting for that game, but I wouldn't consider me as a fan, and obviously I wouldn't hype down the rest of games just cause I signed in a forum to try a game while it's free.
It's like WAR fans stating that since 800k people signed for the beta the game would start with 1M players at least, might happen, but it won't be cause of the 800k people who signed to play for free.

According to your writings, you are now a WAR fan!!!
My absolute favourite is pasta and some specific greek as well as turkish meals, if now someone offers me to try out froglegs for free, i might try them out. Doesnt matter afterwards if i liked them or not. Now iam a frogleg fan, it belongs to my favourite meals........looooooool.
There is no conspiracy. OP needs to stop moaning. Darkfall has been in development for 8 (EIGHT) years, encountered many problems both financially and technically, they are a small company they made huge promises and now they've finally delivered and kept to their principles. Darkfall is the ONLY game at the moment that gives the player complete freedom, the last game that tried this was Shadowbane and it was hella fun for the first two months, but died due to lack of dev support and content. Darkfall is definitely worth the huge hype, it is the answer to grindfests like WoW where people do nothing but raid and instance every day looking for that leWt equipment that you can never lose once binded to show off in a safe town.
Jumpgate? Not to knock it or anything but ive never even heard of it. At the moment, WAR, Aion, and Darkfall are the most anticipated games of 2008/early 2009. There is nothing wrong with the hypemeters. Nobody except maybe a small group of kids are "de-hyping" all the other games. Myself, I only voted on two games, Darkfall, and Shadow of Legend which i truly believe to be quite nonsense as it's a very cliche grindfest that supports mobile phones. The concept is interesting though, it would work for a game like EVE, if I could log in to my account and set up my skill training through my mobile, I'd still be playing EVE to this day.
