Guys, I just went and checked out the hype meters for all of the games on the top list and out of 2000-3000 votes for each game there was a grand total of 8 guys de-hyping for DF. 8?!?!? you guys are getting all bent out of shape over 8 votes? I'm so sure that they put a MAJOR dent in the hype for those games. Like I said this whole thing is just silly at best...get over it already.

It is very silly but if you read the entire thread you can see why people would go out of their way to do that. If the OP hadn't said the things he said, Im sure the hype meter would have it pretty high.
You have the OP stating the Mods are rigging the hype meter to thank for that.
Also, you guys are taking this hype meter way too seriously. Hype meters here isn't going to make or break game retail sales. Stop taking it too seriously. I envision a bunch of you guys at the Darkfall hypemeter page clicking refresh ever four minutes and taking notes on it.
Just let it gooooooooooooo. Let good karma flow through you and let it not bother you so much. It really isnt a big issue.
Well I just went and checked out the DF hype meter since the video came out and there is no less than 29 negative hypes since the video...8 vs. 29 and the hype meter is still climbing for DF. No I don't think the Mods rig anything on this site. There would be no reason for them to do that and if they did and it ever came out it would do them a lot more harm than good. No I think the staff here at MMORPG is a little smarter than that.
Also no I don't take it too seriously that is probably why it has me baffled why other seem to be. You know from my past posts that I'm usually very cautious about Darkfall and games in general. I'll admit that Darkfall has peaked my interest but I won't say nor have I ever that it will be the end all be all of the MMO genre until I play it. I know it isn't a big issue that is why I'm sort of baffled that others seem to think it is. Oh well I'm done here for now it's just that when you said I had a Jr. High mentality it got my dander up a little.
Hopefully we can get the Hype-meter up to some ridiculous number like 8.5! How freaking sweet would that be, we would get some more publicity which would mean more people ingame to kill and loot! I can't wait for some TV commercials if they do them, that would be sah wheeeeet!
I wonder if they will do TV commercials for Darkfall, and how they would go about doing it. In this case, I don't think that the quality of the commercial could negatively impact Darkfall, because of the hype surrounding it, and the fanbase it has already.
You DF fans really need to be careful about how you hype this game up. Nothing is worse than over hyping a game, getting you hopes up, then playing it only to find that it misses the high water mark on greatness.
Im not ragging on the game, i hope it is as great as the fanbois want it to be, the industry really needs more great games, as they are in short supply.
Im just saying, everyone knows about the game, i would say underhyping it then having it surprise you on how fun/origional/sandbox/ect it is would be much better than overhype and dissapointment.
I mean, that is, in a sense, exactly what happend with AoC.....was over hyped by the company and the players, then the players actually played the game for a bit and found out it was average.
Anyone else here starting to see similarities between the AoC hype and reality and what may happen to DF?
Best of luck with it though, and if they have a real open beta or free prieview weekend im sure as hell going to put any game im playing on hold and give DF a try.

well aoc didnt bring anything new to the table. well they brought collision detection back, but without friendly fire its just laughable.
DF on the other hand brings many old qualities back that has been forgotten since (UO/AC-DT), and adds a shitload innovations on top.
This is why I hype it, I want people to try a sandbox mmorpg, because its a whole different experience compared to the the EQ/Daoc/WoW/Aoc spreadsheet mmorpgs. Its like a whole different kind of game, and I really want people to try this out.
Why do you think they hate Darkfall? Because its a whole different concept for them. Most of them started playing "World of Gaycraft".
You lost me right there. Just a word to the wise here:
If you want readers to take your posts seriously about defending a game you life, don't go around creating silly immature variances of other mmorpgs.
You have completely lost all creadibility.
BTW, stop creating alts. Its not allowed here.
Umm.....with Cobra Commandor 2008 in your sig, I'm not sure you demonstrate such a serious, mature outlook yourself. Perhaps it's not juvenile, persay, but I'll take juvenile over stupid anyday.

Wow. You are amazing. You got me. What a cool guy you are to get me! Now I am in tears. I do hope you are happy.
If you cannot think of something more intelligent to say other than noting someone's signature, then you really need to think about 5 minutes before coming up with a witty retort. Because your retort was pretty bad.
If you would like to discuss mods altering the hype meter be my guess. If you are going to act like a 6 year old, don't bother posting.
People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.

Is there some kind of "dehype war" going on here between the fans of various games? I noticed that every game in the in development list on the front page is getting dehyped, even Warhammer.
It makes me think the traffic figures are a better guide to the buz surrounding a game rather than the fan-spammed hype meter.
Not sure if this is mentioned anywhere, but I've noticed DFO's rating has dropped significantly in the last few days.
Reason?
SImple. Alot of non-dfo's have caught wind of this and are cranking it down solely to put their own mmo's higher in the listings. I can't prove it, and don't care what they think. Once DFO is out they'll eat their words and realize that the reality is waiting for a whole week or longer to get a key for OB will be typical (such as it is now for me to kill time by trying to get a key for WAR).
I don't need to label people, nor do I need to be merciful to those that don't understand. Find out the hard way, and deal.
I can see two types of MMOs in production at the moment.
Wow clones, looking to copy blizzard ,and get their slice of the pie. Warhammer and mostly every up coming mmo are examples of these. This is basically unoriginal garbage that offers nothing new.
and..
Games that deliver something new, that isn't available in the market (in a fantasy game) at the moment. Darkfall is the obvious example of this, as well as perhaps Mortal Online and Earth Rise.
The wow gear/level carebear treadmil model is obviously something that works, but I want no part of it. It doesn't interest me in the slightest. That there exists people willing to piss away years of time to continually upgrade a number on their gear within that game, I think, says something quite sad about gamers these days. One of the recent pure pwnage videos touched on this - gamers these days are basically spoilt, and would rather continually consume the mc donalds of games, without actually having to think, or in any way involve that which is between the ears. Bring back games that exist for the.. GAME PLAY.
Just wanted to inform you guys, Darkfall just to outpaced Aion and Stargate Worlds is next (both at the same rating atm). Then only Warhammer, which will leave the "unreleased games"-section in 10 days, is above Darkfall. Whether you want it or not - Darkfall is coming!1 No. 1!
You do know there was a thread stating "Darkfall is coming" on these very boards. It was dated Sept of last year. At the time the fans swore up and down just as they do now. that the game would be out by the end of the year or early 2008.
Sorry i just can't buy your hype anymore. Darkfall may indeed be coming the question is will it be in any of our lifetimes. Still no UI shown in the video's (how eaxactly are they "playing" the game?) and no real media has seen it. (well there was one guy this year "yellowbeard" that said he saw it, and one guy last year think it was "ash" or some guild leader.) Yet the fans spout that "Lots" and "Many" have seen it, and that its "Coming" as well as it has "amazing game play" Lol wonder when they played it, and of yeah "its as sandboxy then SWG ever was" Once again all these truths seem to have come from the recent video, and the fact 2 people have reported they have actually seen it. No I'm not forgetting some greek magazine supposibly saw it and the really old report from womens gamers from a few years back
Vaporware? No I'm not saying that (never have) Greatest game ever? personally I'd not say that from what little info / videos have been released, but do wish you fanbois the best of luck. If DF is great it might be a shot in the arm to all MMO's ( plus all the gankers, and griefers will have a game to play )
well aoc didnt bring anything new to the table. well they brought collision detection back, but without friendly fire its just laughable.

Problem is your hyping it without ever having played/beta'd it. In other words you could be lying as you don't know that any of the statements your making to Hype the game are true. Yes you want them to be true, you might even believe them to be true but you have no proof. This unfortunately doesn't stop you from making statement you would like to be true as fact
As you said you "really want people to try DF out" however reposting what the Devs say as fact without any proof makes you look alittle sad. Though I admit not as bad as the fans making up statements like "The game play is incredable" when no one here has actually played/beta'd the game. The whole "This is the greatest game ever! What no, no I haven't played the game but I saw a video/read the Faq and Its the greatest game ever!" mentallity is probably what gets me the most.
What kind of kiddie Seasame Street BS is going on here fighting and trolling over something petty Yes Im awaitng DF as well cause Im really psyched about playing it but comeon guys how old are most of you to lower yourself to these people to bicker like a bunch of ol'women? Give it a rest....

I'm excited, Darkfall is going to be my first mmorpg since I played Medievia (an old MUD)
Seeing the community rally like this makes me very hopeful it will come out soon. Glad to see it at #4.
