Vaportrolls shall perish to my holy flames.

The fact that you hold a single person in such high regards. . .that will be your downfall.

Blasphemy! The holy prophet Tasos shall deliver us Darkfall from the angels of Aventurine! His revalations are infallible!
Good luck everyone!

Thank God this game is actually for real. Now maybe the fanboi's will shut the fuck up........ Oh wait no they won't now they will just say told ya so. Now hopefuly this game will be good enough for them so they will shut the fuck up about sandbox and skill based fucking games. God im tired of hearing people complain about that shit.
Told you soo.
And you know the difference btw sandbox and themepark games is ..................................
Have a nice one
I understand that the following phrase means open beta will not have NDA:
"All the testing up to the open beta phase is protected by NDA."
Or using "up to" means that includes the open beta too?
Asking because, as some of you know, english is not my first language.
I think it means that open beta will not have an NDA but I want to be sure.
a handful of people here will be playing WoW 2.0 [WAR] so they won't really have anything constructive to say about the Darkfall Closed Beta emails going out.
All I can say is after playing both WAR Preview Weekends and OB, I was ready to play Darkfall.
WAR was just a terrible and shit experience, it wasn't anything breath-takingly new or wonderful.
It was WoW with emphasis on PVP Leveling.
I'm looking forward to full-loot again.
Told you soo.

LOL damn already
yeah the difference is ............................................................................ never really got into sandbox games. Just give me the rides and i'll ride them all day. But hey you guys need a damn good sandbox, i feel sorry for all you guys as well as getting tired of hearing about it.
It isn't Tasos's first language neither.
As he said it now, that excludes the Open Beta, unless of course Tasos isn't failproof, and the Open Beta is protected by NDA.. 
You know it, the best way to realize your dreams is waking up and start moving, never lose hope and always keep up.
i take it to mean there will be an initial period of purely hardware testing, starting now (or soon). This will be under NDA so that people who try DF on a system they haven't tested yet who get weird graphical errors don't flood the net with crappy-looking screenshots with the text "Darkfall lolz".
After they're satisfied with their coverage of hardware specs, it sounds like they'll open the "playtesting phase" and gradually let more and more people in and maybe lift the NDA.
Clearly, they're playing it safe and slow, which IMO is the right way to go for a small-ish studio with limited people.
It isn't Tasos's first language neither.

Thanks.
Good news!
Thanks. I understood the same from the message.
Good luck everyone.
Still waiting for my beta invite to arrive before I become a believer, but it is most excellent news.

Some good news, now to check email more regularly!
And we're tired of playing the same EXACT game that was released in 2001 over and over again, getting easier and easier every time. WoW clones are crap. Just about anyone who played an MMO before 2004 is by now ready to shoot themselves or the idiotic developers running the market. MMOs should be evolving, but instead they are getting easier, more restrictive, and more repetative by the day. This was a breath of fresh air. Even WAR was a breath of fresh air.
