Let me get this straight
They say they are going to release this game in 2008. So they have 2 months to release it. But they haven't even started beta yet. And they don't even know when beta will start. Does anyone seriously believe it will launch in 2008?
And I don't want to hear that beta has already started. I'm talking about people from outside the company testing the game. Thats what most people consider a beta to be.

No of course it won't launch this year just like it didn't launch in 2003.
And i would not even be surprised if a playable Beta doesn't happen this year. This project is played out nonsense supported by foolish people that needs to either launch and fail or just get cancelled already.
If the game is so good, if its so feature complete, if it's so bug free and ready to launch in 2 months --- where's the Beta?
Ever wonder why they never allow ANY credible editors to play test and report on this game? I'll tell ya why -- because they are scared to death what a REAL industry reporter will write up so instead they just parade their product around obscure gaming conventions in Greece somewhere, where they can easily impress a country that is totally ignorant about video games.
Darkfall -- blowing smoke up asses since 2001
What the f....Greece is Ignorant about video games? You just pulled that from your arse didnt you? Do you even know where Greece is?
(im not greek im just pissed)
On topic- I think they'll actually release the game at the end of the year... dont ask me why i just feel it
... I mean, they did have this big presentation and what not... i think they want people to know about their game now more than before.
Then why not just let them play it? I mean the game is done, right? Launching in 2 months.
So what's the hold up this time? Hell they even got themselves an obscure DVD distribution comany as their publisher to go along with all their obscurities..
They said beta will end at the start of december. So it should be soon(tm). Rejoice brothers, the beta is right around the corner! The promised lands of Agon await us!

I believe I read somewhere that DF was once again going to break the mold and hold like a short 2 or 3 week beta before years end and then launch, which of course completely defies the industry tradition of year or more closed/open beta cycles.
Does seem to be yet one more improbable thing about DFO to add to the game's history.
I'm waiting until the end of December to see what happens. If nothing does, I'll go back to the vaporware assumption.

I doubt they start the game in 2008, but I guess they will try to start beta this year.
Ohh, another thread about one saying that DF wont be released in 2008! How fun.
Why not wait and see? You, OP.....you have been waiting and talking about this game for years. What is a couple of more months? Relax. Noone know when it will come. Dont think Aventurine knows for sure either.
I actually laughed out loud when I saw the release date stated 2008
That's just too overly optimistic to even be considered hehe.

The fact of the matter is that BETA is something OFFERED by developers to get feedback from the public and potential players, i hate the idea of open BETA for the public as those that get in whine about this and that and the company changes things and the game becomes another junk MMO like the rest (Age of Conan is a prime example).. Darkfall are doing things right in my opinion, they're not overhyping it, they're not spending mass amounts on marketing (yet thousands know about it). All those whining about not having beta yet are spoilt brats from other games, they don't want to truelly test the game for bugs and glitches (reason beta exists) they want to play the game before anyone else..
My opinion.. SHUT THE HELL UP AND WAIT!!!!!! it'll release when it's ready...

But it has already started, and it's paid so the people testing the game now will do better than open beta testers. Do I believe it will be out in 2008? Yes! Open beta usually only lasts a week or two so we've got time and I find it very hard to believe that the videos they recently released would be plastered with 2008 if they were just joking around.

Beta has been right around the corner last 6 years. Cant count the number of times i've been sitting and refreshing their newspage over the years, in hope of beta announcement. Maybe this time...

No I won't shut the hell up. They have been lying about beta for the last 5 years, and they are still lying. Now they are lying about the release date. And I'm sick of it

IF this is true and they have paid testers testing the game then there not doing a very good job IMO. Either there not doing there job or the Dev's are unable to fix the obvious flaws in the game ( as shown at the convention ) For a p2p game they better do better than this.

I want to know what that cluster loading pause of about 3 seconds was all about. Never seen anything like it in a MMORPG before.
The fanboys of this game better hope that dooesn't mean that they don't have a Dynamic loading system in their engine. Because if they don't have one then they might as well just throw this into the shitter right now.
I can't think of any other reason for a 3-4 second pause like that while in an open area and not entering any kind of instance..

It's a bi product of a seamless world. Instead of zones you get what is commonly reffered to as a server line. Examples of this can be found in UO. Parts of the world are hosted on seperate servers in this case a server within a cluster. Crossing from one part of the cluster to another causes a brief delay that lasts a fraction of the time zoning would and impacts immersion far less than a loading screen. It is sadly a necessary evil with large seamless worlds at this point in time.
Impress a country that is totally ignorant about video games?
I am not sure if Darkfall is blowing smoke up asses since 2001 but I certainly know that you blow with comments like that. Has there been a survey that shows Greece is totally ignorant about video games? Seriously...your whole argument is pointless when you make comments like this.
DF has been in closed beta for over 15 months now, they're doing it with professional testers. Open beta is merely a free trial, the're shooting to have the game complete when it goes to open beta. So it's not like there never was a testing period, it's been going on as a process for quite some time too bad people live under a rock and have not realized it.
Open Beta will not be long less then a month from what I heard, but that does not mean that they wont delay the game; if the servers need more optimizing then they will delay it. I am still of the opinion that they will delay it, and release 1st quarter 2009.
I just wonder how many pro testers they have on there team. Since this is supposed to be the biggest MMO ever and its sandbox, there is a lot of things that could go wrong. While the guys that get paid they will do a good job, but still I think it would be wise to have a closed beta with thousands of players to also find bugs.
I can see this coming to bite them in the but when open beta starts and thousands of people are playing the game and a ton of bugs pop up because of all the stuff that the pro testers did think of testing.
No I won't shut the hell up. They have been lying about beta for the last 5 years, and they are still lying. Now they are lying about the release date. And I'm sick of it
How can you say they're lying about the release date until it's passed the release date? they said 2008 which still has 2 months left.. forget about beta and all that junk, the simple fact is they haven't lied about this release date till it's 2009.. relax and chill out..
Even MMORPGS with large teams need thousands of people to test their game for a year, and even then they don't get all the bugs out.
And you believe a small dev team with a few internal beta testers can do all that. Its just another absurd lie Adventurine is telling. Just add it to all their other lies
Its amazing that fanbois believe everything Tasos says, no matter how ridiculous it is.
I sure hope there were enough of the said paid testers to do a stress test, if not the game is in for a very bumpy release.
How is it that there was 25+ years of game design before the "open beta" concept even existed and all of the games made during this period were not bug filled crap? Was it some kind of phenomenal streak of luck?
In fact since this concept has emerged games have got more buggy as they release them before they are ready.
