Who cares if its real or not. The bigger question is why is this game still in development nearly 10 years after beginning? Any game that has been in development for that long is flawed and is destined for failure. Enjoy wasting 50 big ones on this.
Oh come on...
I blow 200-300 dollars on a single night with women, alcohol, or friends. 50 dollars is not something that really concerns me.
Now... as for the 10 year development... your preaching about something that has never happened... truth be told we have NO CLUE what will happen when this gets released.
I'd like the whole industry to see it and SLOW DOWN.

GIVE ME MORE STUFF
I'll support Darkfall if just to tell other developers I want them to slow down and make a better game.
Pretty sure the only thing scrapped.. was the engine..
The concepts behind the game have been the same since it's inception. That is, FFA, open, and with consequence.

well i see it more as everythign was upgraded not 100% scrapped tho
Exactly...
Concepts can be thought up in a second...that doesnt take 2-3 years between the start of the game and when it CHANGED COMPANIES in 2003.
Im going to develop a game that is based around the zombie apocolypse that has full loot pvp, 6 classes, faction alignment (zombies vs nonzombies imo)....wow that took long. now obviously the concepts go deeper than that but you get my point. these guys did not sit in front of a white board for 2-3 years developing concepts.
Creating a new engine from scratch though...yea that takes some time i would assume
it has been in development for 5 years.....maybe 7 if you want to be a nit
10 years = you are a troll running our of arguements.

Juicy.
Because the website asked them? Aventurine didn't invite them....they simply accepted their request.
Any media that wants to do the same is welcome to do so...but i applaud Aventurine for focusing on their game and following the attitude that the game will speak for itself. Much better than all hype and no result.
Even with out mucho $ spent on hype..DF is probably the most talked about game in development right now...or right up there with the other
Huh?
Sorry I don't buy that. What kind of company employs a marketing strategy of 'Oh well if someone comes along and asks to playtest, we'll let them.'
By that token, any tinpot European website or media company could therefore roll up to the Aventurine offices and ask to see what they're up to. Why then is it only MMORPG.it that has...
Strange.
This Delivers ..awsome
also you can see the fake front door ..
and also you notice the difference at windows...sometime is day and there are to seen trees and sometime they dark night ...same goes for the different flooring in the pictures..in no way there is parquett and something else in one office...,btw..anyone noticed these are totally diefferent guys then they was in Athens ADW ? how come they changed appearence that quick ...

Awsome. See surperd, miagisin...this is how you should be trying to troll! This guy is at least original and im pretty sure it is riddled with sarcasm but even if it isnt...this is actually original and shows some thought.
I'm debating on whether or not this is sarcasm as well...
I think I need some coffee...
Actually, yes. And not just websites and other media, but random ppl from the community. Many people have already visted them. Don't hate on Aventurine. Hate on the media and other websites for not giving a sh!t about DF, or at least not enough to go to Athens.

If the media consider DF not worth their time, then this could be very damaging for the game. Say what you will about their word-of-mouth approach, but without media exposure this game is not going to get off the ground.
I'm confused on what exactly the point of this is? So you have pictures of their studio, what does that prove? they have been working on the game? I sure hope so, it's been 8 years, I'd hope they are working on something. I guess I'm just confused on what the point is besides giving the OP his daily trolling requirements.

I wouldn't worry about it. Nearly 200,000 ppl registered on the official forums, and once the game goes live, that number will explode with other ppl realizing it actually happened. Plus you know about it, nearly everyone at MMORPG does.
You don't need 6 million subscribers to be successful.

Zayne,
This is my opinion on what you are talking about.
A game like WoW, whose target audience is MUCH larger than DF needs marketing to reach all those people. I dont think anyone disagrees that WoW is designed to have a "lower barrier of entry" in the sense that it is easy to pick up and learn, and also appeals to the masses. It has a HUGE Target market.
Darkfall is a niche game. If it ever cracks a million subs im going to be shocked and would actually bet money against it ever becomming that popular. We are talking about eve-esque numbers here. I dont remember what kind of marketing EVE had prelaunch, but maybe someone can remind me as it would make for interesting discussion since the development teams have a lot in common.
So right now, the target market for DF is probably aware of DF. It would be a big waste of money and time to market it at this point in the game, just to maybe pull in some more people. Those people will pick up the game after it releases because if it releases well...the reviews and media love it will get will serve that purpose. And also they may focus more attention on marketing at that point once they are happy with a stable product that makes them money.

I KNOW RIGHT!?!
Just couldnt stay away could you?
Whats the point?
See in this forum, despite your best efforts abramhm, we like to talk about a game we are all interested in. So when some journalists visit the studio and post pictures from their trip...that is worthy of a thread to share it among friends.
I know this is a tough concept but try to open your mind and think slowly.

No no, I understand, you want to show pics of the studio. I'm confused about why you did the same thing you always do, post some irrelevent little piece of info, make it out to be so much more than it is, intentionally bait the "trolls", and then troll yourself by continually trying to argue the whole time. Don't you get tired of it? Do you ever leave your house?
Posting pics of the studio is one thing, but the title and your posts afterwards make you nothing more than a troll, and a rather poor one at that.

I disagree...i think im not poor at it at all!
All kidding aside, i see where you are comming from. Unfortunatly this forum is what it is. Could the OP have done without the comments about how this proves it isnt fake? Absolutley. I shouldnt need to confirm what is already fact, just because some trolls want to bait people...i should just let it go.
As far as leaving my house...laptops are fun and my job is not only a lot of fun in that im very mobile...but it allows me to hop on forums during slower times.

Thank you for posting these. Hopefully soon enough we will see a video from a players perspective. Can't wait !
No problemo. We will hopefully have the video up soon. At first they said sometime this week, but the italian journalists made it seem like it may be sooner, even today in posts this morning. So we'll see.
Though I have a feeling it is going to be a gameplay video in the sense that it is fraps...and not an over the shoulder video like i would have hoped. Still very good and very welcomed of course.

New engine from scratch is 3 to 5 years easy. It can take up the greater part of development I know that much.
Who cares if its real or not. The bigger question is why is this game still in development nearly 10 years after beginning? Any game that has been in development for that long is flawed and is destined for failure. Enjoy wasting 50 big ones on this.
why not stretching the truth at bit more and call it in development since the early 1960's...or maybe since WWII ?
Because come Jan 1, 2009. This game will have been in development for 8 years, thats pretty damn close to a decade if you ask me, but 8 years is still to hell of a long time to be stretching out an MMO project. Specially one that looks this bad.
For the record that office is not impressive. Its like a room with some "puters" in it, with a star wars poster and some DF shit tacked up everywhere. Yep cutting edge stuff.
Aside from that I don't think anyone would disagree the game is "real" as in it is somewhere on planet earth loaded onto a pc. What the majority of the so called "trolls" typically say is it's never coming out.
Listen they can have some basement flat in some building somewhere on the moon for all I care. They can work on this shit till doomsday as well. Until it hits a shelf, until I can hold this game in my hand. Until I can go to a website insert my credit card to download this game in it's entirity.
It's vaporware as far as I am concerned....
7 years in development... who the hell are these people kidding? Oh wait, I guess there are a few.
Fanboi's because they are part of the staff at MMORPG and you say anything negitive about darkfall you will be banned without warning.
Yes, but didnt they say somewhere that the game got scrapped in 05 and started over.
end of 03 even the news thing say 5 years
Aye thats right. Darkfall game of today is 5 year old and not a 7 old one as some claims. Game was more or less restarted mid 2003.
Even the developers of Darkfall of today call it a 5 year old game, not a 7 year old one.
The whole worldmap with its handmade graphics were dumped 2003. They started to create a new one 2003. New coding. New game engine. A different game then the original one Razorwax had created from 2001 to late 2002.
