    Well that is good news. Thankyou for sharing, as I do not check the official darkfall website. At the moment I am very eager to find a strong RPG, single player or online. Was thinking about re-subbing to conan, trying out NWN 2 or getting sacred 2. I probably will still get one of these games, but I am looking very forward to Darkfall now. Heck if it even gets a few really postive (official) reviews, I'll buy the game right away! :)

    Congratulations on the Darkfall team. I would say congrats for going "gold" but I don't know if that's the case yet. Anyway, hopefully they will have a great release with as few problems as can be expected for an online game, and sell a lot of boxes.

    Will there be boxes? Will this be download only? I just didn't see that info anywhere. Since there's going to be a EU release only on Jan 22, with a NA release later, I suppose no boxes for North America?

    And I still want a Tshirt.

    Personally I would not put it past them delaying again.
    But if they don’t it seems we will finally get to see at last what the game is actually like by or before the end of January.

     

    seriously man, give it a rest. seeing as you've been wrong in almost every one of your predictions, getting 1 thing right - that they slipped their projected release date back a month - is hardly anything to crow about.

     

    for now, be happy, post-release i'm sure there'll be at least a few bugs or things that go wrong that you can complain about.

    Would be cool if this is true, but let us all remember the old saying.. It ain't over 'til the rude greek delivers.

    I hope the game is good. If it have a free trial or an open beta Ill give it a try.

    Think for a moment, they still need to announce the open beta, it can become a 2 months lemght open beta, woot.

    Since most of his predictions were about the state of DF I can't see how he's been proved wrong about anything. DF fanboys have lost the plot totally. Whereas fans of other games gloat about its quality, DF fans gloat that the game might actually exist.

    Polar  and even if  you count it as "launch delay announcement"  you can't tie it to that

    "it still shows you cant totally trust anything Aventurine says"

    Cause it could be AVE or GNi the ones to blame for the 22 days...

    lol, go through post history. it's quite the read.

     

    No reasonable person of 25+ has had any doubt the game was real since at least the 17min gameplay video, though most probably knew there was always a game there, it was just being developed slowly, as any reasonable person would suspect, given a small indie developer.

    I'll bet e-cookie that open beta will start no earlier than Jan 5th, first monday of 2009. So sayeth my crystal ball.

  • GrayGhost79GrayGhost79 Member UncommonPosts: 4,775

    Well there's the official release date, so thats every criteria set by the trolls.

    In game footage

    Features shown

    Game media coverage

    People outside of Aventurine talking about beta

    an Interview with MMORPG.com

    an official launch date

    ect ect ect ect.

     

    All thats left is actual launch and to see how stable it is.

    Was fun though lol, as Polar said once, sucks to be proven right. Of course when Polar said it he/she was wrong lol and I realy don't think it sucks to be proven right so a bit different lol.

    You trolls are losing the last few legs you had to stand on now, you know. Maybe it would be a good time to start pounding on the quality of the game instead of its actual existence now. That way you can look even more obtuse and obdurate when the time to play it comes.

    19/02/2009 @11pm - "Your Darkfall preorder was successful!"
    26/02/2009 @11pm - "During the preorder of Darkfall, your credit card transacton failed."

    Ahh, classic Tasos!

  • daarcodaarco Member UncommonPosts: 4,276

    The Vaportrolls will be extremely mad now!

    No much the last couple of months have gone as they wanted to.

    For me......YAY

    Now i will get a new computer.

    And welcome to the MMORPG.com forums. Nice thesaurus skills.

    I got my new computer already, already making plans for this, now to find somewhere I can get my hands on this either on launch or a few days early to be ready FOR launch

  • gothagotha Member UncommonPosts: 1,074

    I’m not crowing about anything, just stating a fact.

    Aventurine just demonstrated again nothing they say can be totaly trusted, even their “official company commitments”

    I said it was only by a month, so if they do launch on 22nd of Feb its not a major delay, but still technically this is a launch delay, not Darkfalls first launch announcement as it has been presented.

    Most of the supporters who were declaring Darkfall definitely would end open beta and launch in 2008 as Aventurine themselves said it would have conveniently forgotten about that and seem to be pretending it did not happen.

    Now they are all getting excited about this next date, ignoring the fact it could just be delayed again, just as the official launch within 2008 has been delayed.

    Nothing really more to say then we will see what the game is like on or before Jan 22nd, and we will know finally know the truth, or the game will be delayed again and we wont.

    Mad? Not at all.  It didn't make that 2008 cut-off.  So doesn't that mean I won our bet? { *hands daarco a maid costume and dry mop*} Better get to work on those floors.

    Anyway announcement = good.  Don't really have a problem with being proven wrong, in the case of a form of entertainment.  It's win win for me.

    In War - Victory.
    In Peace - Vigilance.
    In Death - Sacrifice.

    So much hype and trolling at the same time so I just need to try this one out.

    But only if it has a trial period, I'm not paying in adcance just to be hit on the head like with AOC or War. Luckily WOW has a trial period so I was able to abandon it without wasting money.

    No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.

  • jimsmith08jimsmith08 Member Posts: 1,039

    I hope it turns out to be good. It seems like practically every MMO thats come out recently has been a big let down,whether it be something bland and unfinished like warhammer,bug crippled crapfests like aoc and vanguard,ridiculous IP blocking like spellborn or just plain awful,like hellgate.

    I hope this is the game to change all that..though I still remain sceptical about half the claims made about its features.

    Come on man, give it a rest. Game is coming the 22th of january and what is to discuss now is wether it will be a bugfeast, all features in and on and on............

    The dealy can be something out of their controls, like their partners. And a release date make me forget the 22 days delay completely, i just dont care.

    Lets be glad that we will soon have an option to try the game out.

    Fans didn't say it would definetly do anything lol. Trolls have been saying the definites. It definetly won't launch it will definetly be cr@p it is definetly vaporware. I think I remember even you giving some garunetee's it wouldn't launch Polar lol.

    They didn't give an actual release date till now lol. They said it will be ready for launch Dec of 2008 lol. We the fans made the jump to launch in 2008.

    Since you are so informed I won't need to post this quote but I will anyways.

    "The announcement during ADW was that the open beta phase is scheduled to end early in December. More importantly this means that the game will be ready to release at that point. Marketing consideration kept us from just announcing a release date. The game will be ready for release, and the launch may follow directly, or shortly after, depending on the marketing landscape at the time."

    See a bit different from what you said. Seems like they havent lied to me lol. Jan 2009 seems shortly after Dec 2008.

    So no Tasos didn't lie, yet another false claim by you Polar.
