Darkfall is going to get 300-350k players from launch
Judging by activity on the official forums, where membership has gone from 50,000 to 210,000 in the last couple of months and the normal 50:50 ratio of members to guests online, It seems Darkfall could be a far bigger commercial success than many Darkfall haters think.
If they deliver on most of their promises, we could see 500,000 players by March. How will they handle this volume of players? Still one server?

They've said servers will support 10,000 players, more than that and it could get messy.
They'd have to open more servers.

Too bad no one knows for sure considering they refuse to have an open beta and test that "theory".
They got a blind faith server to go along with their blind faith following.
Well i think they get +500K from starters and it will grow on a good release to way over a million subs quite fast.
There is so many potential buyers lurking arround and the MMORPG market is a growing business.
Imagine how many themepark players that want to expand there experience into something harder then there traditional grind one.
Why did Dark and Light have 300,000+ people on their forums with over 1,000 actively browsing at any given time?
Want to know WHY the Darkfall forums have 200,000 registered users? Because 90% of those people registered with in the last 2 months or so and only did so because they want a free beta to play. Which at this point they're never going to see.
You are so naive that it's just laughable.
Do you honestly believe that every person that registers on a message board is going to pay to play anythning?
Here's a wake up call for you - THEY WON"T.
This game IF it ever launches.. will be VERY VERY LUCKY to get and hold even 30,000 players for a year in todays MMO market.
Ok troll - tell me this, if you deny there is this level of interest in the game., why does the darkfall forum constantly have more activity than the MMORPG.com? Why does the forum now have over 200,000 members? AoC is a failure, people realise WAR is just a WOW clone - there is nothing else out there.
It will get 300,000 intital players minimum - whether it can retain them and grow depends on the stability of the game and if the functions promised are in.
The best thing about it will be like you eating their words!!
Tasos created mass amount of dummy accounts, clearly...
It's a niche game I don't see it hitting even 50,000 at launch
Obviously this is a very misguided OP....but it is funny to see the real trolls come out the second they see a chance to hop all over something Darkfall, since there is so little for them to do that these days.
troll on guys, troll on!
lol at 50k on launch, only way that happens is if the game has an absolutly horrid launch and is unstable and no features....which is possible, but anything decent will have more than that.
I can promise you that and would bet anything...common sense. just like the common sense that has proven us right everytime darkfall has come through.

The first potentially good fantasy sandbox since UO will of course get a really high number of subs on a good release.
Youre just fooling yourself if you think anything else.
I can see way over a million subs for the game on a good release and all features in.
Absurd.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
What a joke. Darkfall main board have +210.000 at the moment and imagine the numbers of lurkers arround.
One million subs on a good release is the low expection i have on a good release and all features in.

30,000 players!!!! LMAO. You are funny. I will enjoy your post admitting you were wrong in a couple of months time. If you have the balls to do that?!?

it will be lucky to have 10k subs after the first month... if it EVER releases... which is doubtful... very doubtful.
All these MMORPG.com'ers will find out on Jan 22nd. A new sandbox game, it's coming. The business has been running for 13 years, and have been developing this version of Darkfall since 2003. There was another version that (mostly) got scrapped previously.
You just wait, trolls.

You are welcome even if you can't understand what I wrote. I stated it would be lucky to have 10k subs AFTER the first month.
I fully believe there are enough rabid fanbois out there to purchase 50k retail units at launch. 4 out of 5 won't continue after the first month. The other 1 just goes on believing it's the best thing since sliced bread.
Good luck with that and your reading comprehension.
probly throw up a few servers
lol thanks for the bump!

Sorry, but you're in no position to be saying this. No one is, except the closed beta testers (When actually even they're not, because the NDA is still in effect).
We haven't played the game yet, we don't know. If this game turns out to be what it promised, it will be a masterpeice and will have a big impact on the MMO market. Do you agree or not?

I'd rather describe it as people slowing down on the highway to gawk at the horrific accident that just happened. Quite frankly, it is why I am here. I am neither troll nor fanboi. I don't play any current mmo's and haven't subbed since SWG to any.
The proof is in the pudding as they say. So we shall see. But 'common sense', which is apparantly not too common here among the more rabid fanbois, dictates a disaster in the making. For your sakes, I do hope the launch is good. If not, I'll have gotten my nickels worth of amusement this month.

500K at starters and 1 million after a some months on a good release.
And i do believe we will see a good release.
Aventurine isnt just a company out for a fast buck, they have a more important agenda no other game developing company had the last years.
So Darkfall will most likely be a winner.

omg dillusional fanboi
...........
Call me a troll if you want (well all fanboi do this when you dont agree with them) but i dont say this game will not be good, i dont say its vaporware, but damn over a million subs?? geez man you are a optimist one that for sure......... If Darkfall can get 100 or maibe 150k subs (active subs and not the 30 free day susb who dont resubs), then this game will be a huge succes.
You seem to forget that the mass now want thempark mmo like wow, in fact they want wow 2 so you can dreamed if you want but that just a dream.
