Tasos: The Face of Darkfall

Member Posts: 43
Tasos is the sole person that people have come to associate with the game Darkfall(and rightfully so, he's one of the very few who has vaguely spoken on it's status and features). I find it interesting that when something negative about Darkfall arises it's "f*&$ing Tasos! I hate him, where's my betacake!". That is the normal response. Which is understandable, he's basically the only one who has been in contact with the community.
He's more than just a man, he *is* Darkfall! He is a semi-mythical figure. This thread is basically dedicated to finding out more about this living legend: his past,present, and his future...which I'm sure will be bright!
What would you do if you saw him in person? What would you ask him?
Your thoughts please.

What if Tasos was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home

$OE - eternal enemy of online gaming

"There was suppression of speech and all kinds of things between disturbing and fascistic." Raph Koster (parted $OE)
LOL
Preposterous! he is a demi-god, at least!
All tho he doing a great job, for me its Claus LD and his team of razorwax the developers who i admire for there vision and dream game called Darkfall:)
Games played:AC1-Darktide'99-2000-AC2-Darktide/dawnsong2003-2005,Lineage2-2005-2006 and now Darkfall-2009.....
In between WoW few months AoC few months and some f2p also all very short few weeks.
Tasos doesn't have a face. It's just a compliation of lie after lie that makes up this avatar you speak of.
He is eternal.
He who keeps his cool best wins.
I'm in no way saying that the conduct of Aventurine is acceptable...but in all honesty I somewhat do feel sorry for him and this grave he has dug for himself...ok not really.
But seriously though this man has a future in some form of bullshiting job!
I'm sorry but let's just be realistic here... would Tasos (after possibly reading all the hatred on various forums since 2003) actually reveal his identity? If i was Tasos i'd only leave my house at night, and dressed as a ninja and only use the rooftops to get to my destination!
Why are there so many cutesie, fantasy, childish MMO's. Give me blood, gore and a long lasting challenge. I don't need my hand being held along the way. Thanks.

But think of the challenge it would be to find him now! It's like "Where In the World Is Waldo?" but with a beautiful man with a beautiful name: Tasos.
If I ever get some extra money on the side I'd like to travel to Greece,or some remote island maybe (at post pre-order point) and have drinks with him.
Reading this makes me think you want more than drinks
he kinda reminds me of Mayor Quimby (simpsons)
Ok...yeah the "beautiful man" thing was a little too much, even for sarcasism , sorry
I'd ask him how he felt being scrutanized by people who have no idea whatthey are talking aobut after trying several different ways of approaching giving information to the public, all of which were shot down whether it was abundant or it was a long time coming.
I am truly curious how he's taken his "role" as the only shred of PR they have invested in. I couldn't care less if he was a cocky bastard as long as what he says i nthe end is found to be true. To me however... he's proud, and has strict.. (unbelievably strict.......) rules guiding what he can and cannot actually reveal.
Every company has one,they're like the scape goats of their companies first to be sacrificed by the angry mob of disatisfied consumers if something goes wrong..........
On a more happy note i think he's getting rather well-paid for it....
Iiii-iiiiiit's.... me!!! *Hooray*
I'd take a picture of him and put a white border around it... revolutionary !
Tasos is like another famous Greek- Lycurgus. Nobody is 100% sure he even existed, yet his word was upheld as sacred law.
Hah! Indeed he is, except in another 1,000 or so years we will be studying about the legendary Tasos of Aventurine in history classes instead of the much less cool Lycurgus of Sparta.
I don't care whatr others say. I think Tasos is smart and I respect him and what he is doing,
Shame we have a topic like this, respect such other persons and stfu before you see the game.
sounds like someone has a mancrush
Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...
I think more than a Mancrush,
sheesh are you ok? a "semi mythiical figure"? you my friend need to leave your house right now... Get out and go down the shop or something, find a girl, or the way you talk about Tasos find a guy just dont sit at your pc as you have clearly lost the plot . its a GAME and he is a GUY, thats all..
Hope this helps ya mental stability
a "semi mythiical figure" - LMFAO!

Jesus you realise this is just an Internet forum right? You really need to get outside, maybe meet a girl. You're taking his post WAAAAAYYYY too seriously.

You fail at sarcasm detection. Please turn in your radar. What's even sadder is, if you look at post #13, he even said it was sarcasm, and you still didn't get it.
Wait....what?!
Respect for the devs hard work? Sure....but Tasos and great job in the same sentence?
You know, I really doubt ass kissing on mmorpg.com is going to get you a beta slot. Stop...just...stop.
