Darkfall/Adventurine, get off their backs!
I dont usually waste my time posting to children, but ive had enough of the hating on behalf of Darkfall/Adventurine
You guys seem to think that this is a SoE or EA game, with unlimited funds and very limited creativity. This game is being developed by gamers for gamers. Its not mean to be everyone's game, like WoW or WAR, ofcourse everyone is welcome to play it, but adventurine will not change the game to appeal to a mass-market at the cost of the games integrity, if the mass-market, wants to try something new and different then Darkfall is welcoming. But dumbing the game down to appeal to more people would damaging the medium-long term potential of the game, while perhaps sustaining its short-term profits.
The features of the game cover concerns that the MMORPG community has had for years, yes, they will be setbacks during the production of the game, but im sure that if you are waiting for a quantity rather then quality game, then there are many options for you already on the market
In fact, since DAoC not a lot has changed in the fantasy MMORPG market, do you want to see another DAoC with a facelift?
or do you want some developers to put some heart and pride in to what they offer you? well, putting your heart in to something means having to delay it, it means that rather then accepting an easy-cost-cutting way out of problem in the production stages, you rather spend that bit of extra funding and that bit of extra time, on getting it right! getting it innovative and with your personal seal of approval.
how can this community keep jinxing itself, by complaining about delays and then complaining about the game needing patches when released.
to Adventurine, to H and to T , i wish you the best of luck, while you may get flammed by the children, know that the mature and quality seeking individuals still appriciate what your doing.

People take Darkfall waaaaay too seriously. It's just a game. A game which, I hope, did not kill your grandma or take your virginity.
Haters and fanboys, ladies and gentlemen, just shut the fuck up and get a life. If it arrives (which I personally hope it will) then let us pray that it will be a great game. If not, then just go on with your nerdy little life. Hopefully you will get a wife and kids some day, even though I doubt a chick would want a man that could get so obsessed with a game.
Darkfall is a virtual world, all the rest are theme park games.
Maybe people wouldn't be on their backs if Tasos wouldn't keep amping everyone up with no real reason.
Maybe we should if they gave us a reason too.
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...
Personally, I think that people who take their gaming entertainment THIS seriously are the ones who need to check themselves a wee bit. There's nothing wrong with supporting a game you want to play, chatting about it and even getting a little peeved if people attack it for reasons you don't agree with. But, come on! Calm down - see to that vein throbbing in your temple before it explodes! It always makes me laugh when I see people telling others to shut up on a forum. It's like picking up your phone when it rings and saying "good-bye".
relax for gods sakes, its a GAME for gods sakes, a game you willhave to pay money for endlessly... rent it, really. Its not your life or a lost love... Its like a toaster.. on lease.
If you get this upset over it, then you need less coffee-more therapy.
I really think the fan bois are the ones that are childish if anyone. The mature and relaxed ones have some doubts. The ones with years experience in the MMO field, they have a wait and see approach. The children, the real immautre asshats. Are the ones screaming just as you "SANTA is bringin ma new toyyy, ye no hate ma tooyy!!"
"This is not a game to be tossed aside lightly.
It should be thrown with great force"
OP it's not three guys in a their basement struggling to bring us the best MMO ever while they eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
They've reportedly spent well over 10 million bucks on this game, so stop crying poor, poor indie devs leave them alone.

Leave Tasos Alone!
I'm sure AV/Tasos are all grown-ups and can take the heat... Not like people hating on a MMO is something exclusive to DF.
That said, I find it rather amusing and ironic that there are numerous "Leave DF alone!" type posts being made lately; particularly coming from a game whose fan-base, at least in large part, consider themselves "hardcore" and able to take a scratch or three.
Yet, get critical of the game, and boy do some of them get thin-skinned. How are you gonna be "hardcore" in a FFA PvP game if you can't handle some criticism, even some "hating" (which goes both ways, by the way) in a message forum?

allowing mmorpg.com and PC Gamer magazine to do a review doesnt cost anything.
And dont delude yourself, this isnt a game made by gamers. It has investors, loans, grants backing it. It might have started out as 4 guys in a basement making a cool game but now its a marketing product that is expected to earn a return on that investment.
Some setbacks ? Dude this game has been in development for 8.5 years. Some developers could have made two stinkin MMO's in that amount of time.
All the new beta leaks should have the trolls arunnin. To quote a leaker:
"All the Troll's Doomsday is 2/25/09."
Leave BRITNEY ALONE!!! ...

Priceless
SWG, Second Life, EvE, and There felt like virtual worlds to me...
Played (more than a month): SWG, Second Life, Tabula Rasa, Lineage 2, Everquest 2, EvE, MxO, Ryzom.
Tried: WoW, Shadowbane, Anarchy Online, Everquest, WWII Online, Planetside
Beta: Lotro, Tabula Rasa, WAR.
LMAO at the OP. Is this and example of the hardcore players DF is attracting? "Stop picking on my game! It's not fair! You guys suck! Stop it! Whaaannnnnn!"
Honestly, the "fanboys" keep things stirred up just as much as the "trolls". I have to admit it is entertaining though.
Agreed. Although I think Aventurine loves the publicity. Whether it's negative or positive hype it is still hype, and that means the game is in the eyes of hundreds of thousands of gamers and if they can deliver a quality product word will spread quickly. It's insane, but anytime something negative happens the IRC, main forum, these forums, and other gaming forums around the internet regarding Darkfall have like a 300% increase in traffic.
It's crazy, but it is one of the most well known MMORPG's pre launch with hardly anything spent on marketing. The best thing about supporting Darkfall is if it turns out to be a great game none of this matters because you will have something great to play, and your wishes will be answered. If you are a troll or hater no matter what you lose. All you get to do is say 'I told you so' and then you have another failed game in our already poor market.

It seems you don't know as much as you believe you do, such as the project being redone fro mthe ground up when Razor Wax became Aventurine. That shaves off several years, for your information.
I can't wait for this game to launch... so we never have to hear anything about it again. It's funny, the darkfall forums are almost identical to the DnL forums a month before that game launched and promptly failed.

But the way people attack it isn't a obsessive, right?
Yeppers, only the haters/skeptics have a right to speak here. Or get peeved when a fan want's to talk about the game.
OP made that account when he first heard Darkfall was about to go into beta.
Tried: LotR, CoH, AoC, WAR, Jumpgate Classic
Played: SWG, Guild Wars, WoW
Playing: Eve Online, Counter-strike
Loved: Star Wars Galaxies
Waiting for: Earthrise, Guild Wars 2, anything sandbox.
Dude, you answered yourself. Two stinkin MMO's.

If you are going to quote development time do it in manyears else anything you post is not representative.
mmorpg.com is just a cesspit when they support and allow such trash to be posted , why should DFO return any favors they are doing the right thing. On top of this it is not just the game DFO have developed so you can work that one out for yourself. The game has had not setbacks it has just been in development.
A lot of developers recently have made MMOs in 5 and look where they went down the drain fast , the point is mute.

First.. You mean the point is MOOT. Mute means something different entirely. And secondly, the last three big MMOS to launch are still running and have people who really enjoy each of them. To say that LOTRO, AOC or WAR have already failed is patently untrue.

First, what is manyears? the game has been in cev for eight plus years (even the devs have claimed there have been no major changes since inception)
MMORPG.com may have some very outspoken forum members and heavy debates, but what forum doesnt?
As for setbacks, yes, Darkfall has had them as pointed out by the many times they were to start beta within the month and then nothing but silence for many months after that. There was also some sort of hacker that supposedly screwed another attempt at a beta test at one point a few years back (reported by an interview with Claus on WarCry or Banshee...)
As for one thing thats just me nitpicking, 'moot'
There are 3 types of people in the world.
1.) Those who make things happen
2.) Those who watch things happen
3.) And those who wonder "What the %#*& just happened?!"
