Hmm, maybe I secretly work for EA or Blizzard and I'm scared shitless that Darkfall Online will be the "bestest game eva made" and take away millions of my current customers!
Actually I am home today, my lil' boy is with his mommy... so I am bored and it's frigid cold outside.
Also, if I can help even one person not give their pre-order money to the company behind this game who I honestly feel is corrupt, deceitful, and misleading as hell - then I am happy with my efforts.
- While it may look like I took much longer then I actually did to write my OP (original post) here, it actually only took me a little more then an hours time. There is TONS of information and useful sources out there to back up my suspicions and feelings about this game not being all that it promises and Tasos being misleading and deceptive.

I don't have the history nor have looked at this game for more than 12 months , but i have come to the same conclusion. I usually give games a try and pay for them with hope that I will enjoy them and by paying for them I think that even if they fail it is good for the gaming industry in general. It shows that people are willing to pay for games and devs should continue to make them (because good ones can make money). But this is the only exception I can think of where there is not a snowballs chance in hell that I will give them my money.
I did not quote the op first thread but you have told me why I have come to this conclusion. I really didn't know why before. All the people with the ability to reason, think, and speak in a some reasonable tone have left. Only the flaming, killer jerks are left to wait for this one. I have never ever seen a community so closed minded and unreasonable before. And it contnues till this very day on thier forum. I had hopes 6+ months ago when i found out the game but no longer. Tks to you for explainig things to me. I appreciate it.
ps. Ziembee That is the funniest top ten or however many there I have ever seen. Dave awaits!!! Even if I wanted to play I would have to laugh at that.
Zaxx. Can you not just let this thread die please?
I know this is like your fourth or fifth attempt in creating a thread with a dashing "three-line" topic and that you this time did succeed in having people biting your troll bait. I am not thrilled.
ROTF, Shouldn't you have been banned a long time ago for name calling, flaming, and getting so upset about all the negative posts about your beloved game? Heh.
And furthermore, I know you hate any and all threads that don't put your game or your god Tasos in the best of light. What ever will you do when judgment day finally arrives for your game and it gets an overall thumbs down as opposed to pointing towards the heavens as Tasos has promised you so many times in your Darkfall forums bible that you so faithfully believe in?
- Zaxx
Luckily I have not been banned, which I appreciate.
And your threads are in no way constructive critiques. It is like your personal vendetta to ruin whatever potential this game may have.
It almost looks like you are getting paid for this, I can not imagine how much time you must have put into those hundreds of long replies you have been posting for months here.
Thats very funny, and I give you a big azz 0 for that post. Here is why genius, you assume he has tried to "ruin" the potential of DF...thats a amazing statement. So in your eyes he has the POWER! Wrong, he has the potential to enlighten, that is all. IF people agree with him it is by thier own free will based on what he has posted. See how that works? I see nothing to indicated the OP lied in his inital post, but rather once again, enlightened us all by compiling the information.
I started this thread the other day with the original post. Now we have almost 250 posts in this thread. Looks like about 40 posts have been completely deleted from this thread. Almost all of those posts that have been deleted have been removed because of personal attacks against me, name calling, etc etc. I have yet to see any fan or anyone else for that matter try to validate anything I stated and provided links to in my original post. No answers. No sensible rebuttals to any of the untruths Tasos has told his fans over the years. But what he have got is tons of lame excuses and I've been personally attacked like I just called these peoples own momma a bad name. Is this really the kind of community that will be playing Darkfall anyhow? And I thought the WoW kiddies were bad, sheesh. This thread might be the single worst thing going for Darkfall actually. And nothing I posted about Tasos is what I am referring to. ..Just imagine how some of these same DF fans will react if they are playing Darkfall and get Pk'ed and looted of all their stuff ten times in a row. I mean I'm serious. If they can't even attack the posts I made against Tasos, but rather want to attack me and my intentions and all. Maybe I am like the Terminator movies. The fans have been hollering for years about how great Tasos is, want to rant about every word he says like it is Gospel. They invade other forums and put down games like AoC and Warhammer, and World of Warcraft, and even LoTRO. ..For every action, there is a equal and opposite reaction. Perhaps I and other such skeptics have been sent here now to oppose the insanity and blindness that seems to be coming from the most rabid Darkfall fanatics. Regardless, FACTS are FACTS. Hate me or not, it is NOT my fault that Darkfall isn't released yet. It isn't my fault that Tasos has said all of those crazy lies and untruths over the years. And get this, it will not be my fault or anyone elses fault but Tasos and Aventurine Inc fault if Darkfall fails in the end. You guys can try and shift the blame on people like myself all you want. Perhaps some of you fans that hate me now with such a passion that you can't keep from calling me names and attacking me personally should indeed come back and re-read my original post (OP) here in this thread again if/when Darkfall does indeed fail. Then maybe, you'll finally see my "true intentions" of such posts against Darkfall. Maybe then, and only then will you finally understand. In the meantime, I am more on your side then you might imagine. While I would never want some quack like Tasos to ever be rewarded, I fully understand that if Darkfall succeeds, that the fans and the mmo genre as a whole will win. I hope, right along side you all that Darkfall indeed does succeed. I hope that I am proven a fool and that you all may mock my posts in the future. I do not think I am wrong however, and I KNOW I am not wrong about knowing that Tasos is a horrible PR spokesman for Darkfall and for Aventurine. {thumbs up}

Well it all come down to, if game is playable, stable, smooth and have enough to do to spent time play it , if it have fun for those who like harsh game enviroment, if it all have that, it will be succefull for the hardcore fansbase.
I must say the community is terible realy terible, but many hardcore you dont hear much they just concentrade on game.
Dont forget that about 60% of registered on official forum are ex themepark players so it seems like whole community are silly kids, but there are plenty hardcore clans serieus and wanne make something out of this mmorpg.
If 50k at first will play Darkfall out of 350k registered devs will be pleased and build on that further slowly growing and this was always there plan.
It dont matter what you all here say on forums you eather like Darkfall or not.
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.
Originally posted by Zorndorf People will never learn. So I don't have ANY pity with those who will loose money on this project. Be it investors, shops, players, PR guys. Just as if 2008 never happened. Yeah right, single processor 200vs200 PvP fights: AoC but only worse. OP: just stop it. Those who want to believe the hype let them have it: they DESERVE to be fooled.
I am gonna have to agree with you here. I decided to no longer post anymore negatives about this game as it is just useless when you post facts and the fanbois just try to spin it to make it go their way.
I will instead let the game talk for me if it releases anytime soon.
And no im not impressed by a bunch of clippings from wikipedia, ive been following Darkfall for 10 years!
Thats right 10 years, I live in Norway, I played UO and I know exactly when Kjetil and the others started working on Darkfall, and I know all the history of the game as the op has posted.
I quit UO for Darkfall almost 10 years ago, deciding to try some other games untill Darkfall came out.
Now that might make me look like a moron, but dont worry about me ive been having a good time checking in on Darkfall as the years progressed.
Now let me get down to the point:
FACT IS: Tasos Flambouras has NEVER before 2008 given a DATE!
Fact: That date got extended by one month and a few days, and thats the ONLY time he has said something that didn't happen.
If you want to call him a liar because of that ONE MONTH then u sir are an idiot.
Extending launch by one month is completly consistent with pretty much every other MMO Launch in recent history, and u know what, most likely they will have to extend it another month, or keep the launch for a limited amount of players for the first month or two, and thats fine.
Because thats how it is when u are developing a game with no money.
Before 2008 all that was ever mentioned was the beta testing proccess, well do u know what TESTING means?
Testing means that if something goes wrong, like an in-house developed engine that needs rework, u have to go back to scratch, and yeah, that means starting all over. They never made any secret of this.
Also Darkfall does not fall under the definition of Vaporware, by ur OWN copy-pasted wiki definition:
"software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge..."
Fails to emerge
Didn't notice that part ?
Darkfall is coming, it might suck, it might lag, it might all have been a waste, but that doesn't stop me from trying it.

Did you even read all those things Tasos said and see the links provided in the OP? I mean to say that you think Tasos never lied after seeing all of that makes one think you either didnt read the OP, or that you are very foolish and blind as well. Try re-reading the OP and holding back your personal attacks against someone citing negative FACTS against your game of choice this time.
Also Darkfall does not fall under the definition of Vaporware, by ur OWN copy-pasted wiki definition:
"software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge..."

Again, looks like you totally failed to even read the OP, and are too quick to attack him and call him names.
Read the whole definition given by Wiki and you'll see that by the Wiki definition, Darkfall IS indeed vaporware.
Vaporware is a term used to describe a software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge after having well exceeded the period of development time that was initially claimed or would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product. The term implies unwarranted optimism, an as yet unannounced abandonment of a project, or sometimes even deception; that is, it may imply that the announcer knows that product development is in too early a stage to support responsible statements about its completion date, feature set, or even feasibility. However, most vaporware would not be considered a hoax since the makers have a genuine intention to create their product, even if it ultimately never materializes. Products with unspecified release dates or long development times that outwardly demonstrate regular, verifiable progress in production are not normally labeled vaporware.
See the part about what would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product, and I think we call all agree that Darkfall has now been in development for a very long period of time, 10 years as you said so yourself.
The definition also goes on to say that most vaporware would not be considered a hoax since the makers have a genuine intention to create their product even if it ultimately never materializes.
You sir have FAILED to actually read and comprehend the OP before jumping all over him with personal attacks. Don't worry, you aren't the only DF fan who has attacked him and called him names for saying stuff you simply don't want to hear.
However, the OP provided clear, easy to understand facts. He also provided proof of those facts. Whether or not you like them, want to see them or believe them is a different story. But calling him names like a moron without any evidence yourself countering those facts he has clearly demonstrated doesn't bode well for your agenda.
You are pointing a finger at the OP. Not at Tasos or AV or anyone who is obviously much more at blame here. When you have you finger pointed at him and fail to back up your name calling, remember that while you point at him and call him an "idiot", you have 4 fingers on your own hand pointing right back in your direction.
Looking past all the inflamatory nonsense that has no bearing, lets get to the two points u did try to make:
1. Personal attacks:
Read the name of this thread.
"Mr Tasos Flambouras with skills maxxed in deciet, dishonesty, and misleading comments"
That is not only name dropping (instead of saying "the devs of darkfall"), but also a direct defamation of character, and that my friend is the very definition of a personal attack, look it up, u might learn something today.
2: The definition of vaporware.
I guess I have to spell it out.
When the wikpedia definition that the OP himself posted says: "Fails to emerge"
Then that means the software product being described is one that NEVER GETS RELEASED.
Never getting released is in other words prerequisite for being vaporware.
Which means if Darkfall gets released which is now very likely, by the OPs own definition it is not Vaporware.
Id also like to adress ur Fanboi accusation.
I dont mind being put into a category as long as that category accuratly represents my own views.
So if by Fanboy, u mean a person who will try Darkfall online when it is released, then by all means, I am that person.
However if u by Fanboy mean a person who will not be critical to Darkfall no matter what happens, then no I am not that person, Im as sceptical as the next person, I like the IDEA of Darkfall, but im as many others worried about things like lag, server populations, dominating Zerg guilds etc etc, all of which if not handled properly by the devs could ruin this game.
So to end it, this thread fails, it presents facts, but only very subjectively and attempts to misrepresent them as being some indicator of the games supposedly imminent downfall.

Your interpretation of "Fails to emerge" is wrong. It can't be "never gets released" because never doesn't really exist for a videogame. We would all agree on Duke Nukem 3D bieng vaporware. But maybe some company will start developing it in 2020, or next century, and succesfully release it. That won't mean it's not vaporware now.
Until you have payed money for Product A, you have no right to complain about Product A. The haters should shut up. I've payed money for Eve Online, so I have a right to complain about Eve Online, and I says it's a Ganker's paradise.
LMFAO. If you think Eve is a harsh virtual existence, then you should quite plainly stay the hell out of the world that Darkfall shall present to you. AAAAAA! Wrong Eve Online fanboy. Eve Online is a ganker's paradise because you must pass through these narrow gates called "wormholes" as you travel from one zone (system) to another zone (system), and a PVP'er can "web" you making movement impossible as you get ganked. Looks like there will be no "gate camping" in darkfall, and the ease to escape from PVP would be like UO.
Atleast Eve presents a stable working environment for which you can play in, and Darkfall will not only present you to a world full of nothing but e-peen comparing azzholes, but a world that will also be unstable as hell and its bugs and errors will also grief you to death.
Sounds like fun, lol.
Maybe you are just mad because there will not be time-skill-training, and you can't gank noobs anymore simply because you have been subscribed a little bit longer then the noobs.
To even try and compare a great, high quality and already released and successful game like Eve Online to the currently still vaporware pile of crap that is Darkfall Online is utterly absurd and ridiculous. I can't even believe I have been "dumbed down" enough by the Darkfall fanatics so much already that I am even debating this stupidity with you.
No, I don't currenlty subscribe to Eve Online. I prefer fantasy mmo games, and only played Eve on and off for about 2 months. But I also know that Eve Online kicks the living shit out of what is currently available in beta called Darkfall.
From what i've seen and read, Darkfall will kick the ass of Eve Online.
Yes, it is currently doing something full of "ass" - Here are the TOP 12 REASONS how Darkfall = "Ass":
1) If you want to kill something/someone and not be able to loot it, "ass"
2) If you want to wait 30 seconds for a gravestone to appear to loot, nice "ass"
3) If you like running the exact same speed as every other player no matter how much you skill up, "ass" again
4) If you like boring fighting that consists of only 2 actions over and over, more "ass-tastic fun.
5) If you like magery that blows chunks and you can do more damage with the worst weapon, guess what?
6) If you enjoy running at a super slow frame rate and speed if over 5 people are near you, YAY! ASS Man!
7) If you enjoy spawning at any town and seeing 40 greys that only find fun in trying to gank you immediately, ass fun man (and no, not a hot ass either, we are talking big fat hairy wart infested type ass when I say ass)
8) If you enjoy loot that all looks almost exactly the same, and every character looks identical, ASS!
9) If you enjoy walking for miles without seeing a mob while exploring, ASS-TASTIC!
10) If you enjoy complete lack of NPCs and banks as big grey boxes in the middle of a town, yep, Ass again!
11) If you enjoy mindlessly shooting spells into the air or ground just to skill up, hairy ass fun, oh boy!
12) If you enjoy clicking your mouse clickety click click and think that is more skill then clicking hot bar icons in WoW, then I guess you have some real hairy ass skills over the WoW players, but I would care to disagree.
Yes, I agree on how much Darkfall LICKS ASS! Oops did you say kicks ass or licks ass? Surely you made a typo.
If the Darkfall retail box had legs, it would kick your ass.

Its not "my interpretation", the definition of vaporware is software that is hyped early, goes into long production, but never gets released. As the OP copied from wikipedia.
Which means by definition, the moment Duke nukem 4 ever gets released it will sease to be Vaporware.
Fallout 3, not vaporware anymore.

So then, Darkstar, you agree that Darkfall is currently "Vaporware" just like Diablo 3 right now as both have not yet released, right?
And this means that you changed your mind about vaporware from your initial post attacking the OP stating that Darkfall obviously is not vaporware.
Boy, for being so sure of yourself, you sure are wishy-washy.

nono, pay attention.
While u might argue its Vaporware its becoming increasingly clear that for good or bad Darkfall is actually being released, so I would by no means call Darkfall vaporware at this t ime. Ask me two years ago I would have said something else.
Hmm, now wait just a moment. Is this dude a fan of Darkfall or not?

I guess my original reply got deleted.
So ill post again:
I see where u are confused, but ill explain it for you.
I know that in ur mind u want to put ppl into one of two categories, its a very common tactic used in discussion, specially by f.eks. trolls.
So in this case that would by Fanboi or Hater.
And thats it, ur either one or the other and nothing in between.
Well, thats really a silly way to look at people, people are never 100% one stereotype, they will always be more grey areas then black and white.
So in this case, while I might certainly fall MORE towards the fanboi category then you, and you fall more towards the hater category then me neither of us are 100% either.
If Darkfall gets a successfull release and people say what most beta testers are saying now, that the game is alot of fun, then you will try it.
While I on the other hand have no problem being sceptical to Darkfalls design flaws, like the current siege timer settings, those needs to copy Shadowbane and not be what they currently are set for, also the whole boat system is one im sceptical towards since I dont see the point. Why spend a tremendous amount of resources to make a boat only to have it blown away in battle for seemingly no reason.
Stuff like that will make or break this game in the long run.
I do however disagree with all ur opinions about the dev teams release schedule, because i know what the word testing means, and that there is always that worst case scenario that takes u back to the drawing board.
I won't ask you to read my whole OP man. Obviously that is way over your abilities. So I'll narrow it down to just ONE thing. Tasos, as he stated on Dec 4, 2008 said that Darkfall was "FEATURE COMPLETE and ready for launch now".. on that date of Dec 4. He said it was tested and ready for launch. Over two months ago as of now.
OBVIOUSLY IT WASN'T as they are still patching it like mad and it is missing tons of promised features still.
Tell me please how this was not untruthful in your eyes. Please explain to me how you see that as "honest" in any way, shape, or form. And attacking me doesn't help your cause here.
Just one question since you seem to think Tasos is so great and such an honest and wonderful guy.
And let's refrain from using words like "holy", "trust", "faith", and "Oh Mighty" huh? Those big spiritual words won't help you explain just this one simple question.
- Zaxx
Show me your proof that Tasos knew that the game was not ready for launch when that post was made.
Well...it didnt release,did it? What does that tell you?
He also mentioned gamers needing a 6600GT or equivalent to run it. No doubt those with top end PCs ,eg,owners of 8600GS with 1gig ram will be getting well over 200fps.
ROTF, wonder what I would get with my Intel E8400 Dual Core CPU, 9800XT Video Card, and 4 GB of RAM? Hell, I'll probably be able to see that 200 vs 200 battles at about 300 fps and run by myself through the forest at 1000 fps or so! - and remember, that's BEFORE they improve it with optimizations! {chuckles}
- Zaxx
If yours will do that, then my
ATI-4850 512mb
Q6600 OC'd 3.0
6gigs 800mhz
Asus P5ND sli ready
Maybe I will crash their servers lmao. Hell, my comp is probably so much overkill that my performance will actually forcefully decrease itself to meet the demand of DF. Sometimes from what tasos says, I start thinking something terrible may happen if I login to DF. Is their such thing as overly compatable? Hell I would probably get 80+ Fps just on integrated graphics with my mobo.
Running it on all that? Youre right,in fact your computer will likely ingest itself. If 200fps is possible on a single core,your characters are going to be moving around like the Flash or that speedy woman in heroes. Youll be a pvp legend as no one will ever see you coming.

lol. How can these fans trust and even try and stand up for Tasos after reading the OP. Either they didn't even read the OP of this thread, or they are so far gone, they are simply hopeless. How can blind faith be so able to read and make concrete everything Tasos says, except when what he says turns out to be bullshit, then its like he never said it at all. Just amazing. I bet Jesus Christ is jealous of the blind faith that this tasos guy is getting from some of these fanatics.
Hell, I have never pre-ordered a game in my life. But I do agree the release date push backs are unprecedented.. besides why would I want to pre-order something that smells like garbage??

Not quite sure why i asked, since i don't exactly think DF is a hot chick... urgh im confusing myself now
Comments
Hmm, maybe I secretly work for EA or Blizzard and I'm scared shitless that Darkfall Online will be the "bestest game eva made" and take away millions of my current customers!
Actually I am home today, my lil' boy is with his mommy... so I am bored and it's frigid cold outside.
Also, if I can help even one person not give their pre-order money to the company behind this game who I honestly feel is corrupt, deceitful, and misleading as hell - then I am happy with my efforts.
- While it may look like I took much longer then I actually did to write my OP (original post) here, it actually only took me a little more then an hours time. There is TONS of information and useful sources out there to back up my suspicions and feelings about this game not being all that it promises and Tasos being misleading and deceptive.
- Zaxx
I don't have the history nor have looked at this game for more than 12 months , but i have come to the same conclusion. I usually give games a try and pay for them with hope that I will enjoy them and by paying for them I think that even if they fail it is good for the gaming industry in general. It shows that people are willing to pay for games and devs should continue to make them (because good ones can make money). But this is the only exception I can think of where there is not a snowballs chance in hell that I will give them my money.
I did not quote the op first thread but you have told me why I have come to this conclusion. I really didn't know why before. All the people with the ability to reason, think, and speak in a some reasonable tone have left. Only the flaming, killer jerks are left to wait for this one. I have never ever seen a community so closed minded and unreasonable before. And it contnues till this very day on thier forum. I had hopes 6+ months ago when i found out the game but no longer. Tks to you for explainig things to me. I appreciate it.
ps. Ziembee That is the funniest top ten or however many there I have ever seen. Dave awaits!!! Even if I wanted to play I would have to laugh at that.
ROTF, Shouldn't you have been banned a long time ago for name calling, flaming, and getting so upset about all the negative posts about your beloved game? Heh.
And furthermore, I know you hate any and all threads that don't put your game or your god Tasos in the best of light. What ever will you do when judgment day finally arrives for your game and it gets an overall thumbs down as opposed to pointing towards the heavens as Tasos has promised you so many times in your Darkfall forums bible that you so faithfully believe in?
- Zaxx
Luckily I have not been banned, which I appreciate.
And your threads are in no way constructive critiques. It is like your personal vendetta to ruin whatever potential this game may have.
It almost looks like you are getting paid for this, I can not imagine how much time you must have put into those hundreds of long replies you have been posting for months here.
Thats very funny, and I give you a big azz 0 for that post. Here is why genius, you assume he has tried to "ruin" the potential of DF...thats a amazing statement. So in your eyes he has the POWER! Wrong, he has the potential to enlighten, that is all. IF people agree with him it is by thier own free will based on what he has posted. See how that works? I see nothing to indicated the OP lied in his inital post, but rather once again, enlightened us all by compiling the information.
Well it all come down to, if game is playable, stable, smooth and have enough to do to spent time play it , if it have fun for those who like harsh game enviroment, if it all have that, it will be succefull for the hardcore fansbase.
I must say the community is terible realy terible, but many hardcore you dont hear much they just concentrade on game.
Dont forget that about 60% of registered on official forum are ex themepark players so it seems like whole community are silly kids, but there are plenty hardcore clans serieus and wanne make something out of this mmorpg.
If 50k at first will play Darkfall out of 350k registered devs will be pleased and build on that further slowly growing and this was always there plan.
It dont matter what you all here say on forums you eather like Darkfall or not.
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.
It dont matter what you all here say on forums you eather like Darkfall or not.
And it doesn't matter what you say or how you want to dismiss the facts.
Facts are facts. And Tasos is a lying, egotistical schmuck who plays his fans like the little single brain celled followers that they act like.
I will instead let the game talk for me if it releases anytime soon.
And no im not impressed by a bunch of clippings from wikipedia, ive been following Darkfall for 10 years!
Thats right 10 years, I live in Norway, I played UO and I know exactly when Kjetil and the others started working on Darkfall, and I know all the history of the game as the op has posted.
I quit UO for Darkfall almost 10 years ago, deciding to try some other games untill Darkfall came out.
Now that might make me look like a moron, but dont worry about me ive been having a good time checking in on Darkfall as the years progressed.
Now let me get down to the point:
FACT IS: Tasos Flambouras has NEVER before 2008 given a DATE!
Fact: That date got extended by one month and a few days, and thats the ONLY time he has said something that didn't happen.
If you want to call him a liar because of that ONE MONTH then u sir are an idiot.
Extending launch by one month is completly consistent with pretty much every other MMO Launch in recent history, and u know what, most likely they will have to extend it another month, or keep the launch for a limited amount of players for the first month or two, and thats fine.
Because thats how it is when u are developing a game with no money.
Before 2008 all that was ever mentioned was the beta testing proccess, well do u know what TESTING means?
Testing means that if something goes wrong, like an in-house developed engine that needs rework, u have to go back to scratch, and yeah, that means starting all over. They never made any secret of this.
Also Darkfall does not fall under the definition of Vaporware, by ur OWN copy-pasted wiki definition:
"software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge..."
Fails to emerge
Didn't notice that part ?
Darkfall is coming, it might suck, it might lag, it might all have been a waste, but that doesn't stop me from trying it.
-Darkstar
{ Mod Edit }
You said it buddy. I will refrain from the name calling, since you seem to do it so very well yourself.
Did you even read all those things Tasos said and see the links provided in the OP? I mean to say that you think Tasos never lied after seeing all of that makes one think you either didnt read the OP, or that you are very foolish and blind as well. Try re-reading the OP and holding back your personal attacks against someone citing negative FACTS against your game of choice this time.
Again, looks like you totally failed to even read the OP, and are too quick to attack him and call him names.
Read the whole definition given by Wiki and you'll see that by the Wiki definition, Darkfall IS indeed vaporware.
Vaporware is a term used to describe a software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge after having well exceeded the period of development time that was initially claimed or would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product. The term implies unwarranted optimism, an as yet unannounced abandonment of a project, or sometimes even deception; that is, it may imply that the announcer knows that product development is in too early a stage to support responsible statements about its completion date, feature set, or even feasibility. However, most vaporware would not be considered a hoax since the makers have a genuine intention to create their product, even if it ultimately never materializes. Products with unspecified release dates or long development times that outwardly demonstrate regular, verifiable progress in production are not normally labeled vaporware.
See the part about what would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product, and I think we call all agree that Darkfall has now been in development for a very long period of time, 10 years as you said so yourself.
The definition also goes on to say that most vaporware would not be considered a hoax since the makers have a genuine intention to create their product even if it ultimately never materializes.
You sir have FAILED to actually read and comprehend the OP before jumping all over him with personal attacks. Don't worry, you aren't the only DF fan who has attacked him and called him names for saying stuff you simply don't want to hear.
However, the OP provided clear, easy to understand facts. He also provided proof of those facts. Whether or not you like them, want to see them or believe them is a different story. But calling him names like a moron without any evidence yourself countering those facts he has clearly demonstrated doesn't bode well for your agenda.
You are pointing a finger at the OP. Not at Tasos or AV or anyone who is obviously much more at blame here. When you have you finger pointed at him and fail to back up your name calling, remember that while you point at him and call him an "idiot", you have 4 fingers on your own hand pointing right back in your direction.
{ Mod Edit }
@ziembee:
Looking past all the inflamatory nonsense that has no bearing, lets get to the two points u did try to make:
1. Personal attacks:
Read the name of this thread.
"Mr Tasos Flambouras with skills maxxed in deciet, dishonesty, and misleading comments"
That is not only name dropping (instead of saying "the devs of darkfall"), but also a direct defamation of character, and that my friend is the very definition of a personal attack, look it up, u might learn something today.
2: The definition of vaporware.
I guess I have to spell it out.
When the wikpedia definition that the OP himself posted says: "Fails to emerge"
Then that means the software product being described is one that NEVER GETS RELEASED.
Never getting released is in other words prerequisite for being vaporware.
Which means if Darkfall gets released which is now very likely, by the OPs own definition it is not Vaporware.
Id also like to adress ur Fanboi accusation.
I dont mind being put into a category as long as that category accuratly represents my own views.
So if by Fanboy, u mean a person who will try Darkfall online when it is released, then by all means, I am that person.
However if u by Fanboy mean a person who will not be critical to Darkfall no matter what happens, then no I am not that person, Im as sceptical as the next person, I like the IDEA of Darkfall, but im as many others worried about things like lag, server populations, dominating Zerg guilds etc etc, all of which if not handled properly by the devs could ruin this game.
So to end it, this thread fails, it presents facts, but only very subjectively and attempts to misrepresent them as being some indicator of the games supposedly imminent downfall.
Which is biased and also obviously wrong.
-Darkstar
{ Mod Edit }
Your interpretation of "Fails to emerge" is wrong. It can't be "never gets released" because never doesn't really exist for a videogame. We would all agree on Duke Nukem 3D bieng vaporware. But maybe some company will start developing it in 2020, or next century, and succesfully release it. That won't mean it's not vaporware now.
LMFAO. If you think Eve is a harsh virtual existence, then you should quite plainly stay the hell out of the world that Darkfall shall present to you. AAAAAA! Wrong Eve Online fanboy. Eve Online is a ganker's paradise because you must pass through these narrow gates called "wormholes" as you travel from one zone (system) to another zone (system), and a PVP'er can "web" you making movement impossible as you get ganked. Looks like there will be no "gate camping" in darkfall, and the ease to escape from PVP would be like UO.
Atleast Eve presents a stable working environment for which you can play in, and Darkfall will not only present you to a world full of nothing but e-peen comparing azzholes, but a world that will also be unstable as hell and its bugs and errors will also grief you to death.
Sounds like fun, lol.
Maybe you are just mad because there will not be time-skill-training, and you can't gank noobs anymore simply because you have been subscribed a little bit longer then the noobs.
To even try and compare a great, high quality and already released and successful game like Eve Online to the currently still vaporware pile of crap that is Darkfall Online is utterly absurd and ridiculous. I can't even believe I have been "dumbed down" enough by the Darkfall fanatics so much already that I am even debating this stupidity with you.
No, I don't currenlty subscribe to Eve Online. I prefer fantasy mmo games, and only played Eve on and off for about 2 months. But I also know that Eve Online kicks the living shit out of what is currently available in beta called Darkfall.
From what i've seen and read, Darkfall will kick the ass of Eve Online.
Yes, it is currently doing something full of "ass" - Here are the TOP 12 REASONS how Darkfall = "Ass":
1) If you want to kill something/someone and not be able to loot it, "ass"
2) If you want to wait 30 seconds for a gravestone to appear to loot, nice "ass"
3) If you like running the exact same speed as every other player no matter how much you skill up, "ass" again
4) If you like boring fighting that consists of only 2 actions over and over, more "ass-tastic fun.
5) If you like magery that blows chunks and you can do more damage with the worst weapon, guess what?
6) If you enjoy running at a super slow frame rate and speed if over 5 people are near you, YAY! ASS Man!
7) If you enjoy spawning at any town and seeing 40 greys that only find fun in trying to gank you immediately, ass fun man (and no, not a hot ass either, we are talking big fat hairy wart infested type ass when I say ass)
8) If you enjoy loot that all looks almost exactly the same, and every character looks identical, ASS!
9) If you enjoy walking for miles without seeing a mob while exploring, ASS-TASTIC!
10) If you enjoy complete lack of NPCs and banks as big grey boxes in the middle of a town, yep, Ass again!
11) If you enjoy mindlessly shooting spells into the air or ground just to skill up, hairy ass fun, oh boy!
12) If you enjoy clicking your mouse clickety click click and think that is more skill then clicking hot bar icons in WoW, then I guess you have some real hairy ass skills over the WoW players, but I would care to disagree.
Yes, I agree on how much Darkfall LICKS ASS! Oops did you say kicks ass or licks ass? Surely you made a typo.
If the Darkfall retail box had legs, it would kick your ass.
What a deep disgussion. Hey lets talk politics, that always brings out the calm and rational in everyone. So who says Obama is a Communist?
Your interpretation of "Fails to emerge" is wrong. It can't be "never gets released" because never doesn't really exist for a videogame. We would all agree on Duke Nukem 3D bieng vaporware. But maybe some company will start developing it in 2020, or next century, and succesfully release it. That won't mean it's not vaporware now.
Its not "my interpretation", the definition of vaporware is software that is hyped early, goes into long production, but never gets released. As the OP copied from wikipedia.
Which means by definition, the moment Duke nukem 4 ever gets released it will sease to be Vaporware.
Fallout 3, not vaporware anymore.

So then, Darkstar, you agree that Darkfall is currently "Vaporware" just like Diablo 3 right now as both have not yet released, right?
And this means that you changed your mind about vaporware from your initial post attacking the OP stating that Darkfall obviously is not vaporware.
Boy, for being so sure of yourself, you sure are wishy-washy.
Hmm, now wait just a moment. Is this dude a fan of Darkfall or not?
Let's take a look at two different posts within an hours time of each other.
- And then we have him getting angry at being labeled a "fan":
I think this guy as almost as full of it as his hero Tasos is.

While u might argue its Vaporware its becoming increasingly clear that for good or bad Darkfall is actually being released, so I would by no means call Darkfall vaporware at this t ime. Ask me two years ago I would have said something else.

Awesome thread title
and people wonder why we think this game will have the most horrid community.........
I disaggree It does have that already.

Just a quick observation.
:-P
- Zaxx
I guess my original reply got deleted.
So ill post again:
I see where u are confused, but ill explain it for you.
I know that in ur mind u want to put ppl into one of two categories, its a very common tactic used in discussion, specially by f.eks. trolls.
So in this case that would by Fanboi or Hater.
And thats it, ur either one or the other and nothing in between.
Well, thats really a silly way to look at people, people are never 100% one stereotype, they will always be more grey areas then black and white.
So in this case, while I might certainly fall MORE towards the fanboi category then you, and you fall more towards the hater category then me neither of us are 100% either.
If Darkfall gets a successfull release and people say what most beta testers are saying now, that the game is alot of fun, then you will try it.
While I on the other hand have no problem being sceptical to Darkfalls design flaws, like the current siege timer settings, those needs to copy Shadowbane and not be what they currently are set for, also the whole boat system is one im sceptical towards since I dont see the point. Why spend a tremendous amount of resources to make a boat only to have it blown away in battle for seemingly no reason.
Stuff like that will make or break this game in the long run.
I do however disagree with all ur opinions about the dev teams release schedule, because i know what the word testing means, and that there is always that worst case scenario that takes u back to the drawing board.
-Darkstar
I won't ask you to read my whole OP man. Obviously that is way over your abilities. So I'll narrow it down to just ONE thing. Tasos, as he stated on Dec 4, 2008 said that Darkfall was "FEATURE COMPLETE and ready for launch now".. on that date of Dec 4. He said it was tested and ready for launch. Over two months ago as of now.
OBVIOUSLY IT WASN'T as they are still patching it like mad and it is missing tons of promised features still.
Tell me please how this was not untruthful in your eyes. Please explain to me how you see that as "honest" in any way, shape, or form. And attacking me doesn't help your cause here.
Just one question since you seem to think Tasos is so great and such an honest and wonderful guy.
And let's refrain from using words like "holy", "trust", "faith", and "Oh Mighty" huh? Those big spiritual words won't help you explain just this one simple question.
- Zaxx
Show me your proof that Tasos knew that the game was not ready for launch when that post was made.
Well...it didnt release,did it? What does that tell you?
ROTF, wonder what I would get with my Intel E8400 Dual Core CPU, 9800XT Video Card, and 4 GB of RAM? Hell, I'll probably be able to see that 200 vs 200 battles at about 300 fps and run by myself through the forest at 1000 fps or so! - and remember, that's BEFORE they improve it with optimizations! {chuckles}

If yours will do that, then my
