18 days to go and no info on how to buy the game or where.....
yet again.
Didnt we just play that song already ? Tasos will announce a week before launch that the game is "feature complete" but we want to ensure the best possible launch ever so we're delaying the game for 2 more months.
Reminds me of 2003 when Tasos said Beta apps were being taken and was coming soon. Then he repeated himself in 2004 and 2005.
Im starting to think the developers dont want to launch this game. Perhaps theyre making more money from govt grants and loans to develop the game. 8 years and counting and another delay is coming.
There are? In what version? certainly not in the beta version the testers are playing.
You are missing the OP's point entirely. Beta testers are not even TESTING spawn points, mob AI or anything like that.... those things are way below testing stuff like ' player-buildable cities' and ships and guild functions... all of which ALSO have not been tested.
The things that are being tested now are the most basic elements of a 'game'. WIth two weeks to go, they haven't even begun testing things that are really simple. There is going to be NO testing of advanced features.
If you only knew how wrong you were, and how ridiculous you look to anyone actually in beta. Do you guys just dream this stuff up in your heads and assume that is how it is or something?
You know that I feel you pain. MMORPG.com really needs to start enforcing their own policies.

Totally agree with OP. Best mmo i played was shadowbane. Was, because i cannot stand ugly graphics and dead barren world. I need pretty, detailed and live environment. Doesnt need to be as pretty as Guild wars or Shaiya. If it is close to warhammer, fine for me.
I hope Mortal Online comes soon. It has best graphics i ever seen in game. But i also hope to play DF until then.
GL to DF team, make the world alive. I dont need quests from NPC, i just need them to be there, even for nothing as decorations.
Playing: Rohan
Played (from best to worst): Shadowbane, Guild Wars, Shayia, Age of Conan, Warhammer, Runes of Magic, Rappelz, Archlord, Knight online, King of Kings, Kal online, Last chaos

Well it's 97 locations to be exact.
Here is the quote:
"There are 44 unique massive clan city sites like that one in Darkfall and 53 unique clan villages and hamlets."

The beta testers dont think its a emty world. They are having a great time playing.
And who started the "emty world" talk from the first place???? And compared to what??? And yes, there is no quests in DF. Just some beginners quest to learn the basics. Its not a quest based game.
To be fair...
There have been a number of Beta leakers complaining about the empty world.
Now sure, I suppose its possible you might not have seen any of those leaks that said that... but they are pretty common.
Your first HUGE mistake is trying to compare Darkfall to EQ2, AoC, Vanguard, and Warhammer Online.
Your second HUGE mistake is trying to compare AV to Sigil, SOE, and Blizzard Entertaiment.
To get better perspective and be much more realistic in your comparisons, you should compare Darkfall to games like Age of Mourning and Dark and Light. And then compare Aventurine to companies like "Limitless Horizons". Do that, and we can talk. Right now, you are simply speaking gibberish. And you are making comparisons which lift Darkfall into a whole realm where it doesn't belong and is just out right ridiculous to even think about or say.

I had the displeasure of reading all your posts. You really are quite ignorant.

So, are you saying you are in beta? And you can confirm that the things being discussed here are actually in game and functioning as intended?
Otherwise, each of these concerns are just as valid as your statement as to how wrong we are.
I mean hey, help a plebe out...

Not true. The majority opinion is that it's fine as it is, once again don't forget that there are 100 player-buildable cities/villages to be built, along with all the trade routes those will create, on top of the existing mob spawns.
Also note that it's meant to be like a real world -- it's not like WOW where every square cm of the map is covered in static, dumb mobs that are on a 60 sec respawn timer, in Darkfall, mobs have/build their own camps and structures, or hang out in ruins, certain mobs only 'spawn' at night, other mobs, like dragons, fly over the continent constantly and wtfpwn both mobs and players.
