TO the OP: Of course it's a total failure but what else could you expect ? DFO has many red flags. This epic fail is one more disaster for all MMORPGs'community. Because DFO was , in theory, our last chance: AOC failed, War failed, DFO is an epic fail, TR failed, POTBS failed, Vanguard failed.
Oh you trolls are so cute. Call me back when Darkfall isn't sold out. Fail? Hardly.
The launch is a disaster, preordering is a disaster, and most of us won't be able to play until mid march (if not later). Why is Aventurine not being honest with us? These things DO NOT mean the game will tank though as a lot of mmo's have similar problems during launch, and given that the company that is publishing DF is probably the most unproffessional company that ever tried to make a p2p mmo, you really had to expect that this would happen to DF especially. The problem is Aventurine is not saying "we screwed up", and keep saying its "out of their hands" and is due to foriegn factors. ORLY? Why can MANY other companies launch a game just fine without things imploding? Its because they considered the potential problems and found countermeasures for them, you guys didn't, that's your fault and no one else's. Its also your fault that only 10k-30k people will be able to play on launch, you guys ran out of money before you had time to finish the game and obtain rescources for a launch [ they really didn't use their time wisely, they seemed to have been more busy making a large gameworld than figuring out how features work together and how to impliment features (there are disgusting imbalances and HUGE problems with the features that DID make it in game atm)]
Other companies arent trying to publish 10 million dollar game with 10$ publishing budget.
it's out of their hands because their creditors wont loan them enough to buy proper servers.

You can't be serious? Since when did a game selling out through orders mean anything other then good marketing? That fact doesn't have squat to do with what people are experiencing when the game actually opens it's server doors-or in this case doesn't. When a game goes live (or doesn't when it should) is when you can start looking at it as a failure or not.
Seriously, stop enabling shitty game development by playing the apologist and blind fan.

From reading these boards I gather you are a Mod for Av on their forum?
Just how much do they pay you to come here and post such ignorant drival?
I really find it hard to fathom that MMORPG.COM allows such blatant trolling from a fanboy and probable employ of Av.
Who the hell knows if it is sold out? They can't even get their acknowledgements working correctly and I doubt that your employeer has a clue to how many copies actually sold. Either that or they are doing nothing but totally lying and you are being sent out as a cover man to put up a smoke screen around the scam.

Dark and Light sold out pre-orders also.
Next?
Dark and Light also didn't function. I've played the beta, Darkfall is fine.

i won't waste 1 sec more with poor people like you.
Darkfall sure has spawned a revolution alright. I've never seen trolls this dumb before. Really.
They're flooding in IRC saying this is the worst launch in the history of MMOs, just because they didn't get their pre order. Sad and pathetic? Yes.
I think you got it wrong.

People were playing in the Dark and Light beta. They were also told that what they were playing in that beta was not the same as what they'd be playing at release. They were told things needed to be turned on, "disabled" content would be in at release, etc., etc. Guess what?
Darkfall will be such teh awesomesauce that Aventurine doesn't need to take responsibility for anything DARKFALL 09 WOOOOOOOOO! Yes we can! Yes we can!
Call me back when Darkfall is actually functional and the people who pre-ordered are playing. Fail? Totally.
Fixed that for ya.
It doesn't do any good to gloat when the launch is such a disaster, you know. Maybe if Darkfall was actually up and running, you'd have a leg to stand on. Right now? Not so much.
I havent bought the game im waiting to hear how it is first but Warhammer / GoA in europe launce was /pre launch was worse in my opinion.At least these guys appear to have put there hands up pritty fast about the fuck ups.

You cannot comment on a LAUNCH, until a game is LAUNCHED, that's kind of the point. But you trolls have wanted this game to suffer from the start, some going so far as to DDOS it the day beta opened up. Don't really know why you'd attack and indie company while Funcom runs away with one of the biggest scams in MMO history. But you know, thats just me...
This thread kinda reminds me of that old saying, "Armchair Quarterbacks", in the sense that everyone here is an expert in the going ons with launching an MMO behind the scenes, especially from another country with alot of various internet problems that can occur. They, of course being Armchair Quarterbacks, wouldn't realize that a ton of the problems that may occur, because of being in a separate country and having a semi-global launch, can actually be out of Aventurine's hands. Then again, this is mmorpg.com, where if a problem with Darkfall occurs it's 100% Aventurine's fault even if it was proven to be a mouse under the troll/hater's computer desk, chewing away at the cords.
right here
Dethnoble your post here would make absolute sense, and I would agree with you if not for the history of these guys. Many games have missed their TENTATIVE dates before, and pushed back the game a couple of months because they felt they needed more polish, tweaking, more time to eliminate bugs, Ect.
But when The man claims this is ready to release tomorrow (in 2003), and then 6 years later they cant release on a confirmed date, is just undeffendable. Like I say, Under any other circumstance I agree with you 100%, but 6 years to be proactive on ensuring a successfull release. Espicially when it appears they have decided some time ago to have the game support only the 16 fans or whatever it is.

Lack of launch during the scheduled launch time is in fact a bad launch and a valid subject for commentating.

keep making excuses like the good little mod you are for Darkfall.
Face it, no game has never not launched the day they were supposed to without prior warning....AV dropped the ball hard, they cant even get billing or vbulletin forums (which are amongst the easiest to use) to function properly...this has been, the worst launch thus far in gaming, why? because they couldnt even get it to launch.

My guess is the DDOS attack was due to ADV talking sh*t. Probaly was a wow kiddie
If it can be hacked it will be hacked. Some hackers just look for an easy prey sorta like pvp games with full loot.

That's a pathetic excuse. Today was LAUNCH DAY, remember? You even gloated about it and everything. People have actually paid money to AV now, and the game was supposed to go live TODAY. It hasn't. Yes, people can comment on how incompetent AV are being right now.

More pathetic excuses. I have said repeatedly that I'd like to see a game like Darkfall succeed because more variety for gamers is a GOOD thing. It's not my fault that Aventurine are so pathetic at their jobs that they can't even get the game they said would launch today up and running like they promised.
