....I don't think I've ever seen something 'launch' like this. I've seen plenty of games that couldn't handle demand at launch and were forced into queues and stuff like that. But I've never seen a game that so drastically restricted who could even attempt to play the game (very limitd pre-orders) and then still not allow even those 'lucky' ones to play....
Their method seems like the less greedy of the two wouldn't you say? At least they don't have 100k+ people's money and are only allowing 10k online at a time
Can someone please alert me to where I may purchase this fine product? As a concerned prospect client I would also like to know the following:
Why is there no solid information on your website stating the game has been released?
If the game is released, why does the website still say its in beta?
Are all of the pre-order folks in game already?
How long can I expect to wait for my account to be activated after I have purchased this product as compared to when you have removed the money from my account?
Are all of the promised features in game as of right now?
In general network latency is a noticable via browser, or ping... you have taken your community offline because of "server load" when you are responding to requests in a normal 1 MS round trip packet to the forums. Love, Lucid.

Adventurine's business practices have been very unusual. This probably could have been a smoother process if they had managed to find a publisher. They may know how to develop an MMORPG but they don't appear to know shit about distrubition, billing, and how to market their product(keeping their website up to date, keeping in communication with their community, running a stable webserver, etc).
I think we can all clasify this game as "released" when it's in the "Released Games" section on this mmorpg site. Until then, it's in development. If people are playing a game wich is in development then they are participating in a beta.

stupid trolls.... you go here to make an account. www.darkfallonline.com/accounts/f/default.php the account site isn't back up yet. They said they will let people that haven't pre-ordered pay soon. but thats the site to look at.
So I am to understand... its not released? Good to know.

Space Monkeys and Cyber Goths... What are the chances of a Darkfall thread having both
Apparently higher than half the people that pre-ordered getting to play darkfall anytime soon.

Looks like someone goofed up here. Since it's also still in the "Games in Development" section on the sidebar.

Another prime example of why children should be seen but not heard. The Internet has brought us a host of 9 - 15 year old "hardcore" tough guys, LOL!

Even though a vast majority of pre-orders cant log in due to none-activation.
Let's sing the assumption song! Or rather, let's not. Read the news on the forum before you end up looking stupid...
He is absolutely right....
no its released. Just to the people that pre-ordered though.
Oh, so its limited paid-closed-beta.
Ok.

Yes, and people need to re-pre-post order.....
They botched this fucking game and turned it into a HUGE fail. This game is horrible in MANY people's eyes.....
