How long before this game closes down?
As the title says. How long do you think it will take for this game to follow games like Mourning and Dark and Light and close down?
Comments
not long, the game is one of the worst mmo's ever released, if not the worst, YES even worse then dark and light.
Yeah kinda figured as much because the reaction I am seeing on these forums are quite similar to those seen when Dark and Light and Mourning were released. Hence this poll.

It will never close down. Pvpers like this game, and as long as they only keep one server up it will last forever. :P
it wont close down in 1 month or even 3. There are still plenty of people out there wanting to test the game and we have not been given access to the shop yet. Once all that cash is in the game they could easily keep going for about a year and hope they find a loyal playerbase big enough to keep the game afloat (they will).
In short...no it wont close down soon
MMO wish list:
-Changeable worlds
-Solid non level based game
-Sharks with lasers attached to their heads
Ill give it a year, once the hardcore fanbois get over it and everyone that wants to try it gets in and figures out is BLOWS.

Im PvPer and I dont like this game. Reason being is that it doesn't seem particulary well developed with tons of bugs and missing features.
Not all PvPers are bloodthirsty freaks that just want to gank people and nothing else.

Is it "open" yet ?
and your sig sucks
I think it might survive a few motnhs before they sell it to SOE.........
It will not be long before the game goes belly up.
If it closes down it wont be until after the summer. It all depends on how good Mortal online is, what I seen from it looks very intresting and it are after the same players as DF.
I don't see it closing down without the release of a better PvP game. The final nail might of course be when Guildwars 2 comes out (probably late 2010), that game will be hard on all PvP based games.
So If MO is good I'd say 3 months after it's release, otherwise 2011 if it havn't improved a lot by then. But you never knows, some people seems to like the game and they don't need that many players to keep it running.
I'd say that will be greater than 6 months. Maybe a year or two. Until something else comes along for this niche market, I don't think the fans will leave.
Well, WAR is already closing up servers and following Conan's trail.. And they really put some effort on marketing and game developement - and it still wasn't enough to please the masses... I'd give Darkfall approx. 3months until they disappear. Of course they might get this much rumoured miracle patch that solves everything. But then again, I don't believe in fairytales anymore..
Anyways, who cares? There's like fistfull of people willing to play the game and pretty soon they get bored to skill and trademats grinding.
Hopefully, it lives on and become a success story. Realistically, I can see it going fine until the release of Mortal Online. Obviously if Mortal Online has a bad launch too, Darkfall will benefit.
Well full loot pvp has a small player base and since AV cut most of it's features they have no hope of more people coming in to try it. add to that dated graphics and major bugs , plus now we hear of hacks and game killer cheating going on i don't see this working out for too long. is a shame with the features they had listed i , even tho i hate full loot pvp would have gave it a shot.. but now it is no more the a silly gank game with a few thousand fanbois playing..i would guess that they cut more then half the good features and left only what is need to gank each other..
What he said. Though I don't know what the terms are of any debt they have incurred is. Someone might pull the rug sooner. It appears they can not afford any staff beyond the original dev team. Whether it's possible to run a game with no staff remains to be seen. AV meet mr rock and mr hardplace.
Lol. People like their illusions...
Don't bother posting a long post in a thread like this. You should improve your troll-noticing skills though.
You know about thier bond? Kind of worrying they can't even afford to put up new severs. Or are you suggesting that all the fanbots are dillusional. Kind of unclear which side of the fence you are on. I guess from the lack of clarity a fanbot?
After detailed research, analysis and pondering: It's pretty much fucked.
pvp for guild assets is not going to die easy. It's here to stay unless ome major things happend to it!

As long as they can keep making a profit it will keep running, there is really nothing like it out there so it has a unique niche, now when other open pvp games come out it may run into problems ( or if the other games are horrid it may bring allot more to DF ), but as long as they meet the margins the game will continue, so it could end in a week or in 10 years only timke will tell.
A statement like this just shows that you are blindly attacking something you have never played.
Dark & Light wasn't playable and nothing worked. Darkfall works fine and the majority of the promised features are in (I'd say 80%).
It definitely needs more polishing, and we are pretty much paying to beta test the game. But I have to give them credit for making it only a limited release and trying to improve the game little by little.
Since launch, the game HAS become more and more polished. They went from 4 hour queues one week to no queues at all now. There is progress being made.
The game is insanely fun. I would not trade my Darkfall account for any other MMO account.
nvm lol
Thats just in this forum
DF forums has like like x40 more viewers and hardly any troll posts such as this.
The people playing the game have found their promise land. The ones that say it suck dont understand what its about, they look at it from a traditional mmo standpoint. And thousands more are trying to get accounts. LOL yeah this game is going down the drain.
