    I hear good things about darkfall.

    I also hear its forums can be hotbeds for epic fanboi vs troll battles.

    Darkfall is at a true 50-50 split.

    From what I can read, 50% love it and 50% hate it.

    I' am going to end up buying it, just to at least try it.

    And yes, there are some epix forum battles.

    Honestly, with the current levels of activity on the Darkfall forums compared to the rest of them?

    I suspect a few of it's fanboys / Aventurine themselves have set up a macro spamming refresh on the page, or something similar.

    From what I can tell from everyone. Is that it is now in the state or just about to where it should have been at release. So AV is trying to do right by there game and make it better all the time. That really about all that anyone that is a fan of any game can ask from the developers is that they keep trying to make it better.

    How many delicate flowers have you met in Counterstrike?

    Define popular? Do you mean it's popular to talk on forums about Darkfall, or that they have a large subscription base?

    The subs for DF, I believe, are rather small compared to the average successful MMORPG.

    I played it and wasn't impressed. I think the games had better success in Europe because its been out longer than here in the US, but, it still isn't all that great I didn't feel.

    Darkfall fanbots are known to organize massive votes in favor of their game.

    Popular as in it has around 7000+ hits today on this website vs the usual biggest hit game Aion which is only at about 2000. Is there some news or something that got people clicking Darkfall today?

    Yes it was, someone just posted that they got banned because AV screwed their account info after they paid for 6 months in advance, I think thats what got it the attention, DF gets attention when things like this happen and ppl tend to go there and pretty much get some entretainment out of the fanbois trying to spin it as a good thing.

    Bad news always sells better than good news and attracts a higher ratio of readers.

    Darkfall has had more than it's fair share of bad news stories since being released.

    If your refering to the forums the "Darkfall can do no wrong" fanboi club vs the people who played the game and didnt like it/ trolls  was classical reading.

    (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH Stands over tasos unconcious body full of plungers)

    All my opinions are just that..opinions. If you like my opinions..coolness.If you dont like my opinion....I really dont care.

    Funny, when you look on the number of subs it is one of the smallest games around. Df is so "popular" because it's fans are lobbying it more than most others.

    I have nothing whatsoever against Darkfall but calling it popular is wrong. The DF fans are however a lot more dedicated than the fans of most other games.

    I am rather impressed that Avi have been able to keep the game running and updating it, so the game is somewhat succesful but you can't compare it with games like LOTRO, Eve or Guildwars in the number of players.

    And I would be forced to state that popularity is about the number of players. Brittney Spears is more popular than Trent Reznor, she sells more records. That doesn't mean that Brittneys albums are better than a Nine inch nails albums, but popular doesn't mean better.

    WHOA stop the presses...do you have any PROOF to back up these fallacious statements?

  • DoktorTeufelDoktorTeufel Member UncommonPosts: 413

    I love how Darkfall fanboys say "Go back to WoW." EVE Online players say that a lot too, but EVE Online is a good game that actually matters, so EVE players are actually justified in using the phrase.

    Probably if it werent a screensaver, but this has nothing to do with the discussion on hand.

     

    Go back to EVE

    Other than you making quite a few references to having posted on here before this account, such as claiming that you were beating people at arguments on here "ages ago" within the same week as you creating the account?
