DF on sale @ Gamersgate for $14.97!
Anyone looking to get into the game?
Now is the perfect time, you can start a free trial and then buy a key from Gamersgate for $14.97, a 50% discount off of the regular price.
This is a great deal on a great game (if you are into full loot pvp). Highly recommended.

It's on sale for $14.97? So how much is it regularly? I wouldn't pay more than $10.
i agree with this ^^
and this coming from a eve player...
i bought LOTRO for 9,99 (about 1-2 year ago)
i bought Archlord for 9,99 (before it went FTP)
I bought EQ2 for 9,99 (about 2-3 years ago)
played each of those for 30 days didnt keep the sub going 10$ for 30 days + trial is what im willing to pay for a game that has an unknown future
though i will admit, Darkfall does have a promissing future... thats how eve online started and they seem to be going the same path...
i will keep an eye on it for now, but for the moment 50$ (or 14$ on sale) for the game + 14,99 sub is not worth it in its current state.
The only purpose of this thread (which I thought I had made quite clear) is for interested parties to be informed about the current sale on the game at Gamersgate, so they can save themselves some cash when purchasing a new or secondary account.
If you don't think it's worth more than ten dollars, or that the game is not for you, that's fine. However, please save those types of comments for a thread that is actually intended to discuss the game, which this thread is not.
Thank you.
in short you wrote, the game is 50% off and it costs 14,95
in short i answered, the game is not worth the 14,95
perfectly valid answer
Um unless I am misunderstanding you the $15 is the game + 30 days free, not $15 + another $15 for sub.. Normally it is $30, so half off. No different than any other mmo, all those games you listed as being $10 is because they have been out for a long time eventually DF will drop to that also(started at $50, just like all of those games did at launch).

$15 is a pretty good deal. With the upcoming expansions on the way (one being right around the corner), this is a good time to jump in. Or buy a second account.

I still see it for $29.95 on Gamersgate......sale over?
Hold on, that was a perfectly suitable comment for this discussion! Its purpose was to inform potential buyers that at least some part of the community does not think DarkFall is worth $10. Before I personally buy a game, I try to get an idea of what the general impression of a game is from the community. That post was informative to me, in that it dissuaded me from buying a product, even at $10, which I would probably not have liked.
I think people who don't want to pay over ten bucks for a game are morons.
You don't want to pay over ten bucks for a game.
You are a moron.
This is somehow related to the thread. Yeah..
i explained my reasoning,
what is yours?
That's not even proper reasoning
The proposition is that YOU THINK [if A then B]. A, so YOU THINK B.
Excuse us while we won't pay even ten bucks to be a part of a community of this type.
Its not very subtle to understand what OP tried with this thread.
Its giving info as in objective hard facts of quantitative nature. The "critics" replied with subjective evaluations of their expectations etc whats of qualitative nature.
Valid responses in the logic of the OP and this thread would have been (even negatives) for example : "no Gamersgate don't sell it for that amount" or "i have seen it on steam for xx $", or "now the offer ended on gemersgate"...
Replies like "its not worth it" don't fit here, they refer to a different category ..for example "is Darkfall a good game ?"..which isn't subject for discussion in this thread..
Everything should be clear now..

His unrelated argument was also based on what he thought. You apparently didn't catch the irony in my post, as i was merely remarking upon the fact that his reply was complete BS and unrelated to the topic.
So wait. Your answers really aren't based on the game itself, but on your perspective of the community? So you're admitting your answers really didn't have anything to do with the subject of this thread?
You're excused. Have fun with your other games.

A game largely depends on its community. If this thread is anything to go by, I would not want to be a part of it. Hence, I will not spend $15 on DarkFall.
This is relevant, because I am essentially only responding by stating why I will not accept the offer in the first post. I am not complaining about the game or saying that it is a bad game, because I don't think it is. I simply think I would not enjoy it. After all, if the subject of this thread is that DF is available for $15, am I not wholly entitled to say I will not make use of that offer? If I am not supposed to discuss on that, what is the point of placing this thread on discussion forums? This is not a commercial.
If you're still not convinced, ask yourself would you have reacted similarly to somebody saying "Yes! I will definitely go and buy it now!"? Essentially, all that message does is state that person's reaction to the sale. I don't believe anybody would have complained about a message like that, though, and I also don't believe that approval or rebuttal of the offer is what qualifies a person to post in this thread. If you post a thread like this, you must realise a lot of people are going to say that either a) hooray, they're gonna buy it now, or b) not a chance they will.
In case you're not familiar with internet forums: the majority of mmo gamers do not read or post on them. Therefore if your opinion on specific communities is based on posts made here or some place else, you're going to be a tad inaccurate to say the least.

"I don't think the game is worth it, but I've never played it. Also, I expect the Darkfall community to throw roses my way for saying this."
Actual response: "It's on sale for $14.97? So how much is it regularly? I wouldn't pay more than $10."
Anything mentioned about the community in there? No. Does that have a negative connotation to it that is guaranteed to attract defensive responses? Yes. Does it have anything at all to do with the subject of the thread? No.
Actual response: "in short you wrote, the game is 50% off and it costs 14,95. in short i answered, the game is not worth the 14,95. perfectly valid answer"
Anything mentioned about the community? No. Does it come across as negative? A bit, but not as much as the first one. Is it related to the subject? No.
Your first response: "Hold on, that was a perfectly suitable comment for this discussion! Its purpose was to inform potential buyers that at least some part of the community does not think DarkFall is worth $10. Before I personally buy a game, I try to get an idea of what the general impression of a game is from the community. That post was informative to me, in that it dissuaded me from buying a product, even at $10, which I would probably not have liked."
Why did you state that you knew the purpose of the first answers? Did you discuss their purpose with the authors before stating that you knew what it was? If the answer's purpose really was to inform potential buyers that the game isn't worth $10, then it would've stated why. Sarcastically stating the game isn't even worth $10 with no qualifications has only one purpose. Trolling.
And you're basing your opinion of the value of a game and its community on rebuttals to negative/incorrect answers in forums? Answers that have zero mention of the community or any qualifications of why the game isn't worth $10 let alone $15. A game you admittedly might like, but won't try. And you expect the community in the game to just smile and wave at you? These are forums dedicated to DF. What else did you expect?
Like I mentioned before, enjoy your other games.

Lol DF threads really are like a red flag to some posters on these boards.
"Come and have a look at what you could have won."
Meh, I wouldn't say they are morons..... they just aren't the type of players the game would likely overtly appeal to. Right now on the market there are basically 2 games that have full loot and FFA PvP with a fantasy setting. 1 is DarkFall and the Other is Mortal Online. Of those 2 only one really is worth picking up which is DFO. If your into FFA PvP and Full loot in a fantasy setting then DFO being on sale for $14.97 will likely interest you. If DFO on sale for $14.97 doesn't interest you then likely they just aren't really all that into FFA PvP with full loot in a fantasy setting.
If they feel the need to post about how they don't feel DFO is even worth $10 then they likely just have an overwhelming need to express to others that FFA PvP with full loot in a fantasy setting just isn't what there into.
FFXI imo about a 100x better ,more complete project was selling for 9.99 through Steam about 5 months ago.I have played DF,it is not a bargain of any kind at any price.IMO DF needs to put more effort into filling the game world,it left a bad impression when thousands tried out the 1$ deal,If DF would have got it right the first time,they would have a lot more people playing right now,because contrary to what you think i feel about the game,i did see some potential,i just saw a lack of effort.
IMO this is what DF SHOULD be selling for>>>>Free,get the people in and collect your profit from the monthly subs.However like i said,before they goto a free download,they had better fill the void world in of content,so they don't scare away the next crop of testers.It is no secret we all know that a $15 sub is more than the cost of running a server,they still make a profit doing so.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
I am basing my opinion of the game's community (or at least the vocal part of it, which I think will likely also be vocal in-game) on the people posting on this thread. While nothing has been said about the community per se, I can base my opinion of the community on what I have seen of it so far. This may not be a particularly informed opinion, but as it will cost me money to become more informed and the goal of being informed is attaining the answer to whether I want to pay that money, I am not particularly compelled to find out. So far, in this thread, the only people adamant of DF have also come across as overreacting and rude, to me. After all, all that was initially stated was that some guy didn't think the game was worth $15 and instead of simply saying something along the lines of "well, you're entitled to that opinion", most people in here act as if their lives are at stake and start insulting the guy, even. Hence, I get the impression all players in DF that I would come into contact with on the grounds of them being more vocal than others are overreactive and rude. If you have any interest in changing that, a good start would be to tolerate people with a different opinion and stop acting as if I am attacking DarkFall or its community (which, for the record, I am not; I may not have a good impression of the community, but I have no problem with the community existing, just so long as they do not expect me to be a part of it).
I do not know where you got the information that I never played DF, but it is incorrect. I am basing my opinion that the game itself is not for me and that it will not be worth the $15 to me on the trial I played. In my opinion, trials should be representative of what the game is like. The DF trial did not leave me with a good impression.
On a sidenote, you are not quoting the correct responses. When I said the comment in question was a perfectly suitable comment, I was talking about Squal'Zell's comment, which is much more informative than the ones you've quoted, is not particularly biased, and is certainly not intended as a trolling post.
Just so you know your words have not gone unnoticed, thank you for your kind wish for me having fun in the other MMOs I play, although I must confess I detect the slightest sarcasm in your remarks.
Oh and if someone in the community told you to lay down on train tracks when you hear a whistle up-wind you do that?
As for the post right above this(quoting sucks on this forum), same as I typed above applies. In case you don't understand, "Let's base our opinion of a community in said game off of a forum from a third party site unrelated to DF's official site, and of which only maybe 1% of the population posts on." Really it just makes you look like you are very lazy, or you don't use your noggin.
As for the comments related to you playing the trial, your initial post(one I quoted) sounds very much like you have never even tried the game. Not to mention now your telling a different story, originally it had to do with the community of 2 posters in one thread. Now your decision is somehow based off of a trial you played. Hence you got those replies, and it makes you sound very much like you are trolling.
Have a good day sir, and enjoy whatever other game you play.
