    If they had of pushed this game into beta testing in a state comparable to how Wish, DE, Mourning and many other games did it would have been a bad move. Insted they kept working on the software and set the whole thing back a couple of years. They did not thow up a lame duck and hope it wold fly like other developers have recently. We will see a few hundred testers in there anyday now and then we will see if the extra time truely fixed the technology limitations that killed these other recent games.

    As for Mourning . . give your head a shake man. That was the most pathetic situation ever to happen in this genre. Those were bad doods for not being upfront with us.

    Graphics sell games.. gameplay keeps them there. If you don't have the first , you won't have anyone caring about the second.


    Actually the graphics look awsome...

    And if you actually believe graphics are #1 over gameplay, then you are completely lost my friend.. try to find yourself.

    People still play EQ1, UO, AC1, WWIIOnline, Daoc, people still play these games, and it is not for the graphics, it's for the community.

    You think people picked up the UO box and said the graphics looked awsome, and that is the reason they bought it?

    As long as you have very good gameplay + that awsome community, Graphics is 3rd or 4th.. people who actually believe graphics are 1st truely do not belong in mmo's, I dont play mmo's to fead my grafix needs, I play my 360 for that.


    Um, Darkfall community is slowly turning into a WoW one. New people joining posting their ideas. The people who have been their since 2002 are turning into crusaders and completely shutting out the new ones ideas. A whole bunch of flaming between the newbies and oldies, the realistic Nazi's and the "fun defenders" (I.E. Realistic want no instantaneous travel, The fun defenders want there to be a choice between instantaneous and travel.) The Graphic Whores vs the Gameplay Whores. etc etc etc.

    as long as we can kill the whiners ingame, all is well.  all these people introducing their "ideas" are a lost cause, lol final stages of production and theyre offering ideas.  and the only newbies that get shutdown are the ones that dont bother reading the faq on the mainsite, and don tknow anything about the game.

    It doesn't matter if it's the final stages. Ideas now, can be implemented into patches later. And if enough people show support of the idea the devs might give in.

    I dont know where you got your information but razorwax is and was well funded by Aventurine SA, razorwax has complete control of the project as well.

    These games take alot of time to make, darkfall has a huge scope, the developers are repeateadly stated they wont release until the game is ready. Shadowbane was rushed out by UbiSoft and it turned out to be very disapointing and unstable, Dark and Light made people pay for a beta version that was nearly unplayable from what i have heard.

    Darkfall has had an active community behind it for four years and it has been growing, the fact is most people puting darkfall in question never read all the information available about the game (which is alot), they know much less than the community following it, some dont even know the main features, other ignorant people dont understand what open pvp means and compare it to WoW or DaoC.

    The engine is very good in graphical terms considering it has to handle hundreds of people on screen fighting in fast paced FPS like system. And its bound to be improved by release.

    There is a leaked alpha video and numerous screenshots that show the development of the their own engine.

    It aint going to happen, They have already updated graphics once, and they wont do it again because of a bunch of people like you.l

    The game is made to be as smooth as possible, get your eye candy somewhere else.

    What the hell are you talking about..

    "Crusaders" as you put them are shutting down "Old WoW" players ideas because their ideas usually suck and involve making this game into another WoW, with pvp.

    The community in WoW does not compare to the DF community, the community in WoW is disguisting..

    This here is a prime example of a "gameplay whore". I've seen posts like this on the forums of Darkfall also although much more rude, which is why i'm coming to a conclusion of the boards turning into a "WoW community". Even though I did not say a word about graphics he automatically assumes it. And proceeds to insult.

    I am hoping this game comes out, and it seems to me that it isn't going to turn up as vaporware. But, every game has a chance to vanish. There were people that said WoW was going to die before release, too, and they were wrong.

    Right now, the only thing we should be doing is making sure this game breaks the mold, possibly wiping WoW off the market, and being the best game it can be. If it doesn't get released, then that is too bad. There are other games out there that wont crash.

    unfortunate how the OP's point is still valid after 3 years.
