Have they projected a new release date? Yes, No, Yes, No, No It's Vapor Ware
Or have you failed to realise it? Like I said, I want it to be real. I really really do. I just don't believe they'll ever release it at this point.
EDIT:
If you don't like the term Vaporware how bout we start calling it 'promiseware' instead? Either way, it's missed every single projected and even it's 'assumed' dates.
This is the DF forum, I suggest you move your post over to the AoC forum that fits your facts better. Just add acouple of, "did they make that?" to be sure...
It's one thing to make fanboy rebuttals , but making completely idiotic statements like that one you just made simply because someone pissed on your Darkfall parade by telling it exactly how it is , doesn't cut it..
Whether or not a title is vaporware is a matter of trust between the community and the developers.
For all we know, AoC/WAR/TcoS etc. could be vaporware. What if something crazy happens and the games are never released? You never know!
People don't call them vaporware because they trust the developers, they trust their intended release dates, their beta tests, their public showings, devs journals, podcasts, newsletters etc.
A large portion of the MMORPG.com community no longer trusts the DF devs because of missed date after missed date, unfullfilled promise after promise.
But there are those that still trust Adventurine and trust that DF will be released and well be glorious.
Point is:
There is no "right" or "wrong" answer.
Only when/if the title is A) cancelled B)released will there ever be a right and wrong answer.
Honestly, don't get your hopes up for Darkfall. It might be released, it might not, but one thing is for sure, it will be a while before we know. Do you still have your hopes up for Duke Nukem Forever? Oh yeah, Duke Nukem Forever just released a new trailer last month. Duke Nukem Forever has been in development for 11 years and still refuses to give any set release date for their product and has revealed no real proof. Darkfall is following closely behind with 7 years in development.
Anyways, do I think Darkfall is a 'real' game? Yes it's most likely a real game. Do I think Darkfall is everything they say it is? Nope, I bet it's nothing special and will turn out to be a major let down if it's ever released.
Go read the history of Darkfall, the promised betas, and the broken promises.

Did it have a projected release date in 2006 ?
Did it make it?
Did it have a revised release date in Q1 2007?
Did it make that?
Have they projected a new release date in Q2 2007?
Did it make that?
Did they announce the 30,october 2007 as a releasedate ?
Did they make that ?
Did they announce the 25,march 2008 as a releasedate ?

They should have sticked to that. ..

wow thats alot mroe offcial dates than darkfall and peple still trust the devs xd but im sure it will release its a big company but there no player freedom in it its way tomuch zoning and instaces : / the combat system is how you see its just manula attack with dice roll like TR except TR has a TPS interface
AOc doesnt have target tho it more area of swing XD
i c 2002 and 2005 Wow thats really a reason to call it vapor
the summer one was internal notice there was no internal invovled with the other ones
2002,2003 was a legit reason to stop beta from starting so any more of your opinions that i can just proove wrong?
Don't worry he isn't really leaving. It would be nice if they actually released Darkfall. It's a little too early to call vaporware since they are still currently working on it, but i think it would be hard to believe they will actually fulfill all of their hype they have given it.
According to the prophet, Nostradamus, in his 942nd rhymed quatrain he clearly states Darkfall will be released very soon.
Most of his quatrains deal with global disasters, but his 942nd rhymed quatrain is a prediction of a different nature. Like all of his quatrains, which are direct and not subject to any form of misinterpretation.
In this clearly unambiguous quatrain, he states the following:
- "After a great wait, the masses will change a great nation and control a greatly anticipated new realm. Mars will be close, and the great one will tremble in terror at change. The weak will become powerful in their worlds because all the REAL hardcore players will leave the nublets in WoW and reach new levels of PWNAGE in DARKFALL! (btw - it will happen in or around 2008, for you nublets who can't read my freakin quatrains.)"
Nostradamus is THE MAN.

This is true. I have read Nostradamus' works and they herald the coming of Darkfall, but you made a small error in translating the date. He writes that it will happen on December 21, 2012, and that the message 'downloading patch...' will be the last message we all see when the world comes to an end.
Well, Darkfall, whether it releases or not, can teach the genre alittle something I think.
This game is pretty hyped, for what it is, and right now, it's nothing. I'd like everyone else to go through these forums and look at all these other games that may come out that don't have nearly as much hype as this one does. I mean that should stand for something.
The game sounds great, the trailer was great, and the idea is great. I *hope* it comes out.
It's been a long time since they've started the project, but I ask, How big is the development team? How much money has actually been spent on this game so far?
Small development teams can work much longer on a game and spend less money doing so. It doesn't mean results will be worse then if a game has a big development team. In fact, look at most of the games that do come out now with humongous dev teams and they never seem to be finished when they release.
I'm not saying that DF has a small team, but lets face it, the company isn't well known, and they base the combat after a game that has an extremely small dev team (roughly 2 people) .
So all in all I think it has potential to be a great game if it comes out. If it doesn't then at least they'll have something to show for it. I mean whether it becomes playable or not really won't hinder on if SOE will buy it if it fails.
We all know SOE is hoping the project will fail so they can once again buy someone elses idea in hopes to make a quick buck :O
I mean whether it becomes playable or not really won't hinder on if SOE will buy it if it fails. We all know SOE is hoping the project will fail so they can once again buy someone elses idea in hopes to make a quick buck :O
But the sad part is that SOE won't even touch this game. And if SOE doesn't even think you are worth adding to their collection , then the game must be in pretty bad shape.

ghoul did you just pull that out of your ass? maybe dakrfall devs declined there offer because darkfall fans dont want soe to touch it

Actually I don't think anyones offered to "buy" darkfall from them mainly because their self publishing.
Seriously if you look at what the game is going to offer and then you look at the videos, even if the graphics are a little dated the game itself looks better then most of the games out there now.
Whether the game is going to come out or not shouldn't affect anyones opinion on what the game is SUPPOSED to be.
It is 2005 now. This game will probably be released pretty soon.
Sorry, sometimes you have to quote stuff like this.
Keep on truckin' Darkfall! I anticipate the best game of 2018 with great interest.
