    You're in control of Darkfall's funding?

    Hehe I hear ya though... would be nice to hear of a release date before the graphics engine becomes too dated or something.  I wouldn't be surprised if the game launches so far from now that it will have to go free to play... but we'll see.  Good luck to Darkfall, that's all I can say.

    he he, the DF community have waited so long. I dont know what i would do if i saw a beta date or something. It would be bigger then news of life on Mars......i wouldent believe it.

    Let's hope that they do release the game at some point. More choices are always good.

    You still havent learnt..................??

     

    Leave devs/producers to release their games when they are ready too, or do you want an unfinished game?

    Get an unfinished game and i bet you are the first to complain!

    I wish that the DF team gave better updates. Each Dev update is somthing like... oh the arrows shoot fast or junk we already know about. As I read updates on other mmo's, they give good updates of what stage they are in during the making of the game. Makes me wonder somtimes, why did they even tell us about DF if they dont want to give the fans any real info on the game. Im one that can wait on many things for a long time but DF is starting to make me have doubts that it will not be released before 2010. I also do think that the DF team is  full of BS at times, we are not that stupid.

     

    All I know is that they showed the game to us so many years ago, built a fan base and just keep stringing people along like dogs with nothing to show. If I was a DF dev I would sure the hell to do my best to keep the fanbase very happy and not tell them after six years..... the arrows shoot fast. If they dont want the game to fail if it gets released, they need to keep the fans happy. I already know for a fact that this game will go down like Shadowbane did. Real PvP is not as popular as it was back in the late 90's like classic UO. I hope that they do release DF this year although ive said that the past couple.

    I think you will find in fact they have 3 months until they make another announcement announcing they will be making an announcement very soon announcing the possible announcement for the start of beta. (After certain undisclosed criteria are met.)

    I'm thinking in 3 months they'll tell us they are ready for beta.  But decided against it.

    In 3 months they will say, Hmmmm... the human starter zone has many lush trees.

    It look like they have the funding for not only completion of the game but for self publishing as well. DF is not going anywhere.

    Money seems to be the least problem Aventurine have to worrie about. Its more about convincing the anti-community it really exist : )

    Yeah, its so hard to convince people to believe in Darkfall.  And Unicorns.  And Santa Claus.

    now, I wonder, I wonder, why would a game company prove unable to say anything about the state of a game that no-one has seen anything of, apart from a lot of ambition, promises, 24 screen shots and an old video or two.

     

    hmm... a real puzzler.

    What on earth could be behind the fact that there are barely any details on the game, no beta dates, no release objective... where the news section on the site was last updated in  September 03 2007; July 24, 2007 before that, and March 23, 2007

    /scratches head. I know!

    Call in the Blues Clues team! Maybe they can help!

    let me see now: Blues clue one: no new information. Blues clue two: no beta. Blues clue three:  same old  promotional stuff repeated ad nauseam.

    let's get in the thinking chair.

    any ideas?

    Hey - I would like this to exist as much as the next guy, but let's be honest. Remember the Chronicle?

  • HexxeityHexxeity Member Posts: 848

    Which would be the bigger disappointment for Darkfall fans -- for the game to be canceled before launch, or for the game to launch and be wildly unpopular, closing down withing the first year?

  • Honeymoon69Honeymoon69 Member Posts: 647

    just b/c they got money doesnt mean they can make a great mmo.  Look at StarTrek which is back to vaporware and AoC is coming out with half of stuff missing.

    They simply don't care and why should they at this point? The info has been steady as well as the updates, there is plenty of screenshots I think the only thing they lack at this point is more in-game movies which they will add. The only good in-game movie they released was a year ago and if you download it and watch it in high resoultion you will realize that the game looks great. All the people blabbing about eq like graphix should really STFU or at least download the 1 year old vid and watch it in high resolution; there's nothing wrong with them in fact they look better then Some of the other upcoming games with the exception of Age of Conan. In fact once you do this you will realize that the graphix will be scalable to the player, although to run it in that kind of detail with the shadows and all that junk I would bet that you will need a decent video card.

    Or better yet compare both the Aerdin cat vid and the 1 minute vid that was taken a year ago; the Aerdin cat vid is in low quality grahix while the 1 minute vid graphically looks like a totaly different game.

    People can say whatever they want at this point, they're either lazy to look up all the the info or they come to this forum to start a flame thread. But it really doesnt matter, because for better or worse the game will go to beta either way and release; it will either be great or it will suck.

    AoC half stuff missing? at least get some knowledge of what your talking about.

  • The Trend in new MMOs has been crap.  I'm tired of garbage games with good graphics.  Maybe when Darkfall comes out only a few people will play it.  But if theres enough for one healthy server I can assure you I'll be on it (provided that Darkfall has what it claims).  Everquest was not a huge hit from the start, it took a while for it to take off, but was revolutionary to the MMO market.  If people playing other games catch word of Darkfalls quality, it may take time, but perhaps Darkfall will grow into a MMO behemoth.  Its not like a game is immidieatly at its peak and its all down hill from there, or at least a good one.  WoW is still climbing past the 9 million mark and its 3 years old now.

    If you have found its description as interesting as I have, buy the game.  If its small liike EVE, then play it, WoW may have hundreds of servers, but you cant play on all of them at once >_<.  Only erally need 10000 people to populate one.  If it doesnt lose its spark, keep playing.  If the game gets better with age instead of over inflating and crapping out, it will grow on its own.

    there is no other game being made that is even remotly like Darkfall, I just hope they don't do the same mistake as Vanguard, Dark & Light and Shadowbane and release a half finished game.

    And I tell you what, all of us waiting for Darkfall will be here ready to buy it when it comes out, so stop blowing into the wind.

  • xray00xray00 Member Posts: 202

    I cannot believe you people actually still believe this game is coming out.  What does it take for you to get a clue? 

    I'd love to be proven wrong but, unfortunately, I won't be.   This game doesn't even qualify as vaporware - more like neverwasware.

    This is the correct position to take.   And here here  to the point about people being too lazy to look up the info.  I saw some guy referring to Darkfall as if we have only gotten 3 updates total in 2007.  Who the hell is this guy and where does he come from?  Go be a member of the forums and read the updates.  Read the posts, do the research, or stop spouting nonsense.
