So, this is Darkfall?
No offense, but I never heard of ya. I've been off the circuit since I gave up on Pirates of the Burning Sea. Thanks to that AoC flame, I was curious to learn more. I'll be keeping my eye on you. AoC claims screenshots sell boxes; so too do word of mouth. POBS was a beautiful facade; but look at how it's player base disintigraged. Everquest, on the other hand, sold almost NO boxes based on screenshots. I personally looked at the EQ box in the store in March 1999 and quickly put it down. But three months later, word of mouth had spread of its greatness; so I gave it a try and got quickly hooked for years.
Darkfall can enjoy the same success (500k subscribers, and millions of boxes sold). I hope you stick to your guns and make a real gameworld which challenges us; not just another facade. Speaking of screenshots, look at WoW. The graphics in that gameworld are a joke, but is it not kicking the A$$ out of every other game? Well, I hate WoW, but that's not my point.
Screenshots may sell boxes out of the starting gate; but gameplay will sell far more boxes in the long run.
Luckily, i don't need you to like me to enjoy video games. -nariusseldon.
In F2P I think it's more a case of the game's trying to play the player's. -laserit

The more they fight it the more people know about the game : ) most people dont believe naysayers unless they can provide proof
Well flamers come on here and say things such as ' wow 7 years development time' , etc etc.
But as someone in another thread said, they are simply shouting into the wind.
Screenshots, videos, respectable personnel, dev journals, are more than enough proof for me.
I guess those AOC people are annoyed that their game has invisible walls, levels, classes, and everything else that makes a game Linear

Ya, you are right. Screenshots do sell games. I bought NWN2 because of the footage and screenshots. Turned out to be the biggest waste of my money gaming wise in a long time. Then, VanguardSoH. I held out hope, but after Vanguard, I've learned my lesson. What you see in beta 3 months out is what you will get at release.
I beiieve with all my heart that MMO and RPG go together like Game Play and Graphics. They both look like a marriage made in heaven, but in actuality, both couples are just one night stands. Neither play well together.
Fear not fanbois, we are not trolls, let's take off your tin foil hat and learn what VAPORWARE is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware
"Vaporware is a term used to describe a software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge after having well exceeded the period of development time that was initially claimed or would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product."
NWN2 was a big let-down, I play NWN and it never gets old

NWN1 is just horrible.
NWN1 is just horrible.
I value gameplay moreover than graphics, your opinion may vary.

This is why we see so many AoC fans trolling the Darkfall forums here - they fear that their chosen game may have it's success damaged or dented by Dakfall.
