Are you confident enough about Darkfall to preorder the game, when the time comes? Assume there actually is a beta and that you have not participated in it.
I hate the word Discuss. It's so commanding, how about you discuss it?
Sounds like someone had tramatic experiences in their humanities classes in high school when the teacher asked them to write essays expressing themself....
Fear not fanbois, we are not trolls, let's take off your tin foil hat and learn what VAPORWARE is:
"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."
The lead Darkfall dev has already stated in a dev journal (2nd page, 3rd paragraph) that Darkfall will have no preorders of any kind so that kinda renders this whole thread pointless. He stated that they are doing this because he feels that everyone should be able to try the game before anyone has to pony up one red cent for it.

Discuss.
I will generally pre-order any game i like the look of , why because I can. This game falls into that category money is not an issue.
And the point of the post ?

What a lame thread it would be nice Kien if you could contribute a little more this thread adds zero value, it has been stated by Tasos that they will not be going down the pre-order route.

I was curious if people were itching to preorder. I do not plan to do so.

"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."
I think we've heard this five or six times before from these very same developers. I'll believe it when I see it.
They've never mentioned a release date before.
Mind you, it's really refreshing to see a company that is not begging/bribing it's followers (with special mounts) to pre-order a product that no-one has tried yet (in it's finished form).
Every one of us has bought games that have turned out to be a waste of money. That you get to try Darkfall before you buy gives Aventurine brownie points. If they started offering special mounts with pre-orders I would be really worried about the quality of the gameplay.

Maybe not release date, but I know for a fact they've mentioned beta on many occasions and we all know how each and every one of those beta events turned out. Like I said, I'll believe it when I see it.

Since 2005 they've only mentioned a beta date just once ... and that was just an internal, unofficial, hoped-for date for beta (summer 2007).

You sir, are full of crap. They have been dangling beta is coming "soon" in many of their dev journals and forum posts for years. Biggest disappointment of all was their "Guild Beta" sign up event that proved to be just more hype for this game that turned out to be nothing.

There is a big difference between an actual beta date, and mere statements of Soon™

There is a big difference between an actual release date and more statements of internal discussions about a soon to be released announcement of a release date sometime in 2008. I am so glad they were so specific in their launch date in the last dev journal. Non the less, you will be here on January 1st saying Shannia, all they said in 2008 was they was an internal release date but things change. There is no holding Aventurine accountable for anything to you. They can push back this game until 2015 and you'd still be a staunch defender of their deception and lies.

I'll believe it when I see it. I've mentioned it before so I'll say it again. I heard about this game when my son was going into 5th grade. He graduates high school on Saturday. Like I said, I'll believe when I see it. No amount of the devs say 2008, it is official and even mmorpg.com says 2008. The only thing that matters is Aventurine launching the game. If they do, great. Until they do, I won't believe it because we've heard it all before.

Notice how they didn't give an actual month for the launch??
Notice how hey didn't give an actual month for Beta to begin??
If you are actually launching a game in 6 months and have a full featured MMORPG (as they say) then you would at least know exactly when you were having a Beta considering they've also said they could hold a Beta tomorrow if they wanted to..

Don't forget the dev log, everything is pending an official announcement. All the fanbois can always fall back on us and say, well, no official announcement came so the dev in the dev journal was still right. No matter what, we are wrong.

Nice baits: both the thread's tittle and the question... why don't you make another one, something like:
Darkfall Begins!
How would you feel if DF team would announce starting date this September?
Discuss ..
Bleh
there will be no pre orders
Every game has preorders....
Every game has preorders....
Only in your warped mind.
I will never preorder any game.So no DF preorder for me.
I hate the word Discuss. It's so commanding, how about you discuss it?
