Would be good if you researched more and posted again.
The biggest flaw i saw was "100 classes"
Darkfall doesn't have classes. You are free to be whatever you desire.
Shame on you fanboi.
can people stop posting about Darkfall already? I mean c'mon! over 7years have gone now. Release have been promised about every year. how can you still believe in this game? I lost faith a long time ago.
The speed of the mole and the power of steel is my weapon
Darkfall will also clean your house, cook your supper, wash your clothes and have sex with you, all while you play! And if you qualify, Darkfall will fill in at your place of work, so you can continue to earn a living while playing.
No need to leave your house. Darkfall will take care of all your needs.
Good amount of research. Ought to be stickied for posterity...with occasional updates on fulfillment or lack thereof.
Good job, Karrair, btw. I love documentated posts like this. It holds the Devs accountable for their claims.
To bad it'll never see the light of day.
one of my favorite features mentioned is the secret base on an island. that sounds pretty cool.
seems to me it was meant 'tongue in cheek'
you gotta admit reading all that and thinking to yourself, is that actualy achievable? lets be honest if it was it would already be here.
LOL, look at his avatar. He is no fanboi. And as for Karrair's pointing out about Darkfall's claims of classes - follow the link he provided and you will be able to read this.
You will never have to re-roll your character again. With Darkfall?s flexible character development system, your character simply adapts to the choices you make for him. We give you hundreds of skills to learn and master, and around a hundred Prestige classes to further specialize in.
For those of you who don't know the OP I'll fill you in. He's being sarcastic. He's one of the biggest posters against DF. DF fans, like Aragon, call him a troll.
Anyone who has followed any MMO development knows that the "FAQ", is usually a wish list where half the crap gets cut from on release. This even went for the "good" MMOs that were released.
In this case, it is not so much a wish list, as a complete pile of nonsense to feed to investors and idiot fanbois. This game will go down in history as the biggest piece of vaporware ever "marketed".
And trust me, I followed it's development closely......for the first few years. This game is BS. I just find it amazing that people are so die-hard about something that will so obviously never see the light of day. A psych analysis should be done on its fanbois for research into personalities of people who are in bizarre cults. The DF fanbois devotion with nothing to base it on borders on manic.
However I stand by my post. DF fanbois, tell us how off we are. I love those posts......
Ha! Catizone, you just stole Karrair's post.
That's pretty low. Next time coem up with your own work or tell people that he is the one that wrote it.

Ignore this. Found the thread.
There is a conversation about this elsewhere? Can I have the link?
Read through the posts on the thread. Karrair puts a lot of information there.

lol!
Ya but it's broken up there so I thought it deserved it's own thread.
......The fact that we had to remind you to put his name up there when you literally copy and pasted his words to this thread is pretty sad.
Well, at least you edited it...
