Yeah, 5 years from now all anyone is going listen to Tasos say is "Would you like fries with that?"
nice assuming there
Its not so much an assumption as it a wish that the guy reaps what he has sown. Karma isnt known for its kindness.
your still assuming taso is lieing which isnt very smart at this point ><
lol...
You Fanbois get excited over the most trivial of things. A write up by some no name person and three lousy photos (two of which are a picture of a dirty door) and you act like Steve Martin from his movie "The Jerk" when the new phonebooks arrive. (Obscure analogy, but if you've seen the movie ya know what I'm talking about).
This new information means absolutely nothing unless it come from a ligitimate source and this just ain't it. But hey, keep the blind faith if it makes you feel better
Would you mind telling the lot of us how you know that? If it's not what will you say? Maybe you know something more than the rest of us?
Till next time...
Until I see some known or offical press from one of the bigger gaming networks., I will continue to believe it is one of Tasos alter egos.
of course alot of us expected thsi from you guys anyways so. : ) if you went would your eally want people calling you a lair?
on thing i dont get is why all these DF naysayers are SO confident that DF is a scam and when (not if) it releases, it will be a 100% failure? Lets turn the table a bit, you provide SOLID evidence that once DF comes out that is is a scam and will fail...
I have to say it, FFS if you hate DF, why the F*** do you hang around here?
ok well they cant take pics from inside the studio? But they didnt have to sign an nda.
Knowing that i was expecting a review of lots of new info.
In the end, its a rehash of the asp apparent visit, with only 1 thing new - the suggestion that dungeons are instanced.
Aventurine are experts at dangling the carrot hehe. Will be interesting to see these other visits posted (i hope).
Knights who say Ni website!
that isnt new its inthe faq and actuly there was new info there. its nt instanced really its just has a slight loading going into the places. its in the faq actully.
You know why it seems lke we know most of the stuff ebign said its because teh df devs have given us alot of info..
there some info we arent going to get.. until we play

Wel, EU ppl get to play
Its unclear but felt to me as if there would be no download available for rest of the world, odd i know saying that, but just the way the visit review read.
Im still laughing at the pictures of the doors now

Strange, All the guys in the pics look related and wouldn't yellowbeard show some sort of actual technology if he wanted to prove the authenticity of the project? A computer, a screen, a programmer programming, something, anything? Why only 3 pics? and of nothing basically. I also wonder why the aventurine graphics in the 3rd pic are actually composed of 2 stickers, maybe there's a good reason, but based on the fact there are such useless pictures, this makes it look even more fake. Could you be paying 20 employees and have a sign that looks like that representing your company? If you're legit? Dunno, but looks like they rented some conference room and put up their sign and took pics. The sign with the aventurine sticker is shiny, for some places they write on a a board that a room is going to be occupied and/or by whom in marker, then wipe it off when they're done, if you notice there's marker over the black keypad which would happen if you were keying in a number and happened to keep the marker used on the board in your hand. Hey, If they really want to prove their veracity, after 7 years I hear, gonna take a bit more. Maybe its just a scam. In Greece the government subsudizes mmo development and if you say you're making one you can guarantee yourself a yearly income for a half a decade or more, so its a possibility.

I suspect he played the 1996 version, same as asp....

/agree
This is a scam of course.

Just wait a few more days...some 'official' press-releases/interviews are scheduled for August, beginning with the Gameworld online interview
Oh boy. Another interview. I can hardly wait to hear all about how great this game is some more and how it will revolutionize PC gaming, etc etc.
This is ridiculous. You people are eating this stuff up like a wolf laying a trail of candy to children.
I can't wait until Adventurine asks for credit card information and money online before the people even play the game for one minute. Then we'll see how many fans here go from their story now of how they'd never pay ahead and how Adventurine would "never" do that to all the posts later of getting ripped off.
Dig out the old Dark and Light and Mourning threads. It's all coming to a Darkfall thread near you!
I thought you liked D & L
"Okay, first off let me tell you that I agree that EQ2 is nothing but crap.
I havent played WOW yet but I have been playing the beta of Dark and Light for about 3 months now. I can't release much info on the game as it is still in beta, but here's just a clue:
EQ2 even after its release doesn't even come close to the sheer gaming quality of the beta of Dark and Light. The game is running very smooth already and only after big changes do some things get a little buggy or choppy. Then they fix it like within the hour.
The fighting and character animations in Dark and Light are beyond belief. Smooth, fun to watch and varying attacks are a sore for tired same ol mmo eyes. What I mean is if you do a certain type of attack one time, the next ten times you do the same attack, the animations can change every single time on the same exact attack!
The world is so huge and beautiful and fun to explore it adds a whole new element never before seen in any mmo before. Trust me, you will actually want to go explore and discover this world. And doing so by dragon is unbelievable.
Dark and Light isn't another treadmill mmo. The devs actually care about putting out not only the biggest mmo ever, but also want to put out the best quality mmo ever. And it is very close to completion. Expect the best fanstasy mmo ever made when Dark and Light hits the stores. You won't be disappointed. Trust me it puts every other mmo to shame, and is going to set the new standard that all other future mmos will be measured by. This is no hype, this game is going to redifine the definition of an mmo. Prepare for the biggest addiction of your life should you buy it. If you loved any of the following games [Ultima Online, Everquest 1, Asherons Call 1, Meridian 59, or Dark Age of Camelot] - I swear you will love DnL with a passion you've been waiting to feel again for an mmo."

that will explain why he is so jaded.
I dont think any fans on here have said anything like that either...
I will go on a branch, once again...And say that Darkfall's looking less like a game, and more like a scam.
I hope it's not true, but these threads sure are fun to listen to others' points, in.
I feel Radlin's pain too, poor kid already got shafted, and Adventurine's tactics are throwing red flags for him. I wish everyone would learn to take a more third-person perspective on this and stop attacking each other so blatantly. Radlin and people like him, are here trying to help and critize those they can't convince (stupid-too, the latter, that is), and everyone who's trying to defend the game's doing so, mostly ignorantly. No offense, but there isn't much visual evidence on the game other than a shitload of "scenic" screenshots.
It's not that either of you are wrong, or right...One side will be...Unless the game's crap, then we all lose. But really, try to understand everyone's position before going on the rabid-rampage. Just a note too, to Radlin, I never put in pre-orders for games, I let others find out how good, or crappy a game is...So I won't be scammed if that's what's going to happen. Praytell it isn't.

It's honestly like everyone logs onto WoW, and games like WoW, just to masturbate. Everyone plays by themselves, and when they don't, they get what they want and get off.

Why would Darkfall be a scam?
With offices filled with 20+ developers, with people seeing and playing the game, with all the released media, and with the publishing deal - how could anyone possibly call it a scam?
You will not get scammed because you don't have to pay to beta or test the game out. I think it is touching that you guys really worry for DF's investors but really...right now I would worry more about the AoC investors.

Really good read. I liked it.
Best part is from Yellowbeard on the official forum saying that Tasos warned him about posting his visit. Tasos said there will be alot of freaks out there screaming at his house!
And someone thought that the pictures neede more computers to lok real. Thats the lamest thing i have ever heard. As if putting a few computers in a pic would make it more beliveble??? Then it would be a scam.
They dont have computers in the pictures because they dont need it. Not thier problem.
I hope not...Could you show a link where they say it'll all be free? I was under the assumption that you had to pay the monthly fees to be a part of the beta.

How come when they show pictures of devs at work all the trolls call them fake, now the trolls complain that their are no photos? Guess there is no winning.
Besides that some ok info, we should find out what this game is soon. I would not invest or pre order this game till more was shown, but i also think jumping on all these conspiracy theories i insane.

Muffins, stick to the Darkfall forums.
If you can read dates, you will realize that this was from four years ago. A LOT of other people thought that DnL was actually going to be huge, instead they were sorely mistaken. People were so excited by all that DnL claimed, but instead they were given an incompleted game and scams by the developer. (a possibility of Darkfall...).
You can't go off something that was written four years ago and was before DnL was even released, even you should know that. No one knew what was coming, they just went off what the developers said (a lot like Darkfall...).
P.S. You're on our turf now, and we shall get revenge for your bashing against MMORPG.com

This game does have a decent potencial to turn out like DnL.
Maybe the delayed American Publishing is a good thing. Get to judge the game from the Euros first.

I post where I like, mate.
"No one knew what was coming, they just went off what the developers said (a lot like Darkfall...)."
Which is what most games are like. The average player doesn't get their hands on a game until release and they have to rely upon "what the developers say" about the game, or those few people that are allowed to preview the game without an NDA (and even then they are often shown the best part of the game - like tortage in AoC).
As for me bashing against mmorpg.com ... I have never done so. I've bashed the types of people who infect these forums on many occasions, but I've never attacked the site itself.
