    AoC had a crappy launch, if Funcom wants they can still make in great.

    And WAR failed you, it didn't fail in general, a lot of people are enjoying it.

    You know it, the best way to realize your dreams is waking up and start moving, never lose hope and always keep up.

    Very true indeed. If Darkfall doesn't deliver then I am done with these games for good.

    mmorpg's flop faster then mcdonalds cheese burgers these days.

    I can't wait for DF to release something. 

    Then the DF cult can either be happy playing their game or mass suicide and finally shut up.

    Probably better for AoC, now they can bring the game in the right direction.

    I wouldn't say it was the last hope, but it will be a very long time before any other mmorpg I'm interested in gets released.

    Really?  You have, of course, spoken to every player in our genre on this, right?  I mean, I'm assuming you are speaking from a position of authority.  This couldn't possibly be some idea you came up with that doesn't have any real evidence to legitimize your statements.

    If Darkfall falls flat on it's face, I can only hope that the attention it's been given will pave the path for another dev. team.

    OMG fekking drama Queens reakting on a troll post. Forgetting something ??? StarGate Worlds!!!!1

  • TeimanTeiman Member Posts: 1,319

     darkfall is vaporware

    if df is the last hope, we are screwed

  • dreamsfadedreamsfade Member UncommonPosts: 339

    I wouldn't hold your breath on this one. It looks awesome and when I say that I bet only 30% of its users will be able to run the game how its meant to be ran (for visual effect) Gameplay; I don't know yet, thats something we have to determine when beta is released.

     

    edit; splleing, i splle so godo!

    Well considering DarkFall is a sandbox MMORPG and the other two mentioned are not I'd say the genre you must be refering to is the Sandbox genre. If that be the case then it' is easy to say AoC and War failed to deliver. If your into meaningful PvP then again they fail to deliver and I don't see many able to honestly disagree with that.

    Actually, I meant MMORPGs as a genre.  The OP was not specific in how AOC or WAR failed.  You are correct, neither AOC or WAR are sandboxes, but I don't think they ever portrayed themselves as such.

    As for meaningful PvP, that is a purely subjective term.

     Aion and Spellborn honestly interest me more than Darkfall. Sure darkfall is promising a lot of interesting things, but it reeks of being just another game promising more than it can realisticly deliver. I'm not getting my hopes up again just to be disappointed...again.

    I disagree.

    We have Earthrise, Fallen Earth, and Jumpgate Evolution still on the horizan. In fact, I would say Darkfall is just a glimmer of something to pass the time until these games come out.

    Tried: LotR, CoH, AoC, WAR, Jumpgate Classic
    Played: SWG, Guild Wars, WoW
    Playing: Eve Online, Counter-strike
    Loved: Star Wars Galaxies
    Waiting for: Earthrise, Guild Wars 2, anything sandbox.

    I'd rather take a chance on Darkfall than wait for another MMO that's going after WoW's chunk of the market.

    True.

    Isn't it just awsome, Darkfall might be the one that saves the year for us MMORPG lovers.

  • Z3R01Z3R01 Member UncommonPosts: 2,426

    Earthrise? Fallen Earth? Crusades? Mortal Online?

    Last hope? While DF might be a good game it certainly isnt the last hope of anything.

    Playing: Nothing

    Looking forward to: Nothing

    Think you are forgetting that other sandbox mmorpg that is very much like DF but better graphics.

    Full loot FFA PVP..

    Yeah the Teaser Vid looked neat but I'd need to actually see some game play footage and screen shots to compare. And I don't know there's just something about Mortal that never got me interested.  And honestly it seems like it's trying to be a straight rip off of DarkFall with minor differences lol. Maybe they thought DF was Vaporware so it wouldn't matter lol.

    war=failed to live up to the hype Its been out for less than 2 weeks and as  most who try it seem to be enjoying it id say your being premiture here.
    darkfall=the last beacon of light Why? Its not even in beta yet and there is a lot of justified doubt surrounding the validaty of this games promisis.
