    This is interesting, hopefully Tasos or Aventurine will officially respond to this, until then it might mean something or it might not.
    He’s the VP, but he’s not speaking for Aventurine, he’s speaking only for GNi, so he might not know anymore then what they last told his company, things might be subject to change or he might not of been informed yet by Aventurine about any definite launch date yet.
    In the first email response he used the words “plans are being made” and “in the next 60 days” that does not sound that definite to me, its quite vague and indicates to me that he does not have a specific date yet only a possibility.
    In the second email he says “we will have a hosting centre up and running by Q1”, but he’s not explicitly stating Darkfall will definitely be using that hosting centre by Q1, I think he’s just saying it will be available by Q1.
    Hopefully this does mean Darkfall is launching by the end of the year or in January but until Aventurine officially set a specific date we cant be sure.



    This is correct. GNi plans to open the servers within 60 days based on the date Aventurine last gave them. The dates may change, but this confirms that Aventurine told GNi at some point the game would be ready by Dec-Jan. which means they actually do beleive the game is close to release. I doubt Aventurine would lie to GNi, that is why this is news to me. Tasos saying Dec. 2008 to fans in News section is one thing, but GNi confirming that Aventurine told them the same thing means it is more concrete.

    Also, the Q1 2009 date for East coast servers is for GNi. You are right, that does not mean Darkfall will use them then, but it would make sense for Aventurine to have servers on the East coast as well as West. East coast servers would be better for East coast players and also for Euro players that want to play on USA servers(since East coast is 3,000 miles cloaser to Europe).

    Khameleon I was not saying or implying Aventurine lied to anybody (this time), please don’t start putting words in my mouth.

    Remember Aventurine must of told AVE that they are aiming for a 2008 also, because AVE repeated it in their press release, it does not necessarily mean it will happen either.

    I appreciate you took the time to find this information out but it could simply be that weeks ago when Aventurine and GNi agreed to work together, Aventurine told GNi they where aiming for a 2008 launch and have said nothing more to them since.

    And this VP is just going on what his company was last told weeks ago, or on the other hand it could very well be that GNi are indeed privy to information that has not been released to the community yet, But I’m going to remain cautious until this is confirmed by Aventurine.

    What are you talking about? I said "This is correct" in response to your post, meaning I agreed with what you said. Nothing is 100% about these dates. I guess you are just another person wanting to argue for no reason even when a person is agreeing with you

    I asked GNi the questions to see if they knew anything new about release. The response I got confirmed that GNi believes the game is still set for release within 60 days. If they still believe the game is coming out in the USA within 60 days, then Aventurine has not delayed it yet as far as GNi knows and we have to go with what Tasos said and what GNi said up to now.

    GAME TIL YOU DIE!!!!

    I apologise If you got the impression I was arguing, I was just talking about the information you had found, I agree in retrospect my post is a bit confrontational.

    I also sent emails to GNi and AVE with similar questions but I never got reply’s , perhaps you could work your magic and try AVE next?

    I swear all you DF followers are the same, its one of the biggest reasons why I won't play this game. Your attitudes are horrible.  How was anything I said Trolling?  Last time I check I lived in America and I have freedom of speech and expression.

     

    yeeeeees and your point being?

     

    have fun with a game of your choice then, now since you are not going to play DF nobody here gives a flying about what you say so..

    Im sorry but the only way I buy games online is through Steam or Direct to drive. Sorry but Im not giving my credit card number to some small ass company who has no good reputation that lives in Greece.  If I were you I wouldn't either, you cant be to careful these days.

     

    Heh idk about your area , but where i am you can get  CC(debt) cards at just about any big corner store, and that's all i use for online transactions . I will do what ever it takes to get the game when it finally launches thats how much my self  and many others want a game of this type , for me it dont matter if its DF or Mo or something new that pops up in the future  .

     

     

     

    Well have fun with that and doing that for paying the sub each month.    Damn you guys must be really desperate to play this game.... Yeah no doubt there is a lot of crap games out there, Ive filtered my way threw them and Im not even on planing on trying DF. I already know I won't like it,  Ill just stick with my current game.

     

    Then why the hell are you here if you are not going to play Darkfall? Just to shoot it down because you don't like it?

    If it does not concern you don't bother, you'll only look like a fool. { Mod Edit }

     

    And to all those doubting OP, email GNi yourself instead of bashing his attempt to reveal some information about Darkfall.

    Man most of the people in Darkfall board amazes me, like a bunch of hatebreeders sitting around campfires talking about how much they hate them blacks.

    If its anything the people that plan on playing DF are the haters.. Did you even read my other posts?   I was just saying if the game launches in 60 days where are people going to get it? There is no NA publisher so it wont be in stores and If they decided to sell it online, I was just saying watch out, cuz I  wouldn't just give a credit card number out to some random people from Greece that don't have reputation of being a trustworth company. 

    Then here you saying Im a fool,  bigot, racist, lol wtf is up with that.  All I did was state facts and opinons, and I get called names.  Real mature lol  like I said before one of the main reasons why I will not play this game. The community is horrible.  

  • imbantimbant Member Posts: 1,291

    cuki it is my opinion you have serious trust issues and also obviously have researched the company much.

    It is also my opinion that you talk before you really think because there are what, like 20 or so, consistent pro-DF posters on the board and you are judging the whole DF community by that.  People who are so easily influenced by others don't usually do too well for themselves.

    My opinion of course since you are going on about opinions Mr. opinionated opinion giver.

    Until then i use the right given to me by the internet gods and "call bullshit".
    Almost forgot the emoticons and to WRITE some words in capital letters to emphasize them for additional e-peen. /ScepticFace doesn't work otherwise.
    Oh yeah, and the obligatory "Get your face out of your ass and smell the fresh air of reality lol".


    There you go, Screenshot of the emails. I edited my name and email out of it(hope I didn't miss anywhere).

    Like I said, I always question the Devs on the official forums for this game and I am currently banned because of the longtime followers and other idiots calling me a troll just because I ask valid questions about release date, beta, etc.

    Well, this is enough for me to now say the game is very close to release. GNI would not lie, it does not benefit them to lie in any way.



     

    they look some what legit tho because of the time diffrences in the emails BUT (i cant say because it still could be photoshop guess we will  find out sooner or later

    I’m not trying to trash DF, so save your troll comments for someone who deserves it, but I’m highly skeptical of this one for a number of reasons:

    1) GNi has a PR staff, so I doubt the VP of Sales would field this question.

    2) There has been nothing in terms of advertising and promotion. While Web sites like MMORPG.com certainly pander to the MMO faithful, we are still a minority in terms of end-users. Word-of-mouth just doesn’t cut it anymore, unfortunately.

    3) Businesses, particularly those that deal with multi-million dollar contracts, typically don’t release information regarding their clients.

    Great if true, but I’m certainly not going to hold my breath on this one.

    Even if these emails are real, which I think they probably are, all it proves is that they are PLANNING to release the game. it still could get delayed, its not a factual release date. either way the game is definately not coming out in 2008.

    and even if it does come out in q1 2009. I bet it will be half done, sorry to be a pesimist. but the last video while impressive, still looks like early alpha and this is a indie company.

    Way too little released info to believe a release anytime soon.  What are races like, what kind of spells are there?

  • roalandroaland Member UncommonPosts: 185

    I'll believe this game is coming out when i see it in a box at the store lol.

    I thought that even europe it won't be sold in retail stores, and that they don't want to force anyone to have to buy the game before they try it.  Maybe I'm just confused so many rumors about darkfall it can be hard to tell truth from fiction.

    Nope you are actually thinking correctly and I should have been more clear.  There definitely wont be boxes in the US.  There is  a chance you may see them in EU in certain areas though nothing is confirmed.  They certainly have the capability to do so with their EU publisher Audio Visual so we'll just have to wait and see.

    I e-mailed Aventurine for them to confrim the information I got from GNi, but no reply so far. GNi replied to me within a couple hours each time(2nd time less than 1 hour), Aventurine lets see....... I doubt I will get a reply from them, but maybe I will be surprised.
