AoC had a lot of closed beta testers. We have no idea how many Aventurine has. I know two testers and have seen just a couple of (really minor) leaks (which makes me think their numbers are fairly small) but the important thing is ... WHO CARES?
lol
The only people who care are the fanbois and the trolls. What's the point of speculating? The game isn't worth all the attention the fanbois and vapor-tards are giving it until after the game releases.

I don't quite understand how you're able to remove yourself from the argument saying you're a third-party, after saying, "Obviously they're not afraid of that, as the closed beta proves" to me claiming the following, "It scares me if Adventurine's this afraid of having their game leave the studio...It really scares me."
Frankly, I'll put it very simply. I've explained why things seem shady on Aventurine's end. And you'vePproven once again that you're unable to garnish any proof of a beta. You've argued over nothing, proving nothing { Mod Edit }.

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.

I would love to see the above
And why do I care? Likely because I've some free time between sleeping, and getting home from work. Oh, and the fact that the idea of this game is unique, and I've never played anything like it before.
Sorry, I'm excited, and Aventurine's not helping things by attempting to sell some swamp-land property.

LMAO!
You see, you are the perfect example of why I lurk here and why this forum is so much fun!
To any other gamer Darkfall's closed beta is just like any other. ie - Ignore until free trial or release.
Here, people (both fanbois and trolls) actually bother to argue over whether or not the closed beta is fake.
WHO CARES?!?
To an average gamer, a game is either Released or Not Released with no inbetween. Darkfall is obviously in the "Not Released" catagory here, so it doesn't deserve the huge ammounts of time that the fanbois and troll-tards have devoted to it in debating every minor or inconcequential thing.
And yet they do.
Quite sad really.

The average gamer also buys AoC without waiting for reviews, and ends up getting what he/she paid for. They also doesn't usually play this form of an MMO. What I'm saying is that the uniqueness of this game makes it worth spending time on. I see more potential in Darkfall's "closed-beta" than in any other MMO currently out there and I would love to be in it.
While Released, or Not Released is the criteria that I usually go by, Darkfall's an outlier for me.
And yes, I'm actually glad you enjoy beginning arguments, then refusing to back your claims. It does make for some enjoyable times. Care to change subjects again?
EDIT* Are you going to offer proof of the beta yet?

There are SO many erronious assumptions in that statement.
1 - Why would I - as an average gamer - have access to inside resources that can prove, or disprove, a closed beta?
2 - Why would I - as an average gamer - care? Every mmo game out there goes though a closed beta. My Care-o-meter doesn't even twitch until the game releases. As an average gamer, i just take the develoepr claims at face value and pretty much just ignore the game until it comes out.
3 - Why would I - as an average gamer - need to prove that Darkfall is having closed beta? If the developers claim that they are having one, then fine. I'll try to care about the development history of the game after it releases and I'm playing it.
The real question is ... why do you care enough to claim that the beta is fake?
About AoC. It sold well because all the stupid fanbois bought into the hype and pre-ordered. Then us average gamers got sucked in because all the reviews were "OMGZ!!! TH1S G$M£ 1S T£H %H!T!!!!! - 11/10!"
lol

You tend to ignore your own previous posts, don't you? Must you make me pull up this many references?
The following are answers to your questions, in the same format
1 - In a previous post you said "I know two testers and have seen just a couple of (really minor) leaks (which makes me think their numbers are fairly small)" So really, you've enough information to make an assumption. What I've been asking for is your proof, so that I can use it for myself.
2 - Are you saying this to offer reason as to why you offer no proof of your claims? Is it that you feel since you're an "average gamer" you don't need to argue your statements, since they don't matter in the first place? This entire argument began because you said the closed-beta was proof in itself that Aventurine doesn't need to prove anything. Upon being asked for your reasons and proof, you produced nothing except revolving logic.
3 - If you really feel this way, why enter the discussion on a forum like this, especially if you're not prepared to offer information to back your claims. You "did" start this argument, yet now you refuse to finish it.
I've already answered why I'm here twice, apparently you can't read.
And yeah, I'm sorry that you bought into the hype. Last time it happened to me was when I purchased Gothic 3. I was all excited because I'd be a part of the third installment of my favorite games at the time...Wow, was I raped for 40 dollars.
Never again will I jump on a bandwagon, even if I am part of the beta. I will always wait for some educated reviews, several weeks after release.

Look, I made this thread to be one of constructive information, not yet another thread for arguing crap.
Now, can you two agree to disagree, or do I need to have the staff do some pruning so the thread is not locked?
Has any progress been made on the frontier of Stradden - Aventurine communications?
~cough~

I figure we'll keep this thread alive at least until Friday for them to post in. That gives them a full week from when the subject was brought up. Should be more than enough time for them to at least have attempted contact with Tasos plus time for Tasos to respoond back.
If nothing gets posted in here by Admin or Stradden by Friday, I'll start the e-mail badgering.
And I thought that I cared....Sheesh

A bump and a related update.
Looks like people made requests for TenTonHammer to make similar enquires towards Aventurine recently but they were declined, so I doubt MMORPG will get a response either.

I think its pretty obvious why Aventurine are not allowing access to their public beta to members of the mainstream gaming press.
so a well established, greatly influential site like TTH can't score an interview, when the devs said they would allow any media willing to come to greece to see what was going on, but they give a screwball pair of wonder twins the time of day?
makes it seem really shady now.
Interesting. They start the thread over there at Forumfall with an insult aimed at mmorpg.com and then spend 3 pages thinking up kooky reasons why Tasos refused TTH.
I'm fairly sure you're right that mmorpg.com will be denied access, even if they offer to go to Greece. The main thing I want to see now is the reason Tasos gives them for denying them.
Read that thread. That pic was proved to be fake.
I was going to say that the picture was somewhat suspicious, because of the poor typing. But I wasn't really thinking it was entirely forged...Wow, just wow.
I really don't understand why so many people are trying to spread lies about this company and game. Isn't enough that they're doing semi-retarded things on their own?
But yeah, if that picture had been true, I would have lost all hope in Aventurine. There's still a splinter remaining, and it's clinging to that potential beta.

It just proves the rule - take everything you find on mmorpg with a handfull of troll-salt.
I can't get the links muffin claims shows the pic is fake to load up, even when I sign into TTH. Did TTH say it was fake?
Click the pic. There's an address link in the address bar of the browser which identifies both the thread and the post. The links in muffins post link to both that thread and that post. Neither work, therefore no thread and no post.
ie - it doesn't exist.

Okay, I ran the address in the pic and it went to TTH and it gave me the standard "you can't access this on your account" deal. That's normally the page I get when a thread has been deleted. So looks like we're gonna have to get the moderator chick to say whether that post in the pic was real or not.
I'l try sending her a pm/e-mail with a link to the picture and see if she'll respond.
Edit: Okay, sent a pm to Shayalyn with links to both the pic in question as well as the link to this thread, basically just asking for a "yes" or "no" in regards to whether it was a real thread/post which was deleted, or a fake.
Hopefully, I manage to catch her before she takes of for Thanksgiving.
You're resourceful.
Happen to already have a destined guild for Darkfall, if it releases? If so, I'd like in :P

Everything has to be fake that portrays this game negatively to some people thoough now doesn’t it?, just looks like the knee jerk damage control reaction to me.
The links to the post not working does not “prove” its fake, it could simply mean the thread was deleted.
Hopefully Zorvan will get a reply and this can be resolved.
Why anyone would declare this was fake outright seems silly to me, Aventurine have spent the last 5 years hiding their game from the mainstream press, I don’t see why them declining this interview would be that difficult to believe.
If i was Aventurine i wouldn't answer alone of the fact someone can't spell my company name right in that email...and consider it trash
I wouldn't want such bad informed people who even don't have done some basic research about my name to come visit me..

Well, to me the fact that it came up with an "you're not authorized", rather than "no such found" makes me think it was a deleted post rather than faked. But I am waiting for a response to my e-mail so that it can be definitively put to rest. Unfortunately, nothing yet. And with the Thanksgiving holiday, it may take awhile.
