since you can try the game for free before buying it il se how that goes
curious when this statement moved to "absolute truth" from the "we hope to have" initially?
It is thrown around the forums here so often.
Don't know, but just for comparison, this is what A Tale in the Desert is doing. You can download the game for free, and you have to put up a credit card, but you get 24 hours of game play. After you play the game 24 hours (in game time) you get a message that asks if you want to subscribe, yes keep playing, no, the free trial is over.
like i said on another thread like this if it doesent have a open beta or trial or some kind of gameplay test i wont buy it even if i se videos or people say its a good game
Games played:AC1-Darktide'99-2000-AC2-Darktide/dawnsong2003-2005,Lineage2-2005-2006 and now Darkfall-2009..... In between WoW few months AoC few months and some f2p also all very short few weeks.
since you can try the game for free before buying it il se how that goes
As mentioned, this has never been officially annouced. In fact, I am positive that they will not have a "free to play" available at launch as they want people to actually purchase the game to recoup their investment. If a free version were available, no one would purchase it just try the free version. Wouldn't work.
I think the poll should have asked if you are waiting for American servers before you play.

well if they dont and theres no open beta il just have to wait till there is not buying otherwise simple as that
I'll wait for the reviews. There's no way I'm buying the game blind. Sorry kids, I work hard for my money.
Ive followed this game for over 5 years now so ill know enough to buy it while i dont know much still.
Btw to others you can't pre-order it and its TRY BEFORE BUY so dont worry you can play and deside if you wanne continuing or not.
Keep in mind its a snadbox with hardcore free for all full loot pvp, pve also very hardcore its made for nich hardcore market.
If you use to wow war aoc gw eq2 ffXI and many others this game maybe not for you be warned:)

Will wait one month if there is not a free trial. Takes about that time for truth to come through the thick cloud of fanbois.
Yeh you hope so well your entile to hope whatever you want but this game is more finished then every game every in history of mmo's to date.
I cant say if it will be best launch ever but its prolly very bug free and almost 100% complete.

I'm sure it will take less than a month to find out if it's crap. Took me about 2-3 weeks of playing AoC and WAR to get bored.
Btw, free trial won't cut any of the sales, unless of course if it's not a good game. You can have the client free to download and sell the cd keys, plus the per month subscription.

But AoC and WAR are themepark games and rushed out.
Darkfall is 100% sandbox and not rushed at all it prolly have worldrecord of development for a mmo!!!

I am gonna wait on this. For the simple fact that WAR was so hyped I bought the game on release day only to find that it was shitty poopoo. So, I will see what the community has to say about Darkfall when the game launches.
Do not anyone worry cause of his late coming the best places on Agon will be occupied ?
I ll expect a free try before i buy ..

"There was suppression of speech and all kinds of things between disturbing and fascistic." Raph Koster (parted $OE)
I find it amazing how much hype and attention Darkfall has gotten based on the information they have released. Countless screenshots and 1(lets be honest), average video at best. No real proof they have delivered on any of their promises.
In fact, none of their updates even talk about sieges, crafting, skills, city building, naval warfare, etc. Rather one update talked about the starter items and the next talked about the shadow settings.
Sure if Darkfall delivered it would be great but I'd want to see the slightest bit of proof first and don't see how people are willing to buy it right away based on no info. If it was EA, Blizzard or Sony you know they have a reputation and there is a decent game there. Maybe not great but something substantial. With Aventurine.. well.... not so much. Also any video game that can't even appear on a store shelf is skeptical. That hurts their subscriptions right away.
Often this game is compared to Eve and if Eve can make it, so can Darkfall. Maybe but Eve was in stores everywhere. That helps.... a lot.
Im just waiting for that one update where they actually talk about the features that are the reason they have so many fans.
Edit: As long as they have beta reviews that are more good than bad, Id probably buy it. Im just hoping with 5-6 weeks away we are finally going to get some information.
AoC was my DnL, and has taught me to never blindly trust a MMOG developer again. "Fortunately", I only lost the amount needed for a Fileplanet subscription, and not the full price of the game. I hope Aventurine makes good on their promise of a free trial period, or I won't even think of buying until the positive reviews from the unbiased hit the forums.

curious when this statement moved to "absolute truth" from the "we hope to have" initially?

I don't expect to dl DF for free, but it's just an example.
i know other games do it, Eve gives you the 14 day trials, WoW used to (not sure if they do at the moment with the WOTLK release) as well.
I just never saw anything positive about the free trials, just a hopefully comments turned into definitive comments by fans.
I will buy it to kill all the trolls who claime dit will fail and they'd never buy it... yet WILL be playing it
like i said on another thread like this if it doesent have a open beta or trial or some kind of gameplay test i wont buy it even if i se videos or people say its a good game
Ill buy it blindly:)

I'll wait only because I've been burnt by the big companies so the likely hood of preordering darkfall is very slim for me.

Good to hear.
You have really come a long way from spamming "vaporware" on this forum and saying "if it is even real"
