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.
I'll play a trial before I even think about buying, I never really followed Darkfall, but I saw the trailers, and they were somewhat underwhelming to me. Hopefully a trial could prove me wrong, it'd be nice to find a new game that is actually fun.
Will check the game out, but not buying it from start that's for sure. After what I hear people talk about this game it seems like ti promises all the cool stuff other games has failed making happen. So will stay put and see how it is recieved by the players first before spending money on it.

Aventurine made no such promise
I swear I read somewhere that they were so confident in their game that they would allow everyone a free try before they asked for a subscription, I guess it must've been more fanboy hype from the forumfallers. Are they even planning a free open beta?

They promised an open beta so people could try before they buy. The "open beta" is shrouded in mystery and will end soon, assuming it's started already.

Tasos said he "hoped" they would be able to have a trial for the game. At the time the fanboys took this as there definitely would be a trial and every time someone posted something about not wanting to give Aventuring their money they would remind that person that there will be a trial.
Lately, though, all of the fanboys have changed their tune and are now posting that Aventurine never said they would have a free trial and that it was only a maybe. I'm not sure why their tune changed.

Actually that was never promised either.. but who said there wouldnt be an open beta?
no... i wonder what the next fanboi excuse will be when the game is not out by jan 22nd
At this point, the fanboi base doesn't matter... it would be the financial backers repo'n the furniture, so I don't think they would set this date "Officially" for the launch and not stick to it.

wont buy, something tells me this game will be bugged as hell. I will wait for the US servers, let the EU beta test it.

i wonder what % of trolls will show their face around here when it does.
most will be too busy in game of course. others will play it off like they never even hinted at this game not comming through.

It is interesting to see how the rhetoric has changed (well not for everyone) over the last 1.5 months.
