Can't we just get along? Let's discuss Darkfall without attacks. (Save your attacks for mobs and p
Seriously guys (and gals)...
I've been very skeptical of this game for years. I've certainly voiced my strong opinions and my beliefs that Darkfall will ultimately fail.
It's getting so old though people. It's the exact same arguments over and over and over. And here's the thing.. Nobody will ever win.
The fans will continue to hold their chins up, especially with all the good news and finally a release date announced with a game launch finally coming soon. No amount of doubt, concerns, or questions will convince any of them to stop anxiously waiting for this game.
And the doubters, skeptics, and disbelievers will continue to have doubts as to the real chances of this game doing anything besides embarrassing the mmo genre as a whole.
It's coming soon now. I actually think that we will all soon know much more.
It's a mere six weeks away now. Can't we all just agree to disagree and perhaps have some actual stimulating conversations about Darkfall between now and the time that so many of our questions are answered on Jan 22, 2009?
Aventurine has promised that everyone will get to play this game before ever having to spend a dime. I think that is more then fair. If they break this promise, or start asking for money, then that will be a different story and we can all go back to arguing again like this is some huge holy war and stuff. But for now, let's just call a truce eh? Let's talk about the game elements promised, the features promised, and be realistic on what we might expect and/or hope for with this game. There are lot of questions and certainly not enough concrete answers. But I think if we all work together and stop trying to prove each side wrong that we might hit some common ground.
I honestly think that most of the "fanboys" here and most of the "trolls" all have doubts and concerns about this game and many of the legitimate questions that have been raised. And I also think that most of the people spending time reading and/or posting in these Darkfall threads have a genuine interest or at least a curiosity about this upcoming game.
I think we can settle down the flames and get down to that common ground we all share here in respect to Darkfall people. I really think we can chat and discuss some issues and topics maturely here and stop all these locked, trashed, and banned user threads.
Respect others opinions, desires, thoughts, and questions and ideas just as you'd want your own thoughts about Darkfall respected BEFORE you post. I really think it's THAT easy.
SO let's start things off with a question on my mind to all of you... Let's assume you participate in this game at its launch and find that the game runs surprisingly smoothly and feels solid. You see many other DF noobs also testing the controls and running around exploring and perhaps even battling near by. What will be some of the things you'll want to do and see those first few hours playing this game? Do you want to explore more? Perhaps you want to test out crafting or mining? Or maybe make some friends and group up? Maybe you wanna go whack some mobs or even some other players right off. What is it you'd be excited to do and so curious to experience given this situation? (Remember, no attacking anyone else for their thoughts or ideas here.. let's play nice and keep it cool)

Damn, almost a good post.
Then you said eh.
On a serious note, assuming the game will fail, or that it won't fail is just ignorant. We won't know untill release if they've implemented what they have promised, and implemented it properly.
But I think we can all agree that the "alleged" features are promising to all us non-carebear mmo players. And I really see no reason to preach how awesome the game will be (fanboys) or how much it will fail (trolls). but what I can understand is hyping it, because it is a promising game, and it deserves all the attention it can get - if it is true they will give us a trial, then there's no harm done. And a watchful eye from the consumers and critiques never hurt things.
I hope all the features listed on the website are going to be included at launch. That's all I am going to say.
Happy Holidays
I see you already are getting yourself loopholes?
