If you have to ask questions like this I wouldn't bother playing MMOs, in fact you may struggle getting past a login.
(You asked for an Honest Answer)
Digital Private/ Yes/ No free client download with trial- subscription to follow/Standard MMO cost/ Standard monthly charge.
If I spend another 10 seconds on this i will have lost in wages what the above costs , what a bargain

To answer the OP's questions the honest answer is who the hell knows?
No information released less then 3 weeks out, that should be setting off alarm bells.

Too bad not a single letter of what you just typed has been confirmed in the least lol
I got the agree with the 2nd guy. Download servers aren't "tested'. Even Wow and LOTRO patches can become extremely slow and they are huge companies. So you said" If it takes forever I wont play". So if it take 12 hours to download something vs. 6 that means the game sucks and you will move on? I mean....seriously.

See this is the kind of bullshit that's typical of the DF fanatics...
The OP asked a legitimate question, in a mature and concise way and this numb-nut gives this kind of condescending answer with really no proof what so ever.
Even if DF releases and is not an enormous piece of shit. And if these are the kind of morons playing it's gonna fail like a lead Zepplin.
Ah... some of the posters in this thread remind me why I stopped coming to the Darkfall forums. Constantly complaining and bashing other people's threads, even if they ask legitimate questions in a non-threatening manner. Good to know this will be the community of Darkfall.
Templarga, for your answer: no one knows. At all. Nothing. I've searched for this information for the past month, and all you'll findare vague answers by devs trying to elude questions and random posts by fanboys saying that it'll be "standard MMO pricing" and things like that.
Can I confirm or reassure you that Adventurine is actually thinking about this problem and working on possible solutions? No I cannot. I wish I had that kind of confirmation for myself. I'm extremely skeptical about their entire development cycle, let alone the actualy marketing aspect of it. They haven't said a single word about one of the most obvious necessities of developing a game - getting it into the player's hands in an easy and effective manner.
On a side note: Even if it is possible and works, I don't think playing on European servers will be a good idea for those of us who live in the U.S., even if that is the only way to get the game at the beginning. I can forsee too many problems, lag being the obvious number one issue. Lag in an unforgiving PvP game like this will only annoy us and cause problems.
Anyways, here's to hoping someone finds some hidden thread from a real Dev giving an honest, straight forward answer.

Beautiful. The guy asks a legitimate question and you manage to respond rudely and ignorantly.
OP - Nothing pertaining to price or much else in terms of distribution has been confirmed (as far as I have seen).
Okay forget all you know about WOW and LOTRO patches. Forget everything you know about typical game releases. Darkfall is unique in that it will be digital download only and it will be worldwide (meaning at least Europe and North America) at the same time. So imagine several hundred thousand people all hitting the download servers at the same time across the globe. I am not talking a couple thousand people downloading patches at various times - I mean 100,000+ people (at a minimum probably) trying to download (lets guess 15-20 gigs) at the same time. The those same people patching, registering and trying to create accounts all at the same time. I think this would be a considerable feat for Blizzard, Mythic or Turbine, much less a small, independent developer.
Remember, there is no other way to get the game. Personally, I think getting the game in 12 hours would be consider lucky. I would think it would take a couple days would be more realistic.
Again, all I am looking for is some type of confirmation/comment to reassure me and others that this is being thought about and Aventurine is taking steps to be prepared for it. Otherwise, it is very very disconcerting and worrisome.
Tasos have confirmed that there will be a boxed game with launch, i must say i doub that it will be avaible at launch but its not only digital dl:)
