Yea only 1 server for 300 000 customers, can you say disaster.
It will also have only a single core processor and tied on a 54kbit modem ...

I remember another company being that cocky to think 1 server could handle everyone that wanted to play, anyone else remember the fiasco that was Anarchy Online. Heck the first month was just given to everyone over kinda like a mulligan when they had to add another server. I do remember trying to get out of the newb zone...LOL ahhh days gone by.
Regardless of whether its true or not, 300,000 customers is a little overly optimistic, don't you think? Most gamers (casual or hardcore) haven't even heard of this game.

One server cluster, and they aren't the first to do this. I don't mean TRY, either. This method has already been proven successful in another game. Whether THEY can pull it off is another tale for another day...and I'm not here to discuss the future like some kind of forum gypsy. Just wanted to clarify that running a single server cluster for an entire playerbase IS possible and has already been done.
Furthermore, you haven't offered actual proof of your claim. Not that it matters, because EVE does this and it works. Remember, I'm not a DF fanboy either. IF you look through my post history you'll find I've spent most of my time in this forum trashing DF at every turn. I just think that this particular matter is completely off base as a thing to start running ones mouth about.
Yep..bet the "server" is one of the devs laptop.(how much of this farce does it take to wake some people up)
You eat up unproven statements as fast as any fanboi.
"The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands, To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming! On we sweep with threshing oar, our only goal will be the western shore."
I can't think of a reason why I would NOT want only one server. And I can't think of a reason why it would NOT be some extra problems for the makers.

No it's 1 server for the 300,000 open beta testers at the moment, probably be something like 1 server for 3,000,000 customers on the 22nd. (Don't flame me I'm not a hater, I just think they will start low and build up)
Well you are a hater and pretty much a troll, but flaming you would be a waste of time.
Actually.. I either read or watched an interview that said they wanted it to be one big server as well.. I don't have a link.. so you can call me all the names you want, I'm not trying to start wars here.
It may have been a long time ago as well, but now.. seeing as there has been so much hype and just about everyone knows what Darkfall is who follows MMO's.. it would be impossible. The server wouldn't just crash. It would break and catch on fire.

This has been a joke on the DF forums for a few months now that the users on DF forums surged. Most people thought it would crash on launch day due to everyone logging on.
I would assume they probably meant to have more. Maybe their publisher fell through, maybe they ran out of funds. Who knows? You can't assume that everything will go according to plan. It hasn't been that long ago that there were under 50k users on the DF forums. It's not unreasonable for them to run into a problem deploying servers.
I think anyone who has ever worked on a project knows how things always find ways to throw a wrench in your plans.
Your mind is like a parachute, it's only useful when it's open. Don't forget, you can use the block function on trolls.

Dont know , they can have 50k- 100k players from only greeks,you know this is a first mmo from greece .Greeks will give a try i think

Do you realize that Greece has around 11 million people? 11.000.000. What you are suggesting is that 0.5-1.0% of the total population would buy Darkfall?

There are 300k register but believe when game launches it will prolly go up to 500k its been hyped by trolls vapor shouters for almost 5 years now so yes many casuals and carebears even know about Darkfall:)
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.

It will also have only a single core processor and tied on a 54kbit modem ...

Confirmed : Lame thread. Can you say troll?

Only those who really like pvp and free sandbox game have heard of darkfall.
I actually hope it will stay that way, we don't want the general wow crowd that whines just about having to walk back to the corpse as a ghost.
Think of the whine we will have on the forum the day they loose all their gear. ..nightmare..
To topic,. it has been confirmed more then 1 server.
although Ao failed at start with 1 server, it still a game with good twinking and cool free world.
No it's 1 server for the 300,000 open beta testers at the moment, probably be something like 1 server for 3,000,000 customers on the 22nd.
(Don't flame me I'm not a hater, I just think they will start low and build up)
Yea i agree, i dont want a lot of customers, maybe after 10 000 players, they should stop the subscription

but the server will have a white border (confirmed), so it will be able to handle that plus much much more.

1 server is all you need for an unfinished unplayable untested game.
hmmm actually maybe 1 server is 1 to many.
