Anyone preordering this game has got to be seeing the world through rose colored glasses. I'm waiting for the game to actually ship and to see if it really even works or is a barely functional bug ridden mess which is kinda what I'm expecting.
I have stopped rewarding companies for not having open beta's.
I will no longer pre order a game with out a demo, or open beta for me to try first. I am done wasting money on half finished "indy" projects because they are afraid to let the masses play and see what the game is about before they buy it. That goes for single player games as well. I know the fanboi's will whine at people with this attitude, but fanbois will be fanbois for any game, and I am done paying 50bucks for half finished products even if I get a free month at the start. Ill wait until the US release, and if the game isn't horrible by then, and I have a friend who has an account I can try out I may buy it.
But until then, they need to prove to me they aren't releasing crap. Nothing to do with being cheap, has everything in the world with stopping the "trend" of companies relying on the fact they can get people to buy the game and pay to beta test their products for them.
As for the EU release before US, have they said if the EU to US server transfers would be free for the first month or so for those who don't want to wait?
Nice post I agree........The only problem wit ha game like Darkfall is that if they allow pre orders early access then it will give them a huge advantage in a PVP based game.......By the time alot of players get in the game the pre orders would be much more skilled and just crush the new players....I dont know for sure if they are going to allow early access but if they did then its just a bad deal......ALso who'd want to pre order from a company that has been developing (and not releasing) the game forever....... From the vids I have seen it is nothing special anyway and in the end it will probably be a bust anyway......

Yes.
I simply believe that my interest in Darkfall is worth the risk of a few £ should the game fail.
No way I'll be preordering this...
I'll wait for an open beta, a free trial, or for one of my friends to let me play it.
