Yea i am sorry but i admit critics won this battle over Jan 22 ..
Free trial isn't invites only and NDA for me...
But there is still hope for the War for me coming days
-----MY-TERMS-OF-USE-------------------------------------------------- $OE - eternal enemy of online gaming -We finally WON !!!! 2011 $OE accepted that they have been fired 2005 by the playerbase and closed down ridiculous NGE !!
"There was suppression of speech and all kinds of things between disturbing and fascistic." Raph Koster (parted $OE)
Awe the poor trolls. I bet this has ruined an otherwise great day for them.
Not really... please show me in that vague pointless news blurb how anything has changed?
They failed to say how many invites have gone out.
They confirmed that the NDA will be in place past pre-orders.
They failed to clarify why they had issues today.
Honestly, what was in there that gave any hope things are progressing? With the NDA no one even KNOWS if any invites were sent out other then (supposedly) the people that got them.
No, I would say over all this day is still a fail for Aventurine. Transparency would go a long way to giving hope back to their community.

He stated since the delay of launch that the beta would be limited, and apologized for not being able to support the number of applicants they have received.
Now forum is down Darkfall is even more hyped then ever lol soon 500k followers:P
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.
come on ppl of corse there not gonna lift the NDA befor thay stress test the servers becouse if it fails and thay have to rework the servers everyones gonna run away screaming like its the end of the world NO GAME LIFTS THERE NDA BEFOR THAY TEST THERE SERVERS YOU FUCKING WINY LITTLE BRATS GROW UP YOU CAN PLAY THE GAME WHEN ITS REDY i like Trolling the trolls
So implementing pre-orders before the servers are stress-tested is ethical then? Get your head on straight fallboi. This is pure scam.
Tasos et al. are poster children why people should go to college. The mistakes they're making with their business arel aughably avoidable with just a bit of learning.
Wait, is this a repost? Tasos claimed they were gradually inviting literary thousands of people every week for closed beta, yet the leaks claim the world lacks players.. This is just a trick to please the fanboys while they continue to stal the release.

You stating they look like childish tools on the internet makes you look like??
This is just silly, there is nothing new and the news today are just a rehash of what was said in December. "First wave of testers etc. and more are added on a daily basis". We know that of mid January there were about 200 testers thats must have been a hell of a wave or waves lol
The NDA has to be physically signed and therefor I hereby say that todays news are bullshit and another lie.

No game lifts their NDA for a stress test? WoW says otherwise. Blizzard allowed anyone to download the game and try it out. That's what I was expecting with Darkfall when they said they would allow a free trial of the game to be downloaded to try out and stress test the servers.
It seems Darkfall does not understand what Open Beta means though if they leave a NDA in place. Doing the testing by invites isn't such a big thing but leaving the NDA there makes it a Closed Beta. Course I will find it humorous if they push the release date again considering they pushed their Beta date by years which really gives a good idea of what to expect from them after release.
I was looking forward to the stress test to see if I wanted to even bother trying the game to see if it could get me away from WoW (no levels or classes kinda pushes me away already). But I guess I need to wait for them to resolve their other failing point in how they cannot get the game out in the US at the same time as EU considering the game has been in development for over 8 years and they somehow couldn't get a US publisher in that timeframe.

Actually the news blurb said NDA would be in effect through the end of testing. Since it is doubtful testing will end 2 - 3 weeks prior to release... yes there is in fact a very good chance that the NDA will be in effect through the opening of pre-orders. This goes against what Tasos has implied in the past.

downtoearth is that you?
Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!
We apologize for the problems with the forums and the website today, we have been experiencing denial of service attacks, and we are working to resolve them.
Does anyone seriously believe this bs re denial of service attacks. Obviously their system cannot handle the dowloading of the client and the patch updates. Its as simple as that. As has been stated elsewhere if it was denial attack it would have been resolved by now.
They are straight out lying on this one.
Give it a day and other people will be hosting the download and things will calm down.
What irks me is how they think they can lie so blatantly to their future customers. They make NCSoft customer support look good.
Playing: Darkfall New Dawn (and planning to play Fallout 76) Favourite games have included: UO, Lineage2, Darkfall, Lotro, Baldur's Gate, SSX, FF7 and yes the original Wizardry on an Apple IIe
I have been following this game for 4 years now !! Hoping it becomes real .. but everyday I loose more hope !!
With the NDA still in place no way to verify if they are telling the truth.
If one month from release they should have minimum 100K testers - not 200 testers !!
Look at their website !!!! Look at description of job they have posted !! why need this person now when one month from release ???????????????

That is some very sound down to earth thinking. Bravo! Lets just give them some more time, about a month sounds about right.
I have to say, I am surprised. Not by the crap Tasos is pulling now -- that was completely expected. No, I'm surprised by the number of people who STILL believe this guy and hang on his every word. The depths of the stupidity surrounding this company and this game is just staggering, and yet people continue to believe. And if you dare question the validity of Tasos' claims or the game, you're a "hater." It is mind boggling.
Ah well, back to playing real games for me. You guys enjoy your wait. I have no doubt it'll be a long one.

I wonder what this abortion of a game will actually play like if and when it's released. Oh well guess I'll just sit back and enjoy the ride...
