    What if you're married and not there to pick up women.

    IMO you have to have some entertainment in your life or its not worth living.

    1 night at the bar 50$. I am 99% sure that I am guranteed a good time. 50$ on an MMO granted a lot of play time in a month, but when/if i quit after a month I am leaving pissed off. Like AoC. I would much rather have my 115$ back from AOC (got the CE+1 month sub) and spend 115$ at a bar for 1 night.   When I buy an MMO I plan to play it for a while.

    Well then the smart consumer choice would be a bottle of Champagne and a movie at home.  Or if the smart consumer were out with said wife, the bar that had women drinking would still be the choice.

    Well there's your problem.

    I don't ever "plan" on playing an mmo past its first month. if it hooks me, which only 1 has ever since UO, all the better.

    Aye cause at least at a bar when you order a drink you dont get an empty glass and told the drink will be there in 2-6 months.

    I will never pre-order a mmo or buy a mmo without a trial run anymore! Have been burned too many times w/ bad releases. If they don't have the money to start a good launch it should never been launched, imo. I don't feel I need to be the first one in, and can wait to hear the reviews and other players have to say before I play another mmo. I want a fun, quality mmo. It shouldn't happen on my dime. If they create a fun mmo, they I'll pay the monthly fee to play it.

    I have a feeling Darkfall is not ready for release. Ready for release should be a completed quality game and not when the money runs out. But if they ever have a free trial period, I will try it and go from there.

    Be glad some devs dare to be different then the evequest model, and evolve from games like UO and AC.
    Nobody force you to follow or play this game.



     

    Believe me, I love the IDEA behind Darkfall.  I'll be happy for them when it comes out and IF it delivers on its promises.  I just wish they wen't about the creation process in even a SLIGHTLY professional manner.

    No, I'm definitely not excited for another WoW clone, tyvm.

    Wow already 12 pages, what a succesfull troll.

    ps : I always wondered why only the "haters" are usually called "trolls" when fanboys tend to be the best at this forum sport.

    Ohhhhhh I am waiting. And I will be waiting a month or so longer than  those who get in on release date . Like all others I do hope it's good, I hope it works as intended. If it does then I will be buying DF, and go in and start up my Alfar character.

    ^ that.

     

    If Jonyak bothered to read it in context with the post I was quoting it would have been more apparent.

    It would be stupid not to preorder. It's your right not to. But, I definitely don't recommend it.
    besides. if you pre-order you also give them more money so they can set up more servers, run the game for a longer time if it turns out to get into difficulties.
    You even get to play the game for like a week or so prior to the release. I think that's pretty neat.
     
    But, hey!.. If you don't preorder it just means that somebody else will. :) I know I will preorder within the first hour of those news. If I see it. I hope I do. .. I just wanna get in and give this game a chance. 
     
    No matter what happends with Darkfall, it's still the most daring and visionary game out there. I think we all deserve to give it a real chance and treat it well. Cause we've been bitching for years and we keep complaining. Now Darkfall is coming around to save us. Finally. .. let's show some gratitude.
     
    I know I will.
    Be a smarter consumer.
     

    I appreciate your opinion, but I will NOT be Preordering this (if it even comes out).

    This has to be a troll post because I refuse to believe that someone could be this stupid.

    OP is saying a smart consumer just buys a product without knowing anything about it?

    If that is smart then what is dumb? Reading reviews and then buying?

  • Label_ThisLabel_This Member Posts: 171

    I've never pre-ordered anything in my life and i can honestly say i'm like this random smiley which i will now click on.... 

    Why are there so many cutesie, fantasy, childish MMO's. Give me blood, gore and a long lasting challenge. I don't need my hand being held along the way. Thanks.

    I think it was more of a smart @SS thread to make fun of  "Be a smart consumer", which told consumers not to pre-order.

    It got locked, probably because it had a gameplay video of darkfall linked into it. the last comment lol.

    He is not a troll... well... kinda.  He is the person defending DnL until recently (and I think he still does).

    Now, he is in love with DFO.

    The OP is a Darkfall Moderator.

     

    It's your job to figure out which one.

    He who keeps his cool best wins.

    Lol, once again... Do i hear Dark and Light ?

    If u had used the term "be a pioneer" i'm sure that Quiliquinni and his crew could sue u for copycat'in, why not offerin red dragon mounts and titles like "pioneer" or "baron" as well ? 

    Man i'm looking for release date and see how many people were "smarter" by "ER" do u mean Error ?

    I am sorry but this has to be the dumbest fanboi post I have read on these forums ever. Seriously, I should pre-order to help them out. I don't think so - they should be smart enough and well-financed enough to get the servers up and running without my dollar.



    Add to that, Tasos saying there would be no pre-order program, I do not trust Aventurine anyway so I sure as heck will not trust them with my money.



    And the funny part is - there is no good reason to pre-order anyway. NONE!

    Oh! but there is.

     

     we know nothing about the map +1 point, we know nothing about how the skills work +1 point, we know nothing on how to level to end game in twenty minutes or less A++ and 10 points. most games only get a 9.? i think this one rates a A++ 12. for not saying here is what you get, but sometime in the future. Sounds good enough to me. Oh and for those that like PvP of course they will bitch because the game is not half dead yet so no place to stab them in the back....
