But, I'd be happy for it. The game is showing glimpses of potential, so I'd hate for them to rush it out. I mean shit... they took 7 years to make it, I'm sure another 3 or 4 months would be permitted.
In fact, I think they are shooting themselves in the foot with these release dates that seem impossible to meet.
No. Considering the lack of barely any information for this game, I would say it isn't really ready. Then again, the only ones who really know if it's ready or not are the guys making it and the people currently playing it, and even those views are distorted. If they really do think it's ready in less than a month from now, then by all means, they should launch it. I just hope that they realize that the best condition for the game is the only condition they can launch their MMO with such a finicky group of players. Or, at the very least, an honest launch; certainly helped WAR in comparison to AoC when they were honest about some content having to be removed.
My vote is no. After looking through all of the information I could find, there is no chance in hell this will meet it's release date. Unless somehow someway there is a huge patch/content added/out of "debug mode -lol"/features "turned on", and some game videos next week.. I will then begin to believe.
I don't believe this game is vaporware.
And about posting release dates and not making then a bad thing is rediculous to say. It throws everyone into a frenzy which results in a ton of traffic towards this game.
No, I dont think it will release. Which is a good thing.
Adventurine is trying to be a company of firsts. They've got some good concept. They want to show the gaming community that they are the type of company that will push back dates if their game isn't complete. That's my theory on what they are doing.
I vote that they delay the release if it is not ready, however with this economic environment I am sure the bankers and supporters are looking at trying to get their investment return back.
Haha this poll made me laugh. It's not really a poll to identify peoples thoughts regarding if the game would release on time; it's a poll to identify all the trolls. Wow... I expected maybe 30% troll activity but I guess this forum lives right in the heart of trollville. I'm not a fan boy, just an observer but I do say this game gets hammered a little too much by many self-acclaimed gaming experts. I am crossing my fingers that this thing is a success and I hope that the troll population a least has some hope because this market desperately needs a good game to stand out from the rest of the crap out there. I am playing XCOM to pass the time until I can try a new MMO.. lol
you misspelled "realists" . You said "trolls"
This poll wasn't "Do you believe Darkfall will fail?"
most of the ones that voted no ( including me ) like the game but realise the game would not be ready on 25
more than likely DF is coming out on the 25th just google Darkfall Leaks and you'll find more info than you need but what it breaks down to is the devs are turning more and more features on every day ingame and since they stopped testing the login/out features it is very stable

Ok so let me see if i get this straight. Your saying / assuming anyone that doesn't believe the game will come out on Feb 25th in this thread is a troll? (After all that is what the polls about.)
Ummm ok I'm a troll. Interestingly enough by your own standard many of the fans are now trolls as well.
It really depends on the next week or two of beta. Last beta forums update from Tasos was promising regarding balance and some other things but they do have some tweaking to do for release.
Obvious answer is do the smart thing that other companies fail to do....delay delay delay and make sure you have a working product on release and that you arent pushing something out the door and making people pay to beta.
Btw nice to see the trolling going down more and more as DF leaks etc come out and people just get proven wrong (again) about DF. Nice to see some still try though, bless their little hearts...where is that draccn guy with his conspiracy about DF being a hoax then went like 20 pages?
"The monsters are tough. I was looking for a challenge, but these things are just too damn smart." -DF Beta Tester
"If people were dismissing it, then they wouldn't be talking about it. The well-meaning gamers root for efforts that try to raise the bar. So who's left? It's so easy being a skeptic." -Tasos

I don't think it's a hoax.. I think it is just a very amateur and 'basic' game that is not in league with what most players think of a real MMORPG. It will be very similar to playing on a UO private server which are 'technically' MMORPGs also.
They will probably let more pre-orders in to continue beta testing for a few more months.
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!

That implies that any pre-orders have been selected at all....which is of course false since everyone currently in beta has not pre-ordered.
Trolling turning to pessimism?
Nah I'm just trying to be like everyone else around here who likes to imply and assume everything.
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!
Why is there such a troll epidemic for a game.. that may or may not ever launch from a development company nobody ever heard of?
Every day on this site for most of the day .. there is some thread about how its vaporware, won't launch, will fail if it does launch.
Seriously.. WTF...
I don't really follow Darkfall.. whether its launches or never launches doesn't really mean anything. *edit to add for clarity* In the end I am following the game because of the endless stream of troll posts about it.
So why is there a troll campaign on this game that exceeds ANY actual major MMO ever to be on this site?

Probably because people don't like being lied to by the games lead designer.

no trolling here ... move along
more than likely DF is coming out on the 25th just google Darkfall Leaks and you'll find more info than you need but what it breaks down to is the devs are turning more and more features on every day ingame and since they stopped testing the login/out features it is very stable
Six more months in a real beta wouldn't hurt this game.

i really hope so.

But God DID create the world in 7 days
Do you know for certain?
That implies that any pre-orders have been selected at all....which is of course false since everyone currently in beta has not pre-ordered.

And Santa Claus puts gift in every sock all around the world in 1 day
25th of febuary is when the beta or open beta for europe starts also.
The only question I really have is...
Why is there such a troll epidemic for a game.. that may or may not ever launch from a development company nobody ever heard of?

And we all started as cosmic goo. This is fun
Fool me once shame on you....
I was interested in the Jan 22 release. I don't care about February. Release, don't release, push it back a month, a year, whatever.
I'll be interested again when I see the NDA drop.
Probably because people don't like being lied to by the games lead designer.
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!
Well 6 actually, He rested on the 7th day........
I doubt the game will ever see the light of day and if by chance it ever does it won't be anything to talk about anyway. All hype and nothing more.
