Every public statement I've heard from Aventurine is stuff like "this game isn't for everyone" "we don't want to appeal to WoW users" and stuff like that.
I respect people who tell it like it is.
If Aventurine came out and said, "Wow, that launch really sucked. Saying sorry seems kind of insufficient. Hope you still give it a go now that we got it right." ... that would be class.
Trying to pick and choose a couple of good points in a week of fail just means that mediocrity is their measurement of success.
They DID do that. Their news posts were filled it almost EXACTLY what you said.
"We're terribly sorry blah blah, we know that saying sorry isn't enough and won't make up for, blah blah, we're trying to fix things as fast as we can blah blah, we are giving anyone who pre ordered an extra 3 days of free access to the game to try to make up for the issues"
All of that (minus the transitorial blah blahs of course) was said on their website, yesterday. They have owned up to it. But I guess that's not enough for most people that would like to assume they're running away with money.
PS, I also just noticed the submission date, the 28th, while it was still in beta... sounds like a troll post to me.

You see, I can understand some people did get some success with the game yesterday, but the vast majority, its plain to see, didnt.
Posts yesterday proclaiming that only trolls were bashing the game did no one any favours, it just enraged paying customers who werent as lucky and were having a frustrating time of it.
This games biggest problem is the devs. Now, take this article for what it is, rubbish, but the point is that taking down forums, no updates, telling people their cards are no good after they have taken money, all that makes it LOOK dodgy, regardless of reality.
Thats the big problem. Not bugs in the game, not anything . coding can be fixed. People thinking the game is a con, that can never be fixed. And right now, the devs of this game are making that particular image very easy to beleive for anyopne who hasnt followed the thing for the last few years.
Remember, to a gamer not involved in the buildup, they are just a faceless company asking for your card details. Image is everything.

Actually you missed the point. I have more of a problem with you right now then Aventurine
How is Aventurine going to sue an anonymous guy? Wait.. What?
Screw this anonymous guy. His claims are as good as his anonymity. OP had to do quite a dig to find that stuff.. troll.
Not really lol, Would have been easy to find if the OP made the report lol. Not saying he did lol, just saying IF he did it wouldn't take much to find lol.

That means, they DIDN'T take the money, because the transaction never went through, see?
well i dont get it why even bother to play a game you dislike so much if it bothers you so much that you have to go out of your way to post in a lack of better words shit about the people and the product they offer then why even bother to watch its progress or even deal with it.
when you go to a fast food place and the line is all the way to the street do you sit there for 30 mins and bitch about it or do you go somewhere elese. the point is every one knows the faults and problems why keep smashing it over and over and say crap abut a game company that you will still end up useing when it all over said and done.

Geez lol Ok. for one.......... Theres a section of the forums called News, Oddly enough it has news in it.............Secondly there are stickies regularly put up with even more information............... now that the forums are down and have been down, when you try to readh them a bulletine pops up............
Sure you check one part of the site, your going to find very little info......... Try using the rest of the site, oddly enough........... it's full of all kinds of info about DF OO! Some even from the Devs OMG!

In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king
Anyone else find it highly improbable that a blind kingdom would end up forming...
I gotta be honest, this thread really seems to be getting nowhere...Seems like its constant argueing over what happened...But the issue is everyone views everything differently. Kinda like the whole thinking this game is a scam idea. If I wasnt following the game Id definently think this company may be up to something, but luckily I know better. The point is just realize that we all see it differently...and stop these constant arguement threads that consist of calling eachother names.

OH.... my bad... you're right... I didn't read that... and that piece of information is... where? exactly? Cause if it is on the DF forums you will have to excuse me for not being able to read that right now. You know, it being down for the past 24 hours and all...
Ok - so - Sigmus - you aren't a paid member of the DF team... you are a volunteer member? Gotcha. Ok... there ya go. Feel better now?
So the only difference between you and Brannoc is that they pay him for his (more tempered) fanboy-ism-ness.
Well.. Brannoc FTFW then buddy. Where did you miss your boat?
They took down the forums specifically so that people COULD see the updates, and that's exactly where they're being posted. They haven't told anyone their cards are no good, they simply posted that some cards reject purchases in Euros if its the first Euro purchase you've made with the card. That means, they DIDN'T take the money, because the transaction never went through, see?
There are several reports right here that people have been charged the pre order, then getting a generic message telling them the card details are incorrect.
As I said, easily avoidable, and bad image for anyone contemplating the game.
As for the rest, you expect educated adults to swallow a line about taking down their own forums to improve communication.
Tasos is a coward, it went tits up, and he closed the forums to hide from the fallout. I'd respect him if he opened them up and took the flak.
Hes the one that proclaimed the game was 'more ready for release than many games already out there' 12 months ago, and that the game had the most advanced AI of any MMO.
So advanced it stands there pounding on a corpse whilst everyone else kills it with no risk.
Overhyped, by Tasos, and when the game fails to live up to it, he does the equivalent of fingers in the ears shouting la la la at the reaction.
As I said, the devs actions make this game appear worse than it is. This will be the thing they dont recover from, if it doesnt change, not in game bugs.
They took down the forums specifically so that people COULD see the updates,
LOL
Maybe they also created many bugs on their game to prove they can fix them ?But you 'd better stop posting there Signus. You are ridiculous, I hope you noticed noone can trust you anymore even DFO fans. (I BL you it's enough)
This report is abusive and ridiculous, it's not a pb of scam. They are only unprofessional. They don't have enough funds to pay professional devs, and enough money to buy 2 or 3 servers. Pathetic , only pathetic. They are some nerds thinking they could create a MMORPG with some friends, some funds and some computers. They tried and they failed. No surprise for me.

I love the ASSumption song, don't you?
So you didn't know what moderators looked like on the Darkfall boards, but you went ahead and assumed I was one anyway? That's logical. Note it doesn't say moderator anywhere near my name, I have no moderating powers, I have weight anywhere on the Darkfall website. The only reason my name is a different color is because I helped moderate the IRC room sometimes. But now I guess, I won't be posting here, because people will look for any ammunition to bash Darkfall, and that weird kid stalking my account posting that picture in every thread will lead the more gullible to believe I'm on the staff somehow.
But anyway, carry on with your face to the floor, its easier that way.

Wow.
"I believe x so I'm not going to accept any opinions to the contrary."
Your post is valid in a world where no one ever changes their mind. I for one have tweaked mine, and swayed more towards favoring Aventurine in the past 24 hours...
"continue to promote it" I've never seen one advertisement for Darkfall, ever. Sounds like someone is news grubbing.
Oh I decided to give it another look over and found this gem, "Being that they are promising potential buyers the greatest game of all time, they will be sure to get a few thousand people in the world to preorder a game for approx. $50." The pre order was only 3 dollars, and you can cancel it at any time, as for being promised "the greatest game of all time" I think that "reporter" is on something.
Really?
So right now if someone wanted to cancel... they could?
And where can they do that... right now? Since you said "at any time"... right?
This is why i refered to the Quote "In the kingdom of the blind the one eyed man is king"
Anybody with any information at all can get people on their side with a little bit of information that they conjured up, without any facts backing them up. Hence the expression that the people who choose to believe the information are the blind men and the king is the one who spreads the information.

Dude, why all the hate? You had a title!! Since all the links got taken down I dont know what it was, but it was an OFFICIAL TITLE. I didn't say you were the community manager, community ball-washer, or santa claus. Hell I didn't even know it was you till you confirmed.

Ashton692 your face seems to have a serious sync issue, it is impossible for me to punch it.
Please have that checked out.
Kinda off topic but why is mouthbreathing an insult? Some people have miserable allergies and breathe through there mouth....
Or just fat.
Thank god, I just realized the connection between fat people and mouth breathing. Thanks for the help

Sure you check one part of the site, your going to find very little info......... Try using the rest of the site, oddly enough........... it's full of all kinds of info about DF OO! Some even from the Devs OMG!
Not really lol, Would have been easy to find if the OP made the report lol. Not saying he did lol, just saying IF he did it wouldn't take much to find lol.
We should file a scam report for this scam report methinks..
The report was filed by Mehen. Any of you other trolling haters could have done the same thing if you chose too.
This report has no more meaning than any of the other ignorant and hating drivel found on this or other forums.
agread
For anyone who got in (several thousand) the game was running more or less fine until the latter part of the day, which is when I couldn't play anymore due to the dead zones. These were fixed when I logged in this morning, synch issues still persist.
I was never a fan of the billing, but I feel the actual game itself is being handled fine. I'm just shocked that some people are making up their own ideas of what Aventurine has said "Greatest game of all time" is honestly, laugh out loud pathetic. Every public statement I've heard from Aventurine is stuff like "this game isn't for everyone" "we don't want to appeal to WoW users" and stuff like that.
You see, I can understand some people did get some success with the game yesterday, but the vast majority, its plain to see, didnt.
Posts yesterday proclaiming that only trolls were bashing the game did no one any favours, it just enraged paying customers who werent as lucky and were having a frustrating time of it.
This games biggest problem is the devs. Now, take this article for what it is, rubbish, but the point is that taking down forums, no updates, telling people their cards are no good after they have taken money, all that makes it LOOK dodgy, regardless of reality.
Thats the big problem. Not bugs in the game, not anything . coding can be fixed. People thinking the game is a con, that can never be fixed. And right now, the devs of this game are making that particular image very easy to beleive for anyopne who hasnt followed the thing for the last few years.
Remember, to a gamer not involved in the buildup, they are just a faceless company asking for your card details. Image is everything.
In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king
Anyone else find it highly improbable that a blind kingdom would end up forming...
I gotta be honest, this thread really seems to be getting nowhere...Seems like its constant argueing over what happened...But the issue is everyone views everything differently. Kinda like the whole thinking this game is a scam idea. If I wasnt following the game Id definently think this company may be up to something, but luckily I know better. The point is just realize that we all see it differently...and stop these constant arguement threads that consist of calling eachother names.
This thread was waste of bandwidth.
OH.... my bad... you're right... I didn't read that... and that piece of information is... where? exactly? Cause if it is on the DF forums you will have to excuse me for not being able to read that right now. You know, it being down for the past 24 hours and all...
Ok - so - Sigmus - you aren't a paid member of the DF team... you are a volunteer member? Gotcha. Ok... there ya go. Feel better now?
So the only difference between you and Brannoc is that they pay him for his (more tempered) fanboy-ism-ness.
Well.. Brannoc FTFW then buddy. Where did you miss your boat?
They took down the forums specifically so that people COULD see the updates, and that's exactly where they're being posted. They haven't told anyone their cards are no good, they simply posted that some cards reject purchases in Euros if its the first Euro purchase you've made with the card. That means, they DIDN'T take the money, because the transaction never went through, see?
There are several reports right here that people have been charged the pre order, then getting a generic message telling them the card details are incorrect.
As I said, easily avoidable, and bad image for anyone contemplating the game.
As for the rest, you expect educated adults to swallow a line about taking down their own forums to improve communication.
Tasos is a coward, it went tits up, and he closed the forums to hide from the fallout. I'd respect him if he opened them up and took the flak.
Hes the one that proclaimed the game was 'more ready for release than many games already out there' 12 months ago, and that the game had the most advanced AI of any MMO.
So advanced it stands there pounding on a corpse whilst everyone else kills it with no risk.
Overhyped, by Tasos, and when the game fails to live up to it, he does the equivalent of fingers in the ears shouting la la la at the reaction.
As I said, the devs actions make this game appear worse than it is. This will be the thing they dont recover from, if it doesnt change, not in game bugs.
They took down the forums specifically so that people COULD see the updates,
LOL
Maybe they also created many bugs on their game to prove they can fix them ?But you 'd better stop posting there Signus. You are ridiculous, I hope you noticed noone can trust you anymore even DFO fans. (I BL you it's enough)
This report is abusive and ridiculous, it's not a pb of scam. They are only unprofessional. They don't have enough funds to pay professional devs, and enough money to buy 2 or 3 servers. Pathetic , only pathetic. They are some nerds thinking they could create a MMORPG with some friends, some funds and some computers. They tried and they failed. No surprise for me.

I love the ASSumption song, don't you?
So you didn't know what moderators looked like on the Darkfall boards, but you went ahead and assumed I was one anyway? That's logical. Note it doesn't say moderator anywhere near my name, I have no moderating powers, I have weight anywhere on the Darkfall website. The only reason my name is a different color is because I helped moderate the IRC room sometimes. But now I guess, I won't be posting here, because people will look for any ammunition to bash Darkfall, and that weird kid stalking my account posting that picture in every thread will lead the more gullible to believe I'm on the staff somehow.
But anyway, carry on with your face to the floor, its easier that way.
Darkfall Travelogues!
Wow.
"I believe x so I'm not going to accept any opinions to the contrary."
Your post is valid in a world where no one ever changes their mind. I for one have tweaked mine, and swayed more towards favoring Aventurine in the past 24 hours...
Really?
So right now if someone wanted to cancel... they could?
And where can they do that... right now? Since you said "at any time"... right?
This is why i refered to the Quote "In the kingdom of the blind the one eyed man is king"
Anybody with any information at all can get people on their side with a little bit of information that they conjured up, without any facts backing them up. Hence the expression that the people who choose to believe the information are the blind men and the king is the one who spreads the information.
Dude, why all the hate? You had a title!! Since all the links got taken down I dont know what it was, but it was an OFFICIAL TITLE. I didn't say you were the community manager, community ball-washer, or santa claus. Hell I didn't even know it was you till you confirmed.
I didnt even post the link!!!!!!
Me think thou dost protest too much!
