DARKFALL AVAILABLE MARCH 3RD

in Darkfall

 Tasos 2:30 PM

We’ll open up sales of a limited number of copies of Darkfall tonight European time Tuesday March 3d. We will try to repeat this every weekday until the extreme demand slows down and we’re able to leave the shop open 24/7. To answer the questions of how you can sell out a digital download, we’re throttling the number of new players in the world to limit queue times and protect the user experience. Server optimizations first and adding new servers in time are the steps we are taking to improve this experience.

From our launch experience, the extreme demand caused the account management infrastructure to lag and often time out. The hammering of the system by the users made things worse. Repeated attempts by users led to charge failures because of bank security rules. Incorrect billing information also led to failed transactions.

We expect the account management system to face extreme demand today as well. In order to try to avoid the issues we describe above, users who refresh before timing out, open multiple windows or tabs, and hammer the system will be temporarily blocked. Please do not refresh unless you have timed out or you will lose your place in the queue.

We'll post when sales open. If the copies we have available for today sell out, we will repeat this process again tomorrow.

Thank you,

The Darkfall Team

     WHAT DOES HE MEAN BY TIME-OUT

     WHAT DOES HE MEAN BY TIME-OUT

     

    Wikipedia:

    Cadbury Time Out is a chocolate based snack introduced in 1992 in the UK and 1995 in Australia, consisting of two wafer fingers covered in chocolate, similar in concept to a Twix. Unlike the Twix however, the Time Out is on a wafer base (not biscuit), has no caramel and the chocolate coating is smooth. The Time Out bar includes a thin layer of Cadbury Flake chocolate.

    The bar is sold in the United Kingdom and has been sold in Australia for a number of years, as well as various other Australasian countries.

    When it first came out, it was a substantial snack (about 25 grams), then suddenly it was down-sized to 20.5g. The new single-finger bar, just released, shrunk into 16g.

    Wait a min!! who is at fault here? The player? From reading this all I get is its my fault I can’t get the game or if I did play it.  Is it wise to say that your servers are having issues because people are putting in the wrong billing information.  Or even there is lag because of users hammering the servers?



    I don’t think I like the finger being pointed at me for the game or billing  issues.  Next time try saying “we’re having issues processing the amount of requests” or “Our servers aren’t able to handle the influx of new players.  We made the decision to limit the sale of the game so we could fix our problem.  Thank you for your understanding.”



    Oh, tossing around the word “extreme” more then once doesn’t make you sound hip.

    last time, they blamed the customers.

    this time, they're blaming the customers and temp banning you if you dare to refresh (instead of ooooooooooo fixing the problem on their side).

     

    no one buying this product is going in with blinders.

    could we please get correspondent writers and moderators, on the eve forum at mmorpg.com, who are well-versed on eve-online and aren't just passersby pushing buttons? pretty please?

    The guy who said AV has no way to stop them. if Darfall uses gameguard it will be pretty simple but if the game is server sided / client sided it will take years before they make a hack for darkfall trust me. And since darkfall isn't a free mmo it doesn't have gameguard so AV will have no problem.

    And besides if somebody makes an hack they wont release it public they will keep it to themselves like they do on WoW. Notice there is no WoW hacks publicly released only bots.

    This game is perfect it's free to pk so if you see any bots just smack them lol. It's client sided / Server sided so hackers will have difficulties to hack the game.

    Trust me it wont be easy ^^ and AV will probally add some cheat system to prevent them even more.

     Woh woh woh stop the thread!

    It will take YEARS TO HACK DARKFALL?

    What was that thread about speedhacks already made and released about then? I was thinking about trying darkfall but I'm now staying away for a month or two to see what happens with the hacks.

    Your lack of information is what screws people over who are on the fence. Darkfall is heavily client sided and very easy to hack. Go to youtube type in Darkfall speed hack and you'll see what I mean. The game is far from perfect and the team will not be able to use game guard because their amateurish (I mean innovative) coding would never allow it.

    This game is doomed to have hacks unless they re-create the architecture which they won't. But have fun getting your ass handed to you with pricks that run around full speed with no stamina loss and run circles around you before you can get a hit off.
