You and Darth should get together, and create your own DFO fan forum. That way you could moderate and censor it to your hearts content. Would give you all the tight fisted tyrant power you wanted in regards to DF. Web hosting and Domain Registries are cheaper then ever I hear to. You should look into that.
In War - Victory.
In Peace - Vigilance.
In Death - Sacrifice.
You missed the point.
Take a look at the topics of almost all of the threads on this forum.
Now direct me to the ones that are supposed to be discussions about the game by fans.
Most every post is either STARTED by someone that dislikes the game, or are open ended to the point that they aren't intended as discussion about the game for fans.
My point wasn't that threads get derailed or turn into flaming.
In case you didn't notice.
Most of the fanatics that defend the game with the brilliant, and oh so thought provoking, IT'S FUN, aren't any better then the "haters".
There is an overwhelming magority of people that dislike the game, and not just here.
The fans are a severe minority around here, and without the "haters" this forum would be dead.
I can also put it like this.
There's NOTHING to talk about with this game.
What are you going to discuss? Character build? Everyones building the same character. Loot? Everyone's getting the same loot. PvE? There isn't any. PvP? It's the same thing over and over and over. It's an incredibly shallow game; there's very little to even talk about.
You tell me.
What kind of a discussion would you like to have, here, about the game?
PS: I'm sorry, you're wrong. It's a VERY small community of people here that actually like the game. Did you know that there are even some people that will post in def. of the game here, but on the official forums they have a lot of negative things to say about the game.
I do agree that pretty much every thread in this DarkFall forum is made by someone who dislike the game or are too "open ended to the point that they aren't intended as discussion about the game for fans." It's impossible this is false. My point was that we'd see some topics made by fans and for fans of the game if we wouldn't see every single topic being flooded by talkshit about the game or the OP. First thing people see when they join the DF Forum is "Will Mortal Online finish off this game" or "We need an "I hate Darkfall" sticky thread on this board" can easily discourage any attempt for a fan to post a nice thread about the game. As for those who actually do say something good about the game, they are usually labelled as fanboi and the troll vs. fanboi war begins.
As for the fan database DF has, I'd rather just skip this part especially since we do not have real numbers. Some will say it is decent and others will say it's extremely small and I don't want to start this "my father is stronger" war and I doubt you want that too.
______________
Now I'm tempted to be the first one to make this thread about DarkFall for fans (a review were fans could post what they think should be slightly improved to make the game better or something along those lines) and see wether or not the thread will end up filled with talkshitting against either the OP or the game. Though I will have to film a few things first to show as proof (or I can simply find videos on youtube to back me up). This could possibly prove what I'm saying when I say that seeing the DF forum may discourage many fans to post on the forum, though the complete opposite can also be true.
Here's a thread for you. Just made:
http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/239956/A-discussion-after-a-gank-in-DarkFall.html
Take a look at the first person to flame someone.
It's not a "hater" It's a fan.
It's a two way street. You can't condemn one group and just give a pass to the other.
Those same fans you think need a place to post in peace aren't any better then the "haters" you want to segregate.

Thing is that I doubt DarkFall is the only one to suffer from those "you killed me so you hax" kiddies. Mortal Online will have it's share too and so are every other MMOs that have open world PvP (with or without Full Body Looting). Do admit the post was quite funny but I have seen that happen way too often in MMOs (EVE, Dofus and many more). As for the first person to post, since he did not post anything positive, he won't get flamed. That's what I want to prove. I want to see if a positive thread for fans can survive the rage. I do admit that I condemn many of these haters but as long as this person has recently played DarkFall (may or june) and simply didn't like it, I have no reason to "condemn" him.

you do understand that speed/teleport/piggyback hacks DO exist in this game. yes?
just wanting to set that straight right off the bat.
a positive post CAN stay positive... if people don't lie. that's where the problem comes in. people hide behind the phrase "my opinion" and then proceed to make statements which contradict factual information... THEN, they get upset that people are saying "their opinion" is wrong.
opinion ceases to be opinion when it contradicts factual information.
"my opinion is that there are no hacks in darkfalls"
"my opinion is that the crafting and combat in darkfall are next generation, revolutionary and complex. you must be dumb if you don't get it."
"darkfall is a niche game and that's why it only has a few thousand subs"
"it's all those people coming from WOW that are ruining and whining and leaving darkfall".
things like that, can SOUND like opinion, but
hacks exist
crafting is incredibly boring and nothing but a boring timesink to build big things. combat is a poorly done fps. isn't shadowrun a semi mmo-fps with magic?
niche games can have 100s of thousands of subs. niche is not why df has only a few thousand subs.
why would someone playing wow play darkfall? if darkfall HAS 10k active subs... that's, literally, 1/1,000th of wow's subs? so part of one server from wow come play and that's equal to the population of df.. .but it's the wow folks whining and ruining the game.
this is the opinion/logic that ruins good posts. many of us have said "i have fun" or "i had fun" playing darkfall... but that caveat is that you can have fun playing ms. pacman... doesn't mean ms. pacman is revolutionary, next gen, or well done (in comparison to current contemporaries.)
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?

I was talking about Darth flaming WSImike in that thread.
The first person to go off topic and flame someone was a fan of DFO.
While people are talking about the haters needing to be segregated you've got fans that post here that do exactly what some want the haters segregated for.
It's a two way street.
The fans aren't any better or dif. then the haters.
Just like someone is bound to flame in a thead dedicated to a fan discussion, a fan would flame in a thead dedicated to a hater discussion. In fact:
http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/238719/Darkfall-Haters.html
Theres' proof.
Isn't this thread just one big troll? I think it should be locked and the thread creator given a temp ban.
The one and only.
Oh my bad, already had that window open but only the first 2 post were showing so figured it was the first post after OP that you were talking about.
In the thread you showed up, the OP had the intention to flame from the beginning but I do understand what you mean.It's the Troll vs. Fanboi war anyway. Just would be more enjoyable if the forum had.....less.
Then again, you can see a small war with Aion fans vs. WoW fans "will Aion become the WoW killer" and the likes but it's definitively not as major as DarkFall and neither of these 2 games have had this massive controversy (WoW and Aion) but can this controversy really be the excuse for flaming? Especially those who plan to join Mortal Online, is there a need to keep going?

I personally find the game to be pretty bad, but I do my best to not get involved in a thread that is actually a discussion by fans.
On the other hand, I don't have a problem pointing out things that a fan might say that isn't true, or an attempt to just hype the game. I'm not ashamed to admit that I would recommend people no pay for this game, it's not worth it. That's not to say it doesn't provide any fun, it's just not worth the almost 60 dollars and AAA subscription fee. It's barely an MMO IMO. More like a massive Team fortress.
I'm considered a hater, it doesn't bother me, but I do try my best to be civil and at least try and have an intelligent conversation and not go to far off topic if I can help it.
I think the fans need to just use the block option for those people they don't want to be bothered by and go about thier business. No need for forum segregation, you're already given the power to segregate those you don't want to engage in a discussion with by simply clicking block.
I think what the root of it is for some is that they want a place to be able to hype the game without others giving the counter view. I don't agree with that. If someone can attempt to convince people to play the game, I'll take the time to convince them there are better alternatives and more value for thier dollar out there.

for hater to use these thread for hating DF
-----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)
Here's a good example.
A fan,
He starts off by calling someone a retard and a window licker after starting a thread in wich he states he wants "haters" to be segregated to a thread where they can't post any place else.
A fan,
Instulting people because they have an opinion counter to his, and he doesn't like it.
Isn't this what he's "crudading" against.
Or maybe he doesn't understand what a hater really is. Cause the post I quoted, is a clear indication of a hater. He's not directing it towards a game, but he's def. hating.
Or let me be more basic. The OP is no better then some of the haters he rages against.
People do come here to talk about DFO.
Not everyone comes here to talk about only the things you want though. This isn't fast3ddy'sMMORPG.com. No one's obligated to only have the conversations you want to have, unless you start the thread; and no one's obligated to only share your opinion.
Rightious crusade?
What do you call your post?
You're crusading right now, and what you'd like is a place were you can crusade for DFO without someone coming in and giving a counter view.
How about I just be blunt.
You're a hypocrit. You rage against others for doing what you're doing, just with a apposing opinion.
PS: USE THE FIGGIN BLOCK OPTION.
PPS: The game cost me almost 60 dollars, not 40. And I am on a crusade to prevent people from wasting thier money. Get over it, get used to it.
Good to see that after he blocked me, someone else was there to show him his hypocritcal idiocy. He'll have his wish soon when he blocks everyone who happens to disagree with him.
So to summarize this thread,
OP states that the DF general discussion board needs a thread for all the haters of darkfall, because he finds it annoying to have to read all the lies and hate speech in every thread when really he just wants to use a fan site to be a fan of the game.
That made people angry, arrrggg. Lies and negative opinions need to litter every thread so the haters of darkfall don't feel censored for their opinions, because their; negative, uninformed, misplaced, untruthful opinions’ is really just to protect people from playing darkfall.
Thank you so much for taking time out of your lives to try to ruin this game which you hate, cause if you hate it, everyone has to hate it, because your opinions’ are sooo important to everyone here.
You ever think that maybe the people reading these boards don't want your negative opinions (mostly just lies). It’s not about your right to say them; it’s about your point in saying them. I even say in my OP, criticism is good; hating darkfall is fine, but pumping up darkfall hate rhetoric? What the hell is the point in that?
I know what it is, you’re all just angry, your expectations got the best of you, and you spent forty dollars which I guess is allot of money for some people. So now to get back at Darkfall you flame the boards. Awesome job guys, the Darkfall board is a cesspool, gratz. That will teach the darkfall developers to make and try to sell their game. But hey, they deserve it they LIED. Never mind the fact that thousands of people really enjoy Darkfall, want to have discussions on a fan site about it but cant because every thread is hijacked. But that’s okay, that behavior gets defended because Darkfall sucks right? Be blind to the fact that a Darkfall hate campaign has made this board terrible. Fear not sirs, you stand on the side of right, because again it’s about protecting people from the game.
Lets continue this attitude and push it towards other things, let’s go to Star Trek conventions and tell everyone how much Star Trek sucks and is boring, lets scream into a megaphone how much it sucks, you never now maybe there are some people there that are on the fence about star trek, it’s those people that need to be saved. Spin the lies, "Rodenberry is a Racist", "Picard is lie", "Starship Federations are lame", and such. Ruin what other people like because it’s your opinion that is important, right.
And a special shoat out to who ever reported me, I got a warning from the mods, maybe cause I used the word "retarded", I guess I can't write any hate speech in a thread filled with people who say hate speech as is has a right to be heard.
Thanks for the warning Mods, do me a favor though and grow pair.
Oh, no I said something derogatory about the mods, somebody stop me, I don't have the right to say THAT opinion do I?
To the post above me..
And you thnk the Fanboys are any better?They have more bs then the trolls do...Last time I looked the road runs both ways.
Edit..Add on
Some people rob you at gun point..Others will rob you at "Ball Point Pen"
Whats the Fanboys BS?
Posting excessive negative comments or baiting others to respond in a negative manner is considered trolling on the MMORPG.com forums.
