TO OP a bit late:
That screenshot is super cool. Wish I had the time to do real life and DF.
Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.
Please do not respond to me
This thead wins most painful Darkfall thread of the week award.
Come on fanboys... the game is niche. There is no point pretending there is loads of you playing. Especially, since half of you have blatently left because AVs well known poor reputation. Now ok there might be about 'six' of you left... but hell least you having a good time and staying out of my current MMO. All I can say is... good luck AV with making a profit out of your turd. Mind you they always have double charging to fall back on.
And there are several other videos out there showing easily hundreds of players fighting. I have heard and read many conflicting things both good and bad about Darkfall but its ability to host large scale battles is indisputable.
So, out of the blue, suddenly, miraculous, as a grace of god, a small indie inexperience development team with small budget, with trouble updating its web, with trouble avoiding double charging, with troubles fixing this and that, somehow, this company has a technology to host large scale battle that the multi-billion big companies cannot master?
What other fairy tales do you have? Its bedtime for my kids. I need some more.
The only fairy tale is to believe a "big company" would care about its game. Look at WAR, AoC, WoW.....there is a reason why thay are made it in the easiest way possible. Classes and levels in a static world. Are you in the belive that there is a technology question involved that decision????
Its because its easy. If Blizzard wanted to, there could be 400 vs 400 PvP battles in WoW to. But they choose to not do it.
I think this is one of the most important questions today. The question why we see MMOs decline so fast.
"How come DF have big scale PvP battles and not WoW??" Most beople get angry with Aventurine for this, instead of Blizzard.
You really have a poor sense of management. Is it necessary to adopt the most expensive, risky and least tried out technology, just to .. what? Wave Epeen? A game that allows 60000 x 60000 pvp is really a good game? Try fill the ranks of 60000 before you start the pvp.
In the past WoW have 40man raid. What happens? Its damn hard to find 40 guys with the right amount of free time and willingness to go down to AQ and wipe for 10 hours.
Make it 5man or 10man runs, suddenly, its so much easier, comfortable.
WoW does not do what DF does, that is b/c it is not the way Blizz wants it done. It is also technically tougher to implement all those graphics and other lovely bells and whistles in such a setting. Add the compliexity of different hardware combo, bugs in drivers, ... . That is good judgment, not hardcore softcore whatever bullshit terms you want to throw around pretending you yourself to be better or bigger. At the end Blizz delivers the game people play and enjoy. DF delivers a game people have to turn off all the effects just to play without zero fps or getting disconnected.
Is it a fairy tale that big companies care about their game? I know for one fact that Blizz has a very high reputation among credit card operators, while AV is simply the top blacklisted company. That tells the priority of the 2 companies. That tells the company ethics. There is no technology difficulties required to keep the website updated, to avoid double charging. There is no difficulties being honest. AV fails. So if you want to talk about companies caring about their game, their business, use AV as a counter example, use DF as the example of total failure.
If you think MMO is declining very fast, go get help. Or education. The annual turnover of MMOs has already exceed hollywood. It is growing by double digit annual, compound, forever. It is growing despite the 2 economic downturns this decade. No other business has that kind of growth. The only thing declining is your ability to comprehend or face up to reality.
Oh yeah you can define anything with reference to yourself. What you do not like is bad. What you do not like is declining. Surely, use your own language and talk to yourself. You can define the sky as green in color, and leaves and trees to be purple in color. That only changed the words used by you, that does not change the world. Head in the sand?
Can you please post a current screenshot of your favorite MMO showing at least the same amount of players like shown in screenshot provided by OP.
thanks
Anytime I log onto dalaran during evenings there are more people in every angle I can see, than shown in that pathetic little picture.
Whenever we have WG, there are more people outside VoA ready to zone in. This does not include the people already zoned in.
Interesting fact, couple days ago, WoW announced their intention to reset the instance server. Everyone in an instance need to zone out for a minute. Suddenly hundreds are found outside every instance. There are 10s of activelty played instance. Everyone of them have hundreds of people waiting to reenter.
If you want to talk about number of players, use DF as an example of total failure. Any dying game has more people playing. EQ, FF, UO name any good old games. They have far more people playing than DF, server for server.

This thread is stupid, even for the DF forums, and that's saying a lot. Did someone, somewhere claim # of Xfire players = 100% of the pop?
The topic this thread is a reaction/reply to says :
So yes, someone has brought up x-fire numbers and has put them as absolute.

42 is the answer...someone must have miscounted, or this picture just isn't the right answer...

Someone remind me, because I am getting my super fans confused (and no, not meaning this as an attack), was it Darth or another that once tried to use x-fire numbers as a definitive defense for DFO numbers?
No, it was javac. His math skill was truly amazing
Why i should use x-fire numbers for anything. I support OP and these thread because it ridicules those numbers.
LoL almost half of x-fire totals are just in one DF screenshot showing a litle corner of Agon's massive world (te other half can be almost smelled in the screenshot *chuckles*). LoL
ROFL
with a bit of organisation we can even beat the number and get more folks on a ss then on x-fire totals
ROFL

Darkfall has over 10 thousand concurrent players per game world, and the largest MMORPG battles ever - involving thousands.
If all the conclusive evidence presented so far in the form of the numerous screenshots, videos and player testimonials has not convinced you that this is in fact the case, then check the website if you don't believe me and Tasos, its on the official website so it must be true, as everything on the official website has always been true.
Remember Darkfall is also massive by design so it surely must likewise have a massive amount of players or that would be a serious design flaw, and the Darkfall developers are flawless as many of their friends have repeatedly been telling us for years, so it probably does.
And don't believe Xfire numbers they are lies and mean nothing unless they indicate a rise, optimistic anecdotal unsubstantiated subjective story's about rapidly growing and healthy server populations are all you need to pay attention to unless you are a troll hater.
I detect no sarcasm in that post and I must agree - you are 100% correct.
Darkfall Rocks.

Polarization makes another victim!
Sarcasm "is a form of humor that uses sharp, cutting remarks or language intended to mock, wound, or subject to contempt or ridicule, generally saying the opposite of what the statement really is."
We know what sarcasm is...none of the intention is construcive or for the better, all are destructive having source in hate.

If you feel a post violates the ROC of this site you are free to report it.
Sarcasm can be a bit of a harsh humor though, so I could see why someone who likes DarkFall might be adverse to that kind of humor.

The problem is no one will get banned for sarcasm, because sarcasm is just "form of humor" which let you mask your intention (you mean the opposite of what is there to read) Someone uses sarcasm want to be destructive without in trouble getting banned. Is a coward type of behaviour so to speak.
The counter to sarcasm is to make the intention public.

props to all!

Or...
Perhaps some of us realize this is a GAMING Forum meant for entertainment purposes.
But yeah, for some life might be a bit more serious; so I can see how they might think a form of humor might be so nefarious.

Iiii-iiiiiit's.... me!!! *Hooray*
Seriously guys I'm sure the next expansion and the transfers and boxed version that are hopefully coming very soon will totally change things, not that they need changing because games fine, population is fine, Aventurine are fine, community is fine, everythings fine.
You might think that more people having read this thread then are actually playing at peak time on either of the servers or this forum having more people reading it then Darkfall has subscribers are a bad thing, but it actually shows how much interest their still is in this groundbreaking revolutionary advanced next generation title.
See what Aventurine are doing is slowly working on improving the game until its absolutely perfect then WHAM! they will hit us with the 1 year launch anniversary free trial and will totally blow away all of the 300,000 troll haters that have deserted them with its best game evar awesomeness, then we will all be playing it and holding hands singing kumbaya and weeping about how wrong we were to doubt Aventurine and apologizing for being horrible little troll haters.
Just like Eve Online, Darkfall will grow slowly at first but then rapidly increase its player base and finally start receiving the incredibly positive mainstream press reviews it truly deserves.
The Xfire numbers will prove this, mark my words.
So in closing a heart felt thanks to all the hardcore elite brave patient persistent old school gamers who have kept the faith all these years and fought the good fight to keep the dream alive, your efforts will be rewarded and this game will be the tremendous success we all in are deepest hearts know it is destined to be.
Darkfall will not go quietly into the night, oh no! It will be reborn like a phoenix from these ashes and will rise into internet gaming history as the single most important piece of entertainment software of the 21st century, Aventurine will eventually be acclaimed for their genius, perhaps not in are lifetimes but in some distant more enlightened time.
Please don't give up, keep your subscriptions going and convince as many people as possible you can to keep playing this incredible success by any standards game even though we don't need you anyway this game is obviously not for you go back to WoW.
Well written.
