Vaporware is when a team of semi talented game developers get everyone hyped up for a game there abilitys are unable to create.
Though they try, and stay optimistic, in the end they are unable to make a functioning game that will keep people playing. When they relize this it vanishs. Like a Cloud of Water Molecules trying to come together to make rain, but in the end all they can achieve is Vapor.
FYI, Mourning is a Good example of this. Not everyone that goes to school for X years to make games has the intelligence to do so. Many of these newer MMO's are people fresh outta college who had a dream of being a Game Makers while they sat in there rooms playing Mario.
Ambition will only get you so far, Eventually you need intelligence. Knowledge will only get you so far in the end you need intelligence.
- Open Unrestricted PvP - Skill Based System instead of Level/Grind - City Development/Sieges/ - Largest Online World (Not sure but that's what Devs stated) - Ships, Mounts, Caravans - PvP Quests - 100s and 100s of unique skills, spells, and items - Graphics
That's just a small list, for detailed list of features check www.DarkFallOnline.com and for sure check WarCry fansite for detailed FAQ.
I am on board with Darkfall in a huge way. The promise of UO type of gameplay with serious PvP goodness and those amazing graphics, hell who wouldn't be on board? People who use the term Vaporware are just that rare type of cynic who loves to say "See? I told you so! I was saying it all along!"
That rare type of cynic is known as the jerk-off. He/She loves to be right and doesn't love the genre or care about gamers. That person only cares about being right. And the jerk-off will never say that game he/she is waiting for is vaporware. This is only reserved for games he/she doesn't care about.
Now, what kind of a jerk-off wouldn't want to play Darkfall?

Uh, no dude.
You dont seem to understand that the majority of these people have been waiting for close to 4 YEARS with little to nothing in terms of updates and dev interaction. Oh, wait, there was ONE interview.
Uh, no dude. You dont seem to understand that the majority of these people have been waiting for close to 4 YEARS with little to nothing in terms of updates and dev interaction. Oh, wait, there was ONE interview.
The devs have done plenty of interaction and updates Gam, they have just been quiet recently and you haven't been around long. Last year they were in IRC chatting with the players all the time. Now they are focusing on working on the game. So chill out.
First of all Preston, you dont know shit about me, nor about what I do. So dont get all high and mighty with this "you havent been here all that long". Oh noes, I just registered on mmmorpg.com, so that must have been my first day of gaming and forum trolling right? Idiot.
THIS GAME IS VAPORWARE PRESTON, AND IM SORRY YOU ARE TOO BUSY LICKING THE DEV'S MAGICAL BALLSACKS TO REALIZE THIS.

I was not referring to your general gaming experience.
Combined with the fact that you stated in your previous post that others have been waiting for 4 years indicated that you haven't been waiting that long. People who have been around a long time have patience and get annoyed with people who complain about updates and such after only waiting a month.
My point was simply that if you were around last year you would've seen all the communication, dev chats, new info and the new website, etc... I think their last interview update in May was pretty damn clear. They are busy as hell and don't want to release more info until their next development milestone.
My suggestion is to just play another game and forget about Darkfall. If you see it release someday and still want to give it a try, go for it. If not, don't waste your time posting about a game you don't care about.
A game not released but ive watched for a long time. I hope it comes out and stomps the crap out of all the bs mmo devs have been shoveling at us. I hated eq and hate all eq clones. This game closely resembles uo and shadowbane my 2 fav mmos of all time. You morons dont scream vaporware. Go play wow with the rest of the kiddies and leave this forum alone.
I would MUCH rather wait 4 years for a game to come out finished, than to wait 1 year to play a buggy crash-fest. I only got on the bandwagon with this game about a month ago, but I won't lose hope. The game shows great promise! And it looks freaktastic

If it's vapoware as you speak, then what the hell are you doing here? You keep posting here, which means you actually monitor these forums. If you wouldn't care about it, you wouldn't come here.
If you keep posting here, it'll mean you are monitoring game, therefore having some sort of faith in it. If you have some sort of faith in it, it means you are awaiting it, which means you don't consider it vapoware.
If you want to show that you really believe it's vapoware, quit posting here.
This thing will never come out... too bad because it sounded cool.
If it does ever come, it'd be like the Atari trying to release a game after the Playstation had already arrived.... I'm sure it will look terribly dated by the time it gets released (in the year 2025).

If you're worried about graphics this game is probably too hardcore for you. Claus stated in IRC last week that Darkfall aims for smooth playability and speed over graphics. Really, if it is graphics you're after you should play another game.
I'm curious as to why people claiming "vaporware" bother coming to these forums. I suppose it's due to one of two reasons: 1> Stupidity 2> Retardation. *shrug* I'm open to any other suggestions though, as I'm sure there is an unlimited supply of moronic (in)justifications for the trolling.
Ok so all these people are worried about this game turning to dust, and I have something very reasonable to say to that.
Shut up
Blizzard has released so many games past their due date that turned out to be awsome. Along with many other companies. Why? Because they dont want it to be like SWG, with constant balancing and un balancing, ect. DF is goana own every game out their when people realize that just because it may not have the best graphics, it will be the most Open MMO out for a long time. This game will own and I suggest we all be patient and wait to play it because it.....will own
I cant wait to be a lone wolf mage (will be hard but possible) and sneak up and frag some newbs!

Yes you're a troll, now go away from the DF forums forever if you are just here to troll.
Just take a look at what the devs aim for and you'll realize that such a game they're developing is not an easy task and they'll probaly take all the time in the world to try develop this game to their fullest abilities or fail trying atleast but I believe in them and hope this game will be released or the MMORPG genre will be doomed forever.

I agree with you when you said that "hope this game will be released or the MMORPG genre will be doomed forever". We really need a new gameplay. Thanks.
But, i feel this game is overhyped and probably will not make it to the market. Even if it does, reality will dawn on many when they realise the developers arent capable to produce what they promised.
Check out the trailer and you will know what i mean. Seriously, do it.
This game looks really promising, what I like are things like racial wars, racial spells and a great variety of spells and skills.
If they pull this one off, it will probably become a legend.
It feels nice to have somewhere else to go in case DNL turns out ugly

Man, this is such a shame. This thread is years old.
I got all hyped up hearing about the game only to find it's a perma-dev.
I hope they get the ball rolling because it sounds perfect for me. I don't care a bit about graphics, I'm happy with old style as long as the game play is there.
