Some gems from his Reddit thread:
"Unfortunately the company seemed oblivious to any of my efforts and inquiries to fix the huge staff & organizational issues."
"It seems to me they want to close it down, but then I might be wrong."
"Well, the company had many problems regarding its staff and many organizatonal problems which was unwilling to fix."
"The company doesn't seem to be interested in Darkfall though.
I've repeatedly asked the company to fix its many staff and organizational problems, and I never got an answer."

RIP DFUW though unless a company buys it.

Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
-full loot
-fps combat
-DFO skill gain
-wipes
-has competent developers behind it
-Shadowbane backing (do I really need to say more?)
Evolve or quit gaming IMO.
Darkfall and AV are going to sink well before licensing of DFO happens. A dupe that's been active forever is now out in the open and they don't have the team to patch it. They can ban and are doing so now but that doesn't stop the dupe.
Rise of agon or Darkfall new dawn.

In 8 months the Crowfall developers made a "Dirty Bomb" style lab test setting (no NDA and testing combat FIRST unlike all other MMO's "pre-alpha"). Imagine what they will have when they get into Beta and have the MMO side in testing.
AV is backed by shady financing (drug dealers) and has an "I don't care about DF" attitude as a company. They don't even have a full time programmer anymore! Last patch was XML edits and it will be a long time before anything gets added that requires programming. On the flip side Crowfall has a dream team of developers with actual funding behind them. They have a test product out in record time and are being transparent as a company. Who is worth backing? AV or ACE? Also, these spin offs from player run companies will never be DFO. DFO is long gone and you will be disappointing again and again.
Crowfall is the future. End of story.
darkfall will arrise.. hopefully sooner then i hope..
besides that.. crowfall will never even come close to the fps combat darkfall had to offer.( not talking uw here)

'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'

Crowfall will have "servers like DF" where there is full loot. They take it a step further where you can lose your character to another player (corpse looting). That is a little more hardcore than Darkfall will ever be if you don't count the faction servers, guild war servers, and the art style. Crowfall has a little bit for everyone (I do miss DAoC style 3 ways myself).
