    long ago.

    begging for players in game now

    the promises and hype is heating up however but the promises are those of the " to be implemented months after release" type. Still the same......

    Depends who you ask

    For example if you ask an unnamed person on the DnL forums


    I think there will be 50k+ ppl at the public release, pionner gonna get on 2 days prior release to the public, to go on from what I heard from ppl I know all over in WoW, EQ2, SWG, etc. there will be noticable migration, so I'm rather worried about NP3 being ready for the masses of ppl who will want to play in the first few weeks, months. If I was a dev I would make sure the cluster can handle at least 100k ppl at once online at the release date.


    I say it will flop on April 27th ;)

    We will see what will happen.

    It realy depends if they can survive with cca 30-50K subscibers ( not councurent players ).

    They are small company like CCP ( eve online ) which strugle for first year to get subscribers, even now when they break all councurnet players at one server (25K) they have around 100K subscribers.

    Farlan could made a bunch of money even with SoG couse the everyting about DnL was hyped over the top. If they released "crapy" SoG az November Iam shure that they would sell at least 30K accounts if first month, regardles of complains etc...

    Personaly I realy hope this game will survive even when Iam 90% shure that it will have hard release with lots of bugs and crashes for at least first month or two. 

    I curently play SoG mybe for two or three hours per week ( just one or mbye two events ) and decided to try other MMOs till DnL is released.

    I played RF Online for 3 days and hate it ( there were a lot of promisses on the box, but imo that game is pure crap = grind/pot fest )

    For last week Iam playing EQ2 and I hope i will have fun with it for at those 30 days till DnL release.
    EQ2 its not either my type of MMO and I have a bad feeling i will get bored after a week or two.
    ( its too much straight forward for my taste, you dont have any influance on your character or world, and all I see are clones of same chars, however my coworkers like it  )

    30 to 50 K ?????? Hahahhahhahhahah more like 30-50 subscribers and that's counting the devs themselves. Ok realistically maybe 300 - 500 but that is even stretching it. They can't even give the damn game away right now, let alone find 1000 people willing to pay for it and charge a monthly fee.

    I doubt they will get any more subscribers other than the ones that pre-ordered.

    Everyone is smart enough to stay away and wait

    I have to agree with you here Jackdog.  SoG started with 30,000 people (8.8k paid, 10k free, 5k refunded and  resold,  5k transferred beta testers, 1-2k new lottery losers).  Out of that 30k only  about 100 are left. 29,900 out of 30,000 refuse to play this game even for free.  Why would anyone in their right mind think anyone would pay money to play this game.  Out of that 100 almost all are only playing because they have been deluded into thinking SoG is something different than DnL.  When the game is released and the reality hits them that they are paying to play the worst game ever released in terms of not only gameplay but content, they will run away to Darkfall or whatever is the next failing game they will hype to be their savior.

    How many more suckers are there out there willing to pay money to play this game.  I would bet almost none.  Rf Online was just released and is a very bad game but its a 1000 times better than DnL.  Shadowbane was released 4 years ago and is now free and in 10,000 times a better game than DnL.  There is no way this game will ever have more than 5,000 subscribers after the intial 30 days runs out.  If we learned anything from SoG we learned that their much hyped one world server cannot hold more than 500 people logged onto it at once.  If by chance they ever got 5,000 subscribers they wouldn't be able to play.  People are stupid as we can see by reading the official DnL forums but they are not stupid enough to pay for something this bad.

    As you have said many times this is a dead game walking.  It just needs to have the dirt thrown over the top of it.  Release will be this games last rites.

    Yeah this is what I expected for responces, seriously this mmorpg went straight to the SHITTER I logged into SoG TRIED to have fun but coulden't it simply sucks. Now on the dev's WTF is their deal? There was SO much hype, so many people were looking forward to this.. it could have been a huge money maker but their lack of communication, idiotic responces, and just plain stupidity caused ALOT of damage.. and their mmorpg just plain SUCKS good luck fanbois on grasping onto the last leg.

    DnL reminds me of that episode of Seinfeld where Kramer and the car salesman see how far the SAAB can run on Empty until it finally really runs out of gas.  That's pretty much like this game now... it's only a matter of time.

    Another post from lala land


    I think we're gonna need more than 2 servers if this game gets as big as WoW...
    I remember reading somewhere that the servers are sposed to hold 50,000 people, And WoW has some odd number million. How many people from there are gonna come here because there bored with doing the same things over and over again? And then will asians come folloing them to the western server so they can sell their goth, toons, and such on Ebay?


    They don't get that everyone else thinks DnL is a huge joke

    Dark and Light flopped ages ago.  People just don't know it yet...

    Edit:  Speaking of which, maybe I should edit my signature...
