In an effort to prevent this turning into a troll vs. fanboi thread, the link above is the latest news from the devs. I will let you draw your own conclusions. (I know it is long, but truncating it would add my opinion of what is important and spark an uneeded argument.) I am a skeptical supporter of DF. I am not a fanboi nor a troll. I seek the truth in every discussion, and I am truly sorry if I mistakenly state a fallacy.

As far as I know, they still claim to be releasing before the end of 2008. This means the game has to go gold in the next five weeks. I won't say it's impossible for them to pull this off, but to take an MMO from internal testing to successful release in a month or so would be the greatest feat of programming I've ever seen.

Kind of exciting in terms of development, waiting to see what happens. I am anxious to see what gets pulled off, or not. Some people only talk sh!t online. I'll talk sh!t online and i'll say it to your face.

Let's just say I'm not holding my breath for a 2008 release. 2009 seems more likely at this point.

Kind of exciting in terms of development, waiting to see what happens. I am anxious to see what gets pulled off, or not. I'm interested in seeing what they produce, because I like the ideas behind the gameplay and feature list. I guess it's "exciting" in one way - Tasos & Co. are finally facing a deadline. If they don't release by the end of the year even the most ardent defenders will become disillusioned at yet another broken promise and delay. If they do release something so soon, it will be a miracle of coding if it isn't in an EXTREMELY beta state. This won't help them much more than a delay, if any. So at least, for many, the time of final reckoning for Darkfall is at hand. I think the odds against the game are very high, meaning they will either have to delay release for at least six months, or release something that is so unready that to ask people to pay for it will be a bigger disaster than never releasing at all.

I wish them the best, but the developers have a long track record of broken promises. My advice? If they don't have an open beta by the end of the year, just write this game off. If they do have an open beta, then we can probably hope for a 2009 release.

Originally posted by Jokerkaaos If they don't release by the end of the year even the most ardent defenders will become disillusioned at yet another broken promise and delay. I disagree with this statement. If Darkfall doesn't release by EOY, then the 'community' will come back with "it'll release when it's ready".. and we'll be led along by the nose. That's what blind faith does.

Lucius, Darkfall moderator	11/11/08 4:02:06 AM#14 Report this post Explain why you are reporting this post: (750 characters max.) The game is already in closed public beta, but I'd be surprised if they release by the end of the year. Obviously Aventurine have a better idea what shape their game is in than I do, but they must have massive faith in the professional testers they've had testing the game since 2007 if they think they can release with a public beta only 2 months long (public beta started in August). Time will tell, but I think the realistic probability will be that Darkfall will be in open public beta by the end of 2008, with release in 2009.

Their use of "private" testers has brought up another interesting point. For a company that is quite small, and has limited resources, can they really have hired enough private testers to fully emulate the full stress the servers are going to be under when it goes live?

No. They never stated how many professional testers they had, but they've said that they've tested 100v100 battles, with players logging on from around the world, and it's ran fine. However, each server has been said to house 10,000 concurrent online players. If I were a betting man, I'd say that they don't have 10,000 professional testers. Just a hunch.
