And they need that for several years? o.O
Sorry, not a reason.
But hey, I'm patient. I'm sure we'll get something this month. be it an announcement or even release. I'll be happy to see where it goes. |

Substance? Yeah. We got one number, and a vague one at that and the promise of another announcement, also in vague terms. Lucky for us, he already committed to 2008, so he is under much more pressure than during the last years when he could always say that no specific dates were ever given.
Other than that, this interview is just tasos telling everyone that Aventurine is doing things right and everyone else is doing them wrong, and Aventurine is much better than anyone else, period.
Edit: "It's so easy being a skeptic." <- This one made me laugh. The truth is, it's easy not believing anything...just as it's easy to believe -everything-.
It's trying to sort out the truth from the lies that's difficult. *smirk*
well yea so? its almost true in some ways. lets see if it really works |

uhm... no? It's not an age of Conan screenshot, it's here (http://www.darkfallonline.com/gallery/visuals/dc_01) in the official darkfall gallery to find :)
Well, it SAYS it's an Age of Conan shot when you mouse over it, which is what Guillermo197 was pointing out that you apparently missed. |

I live in Europe, and have done so for the most part of my life. And no, his attitude is not something that you would expect from someone in his position. But maybe he's convinced that DF can survive on the current community alone. At the rate he and his "followers" are shooing others away, that'll be the way things turn out anyway. |

If Tasos is sure he can deliver what he promised, then yes, he is right: Aventurine is doing it in a better way - actually testing the game before releasing it. |

It sounds like honesty. I don't know how people can say he is being an ego maniac or too defensive when he is faced with questions like "so, people have called your game vaporware, how do you respond?". Give me a break. In fact, that is a very disrespectful question to ask if you want to conduct a serious interview. The interview was hostile and asked very little about the game itself. Despite that, Tasos was able to respond logically. Don't know about most people, but I'd prefer that larger companies would also adopt the Darkfall method of monetary allotment. Most of them spend too damn much on advertisement and damn near all of it turns out to be bull. You want real vaporware? Check out Warhammer online. Age of Conan. They promised many things and delivered someone completely different. In light of that, I simply do not understand the criticisms many people are throwing out there atm.

well, it doesn't say so for me, but I'll just believe you that it does. Anyway, even if it says so, it's not true since the screenshot is definitly a darkfall one. Thanks for mistaking darkfall's graphics with age of conans though :) - the graphics are the only thing AoC got right. |

MMORPG.COM "haters" and "trolls" make Tasos angry. Break through "thick skin". Tasos show them! TASOS SMASH!! |

Talk about a missed opportunity. They sit down (or email or whatever) for an interview and this is all that comes out of it? Basically he says the same as always: soon And I agree with some posters here, he is arrogant and not one I would really like to buy anything from..
I don't believe there is a game and IF, that's a big IF there was a game, I think it is being mishandled to death... ____________________________ |

He can gloat -after- the game releases and is a success (by that I do not mean racking up WoW type numbers, but gaining a growing community and supporting itself when all's said and done). Gloating now, when everything is still up in the air just makes him appear like an a$$.
Let's face it, he hasn't proven anything yet. Acting like he has is not a good way to endear yourself to future players. *shrugs* But read my post above regarding that.
Anyway, I'm happy. It's finally a decisive month for DF. Looking forward to playing the game at long last and finding out just how much substance there is to this whole thing. |

Don't let the door hit you on the way out! Good interview, looking forward to news in the next couple days. I liked the way he answered his questions. Apologies for hurting your feelings there Nancy!

The trash talkers here just don't deserve it. Is it that long since i posted here!!!! Well done Aventuring and well done Tasos you made the interviewer look a little pathetic. stand your corner and what you believe in for these reasons DFO will be great. And well said Kal'Theo

Right. Except for since the 17minutes gameplay video came out a few months ago, the numbers of darkfall forum members has quadruplicated. |

Who cares if the game is good right? But I think he is referring to the fact that so many ppl hate on DF...so can you blame him being a little uppiddy Plus everyone who has met him say he is a swell guy |

Errr. Right. So believing everything is not easy? Right. Being a person who questions nothing is a difficult task in life?
Wow....I wish I could live in your world. |

Hey John Wood, Why don't you put Darkfall in your scrolling features on the front of MMORPG.com? Currently one of the games is "Wizard 101" but yet Darkfall is not up there. Please! You have a ground breaking game/interview not being mentioned while most of the games on the front page are franchise games and other randoms offering nothing new other than a different color on the same vanilla MMO. |

Oh and the questions were really... biased...
The length of time that this game has been in development have led some to speculate that this game is vapourware, can you speak to that point?
What do they think he'd answer? They should ask him questions about the game and stop badmouthing. If they don't believe the game's going to come out - fine, then don't bother interviewing. |

The only one looking pathetic is the one praising his unreleased game as the Second coming and acting like an ass to the interviewer. He didn't want to do the interview with the big bad mmorpg.com meanies, he didn't have to. While it was not what I was looking forward to, there was nothing wrong with the interviewer or his questions. |

What part of Europe? England? lol... Anyway, I agree with you that some of the people on the forums are very abrasive. I've been following the game for quite some time and have been flamed to a crisp for a suggestion that I don't think most people even understood. On the other hand, I think that people are banned and/or suspended for extreme hate and flaming. Also, if you want to get a feel for the game, post in the newbie forum. The Advanced forum is for people who have waited long for the game and many of the most vocal have very little patience. In any case though, many of the people who go to the DF forums expect to change the game into EQIII or WoWII. They are quickly dealt with and they should be. Try suggesting on the WoW forums that you should be able to loot your opponents gear. They will also flame you. I think the real problem is that people who go to the DF forums thinking in terms of past mmos are shocked to find that their comfort zone is just not there. Try not to go there seeking what you have known before. Instead, keep an open mind, post in the appropriate forums, and you should be just fine. |
