Wasn't changed to a Euro only release, this has always been a possibility.They were wanting a NA and Euro launch to happen at the same time but they informed us that this may not happen. Those that actually read up on the game know this. DarkFall's Closed Beta testing (Yes there are players in lol don't have an exact number all we know is they are in the hunbdreds) plods on past the early December mark.................Those that actually read up on the game know this.
Distribution as said by Aventurine will be in the form of Box sales and Digital download. Those that have actually read up on the game know this.

A trial period before launch is promised for the persons who wanna try out.
No. No trial is promised. the HOPE to let you try it out before you buy. Good try though.. Currently playing Real Life.. http://i36.tinypic.com/2uyod3k.gif For all your stalking needs.. |

Who are they being held accountable by? Those that wasted all that money on pre-orders? Those that paid to ge into beta? Ahhh you must mean those that paid for CE's? What? No one has paid yet? And in case you decide to say they can be held accountable by there investors............... how about you let them deal with it then lol. |

When you want to sell something to people, you have to be accountable to them. Duh. Dickin around the way they have, in conjuction with all the double talk and infered releases and betas. All I have to say is: "Wheres the $&%(#*$ beef?" |

Well, lets hope they follow through with what they wanted to do and show us the beef before we buy it. Until they fail on that then I really can't see much of any of your points being valid arguements for the simple fact there's always that free trial hanging above your head. "If" people get to try before they buy do you really think anyone is going to take your speculations seriously? I know call me on the "If" and that they Hope to give everyone a free trial. I know the free trial isn't a promise, however if they are smart they will follow through with it. Me and many others won't be buying it at launch without it. Your not that has been burned by MMO releases. Just seem to be one of the few so jaded you can only see fail now instead of potential. |

1 month? That just beyond stupid. Darkfall has been failing to meet announced development dates for years. This latest date is nothing more than a dart thown at a barn after the most recent failure. There's not a shred of evidence that anything will happen on January 23rd. AoC and WAR both pushed back and delayed due to tester feedback during large public betas. Darkfall has yet to do anything but Alpha testing. Hundreds of testers involved amounts to only about 50 players online at any given time. -Myth- |

If the game releases on Jan 22 feature complete with the hundreds of skills and other planned mechanics balanced to the point to make the game at least playable, then the Averntine team should be hailed as genuises. Implementing everything they have planned without an extensive open beta period to properly vet it all out would be truly amazing. As has been mentioned before, people (lots of them), are the best way to root out the problems in your design. They seem to be not taking this approach. Somehow, though, I don't think we will be calling them "genuises" after the 22nd. I wish them the best of luck in this and truly hope they can pull it off.

it will still be here, a battle of what "Feature complete" actually means one side defending the lack of some of the previously mentioned features while the other state they were lied to about the features. |

I think those that think this forum will be "normal" after release didn't spend much time in the Vanguard, PotBS, AoC, or WAR forums before release and the months afterward.
Vanguard's forums have returned to a mostly "normal" forums now, but it was many, many months afterwards before that happened.
The only way that the forum would be "normal" after release is if 100% of the people that tried it after release loved it and found all the features they were expecting to be 100% complete and to their expectations. Now while it's true that there is a possibility that the above statement may indeed happen... I would be more surprised by that happening than my wife giving birth to a 5-headed hydra. |

It works both way though. Given the checkered past and total atomsphere of mistrust regarding this development, failing to have an open beta will result in many not willing to blindly pay for another potential Dark and Light. I think it's a good bet that Darkfall will have a 1 to 2 week open trial prior to release and allow players to keep their characters. Even if performance initially sucks players will be more likely to pay to keep their head start and continue to play with those they've forged alliances with to early on control server areas. -Myth- |
