Delusional OP much?

Giving the game the benefit of the doubt does not mean to preorder it. You can buy it after you try it yourself, listen to a friend's opinion on it, and so on.

And we shouldn't be grateful for Aventurine, we do not owe them jack. They also don't owe us. But this is a business, it's like someone said, they're not in this for charity.

Every game being released out there with a different premise if compared to the titles dominating the market is not on a crusade of self-righteousness to please as most people as possible. Chances are that people want a piece of the pie, because in the MMORPGs case, competing with the mainstream appeals is going to be tough, even more for an indie company.

Get them off  this holy pedestal you've created  and let them prove what's Darkfall themselves.

Yeah yeah we heard it all before, no one agrees with how AV is running this show but despite that they have have every right to run as they see fit and we have every right to not invest.

What kills me is posters maintaining there is no game. Of course there is a game. Testers are in beta and leaks are mixed about the quality of the game.  You can continue to post nonsense if you like but it just makes you silly and biased. A little reason and caution goes a long way.

The OP should probably be ignored, he likely had a nervous breakdown over Dark & Light.

Do a post search on him in that section.

Delusional is about right.....

Do you realise how rediculous this statement is?

you were lecturing people on spending money wisely... now you say you would rather spend $50 at a bar getting drunk for a coupel hours, then spending it on a game that may give you a month of entertainment.

 

IMO you have to have some entertainment in your life or its not worth living.

1 night at the bar 50$. I am 99% sure that I am guranteed a good time. 50$ on an MMO granted a lot of play time in a month, but when/if i quit after a month I am leaving pissed off. Like AoC. I would much rather have my 115$ back from AOC (got the CE+1 month sub) and spend 115$ at a bar for 1 night.   When I buy an MMO I plan to play it for a while.

Well then the smart consumer choice would be a bottle of Champagne and a movie at home.  Or if the smart consumer were out with said wife, the bar that had women drinking would still be the choice.

Well there's your problem.

I don't ever "plan" on playing an mmo past its first month. if it hooks me, which only 1 has ever since UO, all the better.

Aye cause at least at a bar when you order a drink you dont get an empty glass and told the drink will be there in 2-6 months.

I will never pre-order a mmo or buy a mmo without a trial run anymore! Have been burned too many times w/ bad releases. If they don't have the money to start a good launch it should never been launched, imo. I don't feel I need to be the first one in, and can wait to hear the reviews and other players have to say before I play another mmo. I want a fun, quality mmo. It shouldn't happen on my dime. If they create a fun mmo, they I'll pay the monthly fee to play it.

I have a feeling Darkfall is not ready for release. Ready for release should be a completed quality game and not when the money runs out. But if they ever have a free trial period, I will try it and go from there.

There not gonne play it anyway so why troll for years the darkfall forums and hope it fails is beyond me.

 

Be glad some devs dare to be different then the evequest model, and evolve from games like UO and AC.

Nobody force you to follow or play this game.


 

Believe me, I love the IDEA behind Darkfall.  I'll be happy for them when it comes out and IF it delivers on its promises.  I just wish they wen't about the creation process in even a SLIGHTLY professional manner.

No, I'm definitely not excited for another WoW clone, tyvm.

Wow already 12 pages, what a succesfull troll.

ps : I always wondered why only the "haters" are usually called "trolls" when fanboys tend to be the best at this forum sport.

Ohhhhhh I am waiting. And I will be waiting a month or so longer than  those who get in on release date . Like all others I do hope it's good, I hope it works as intended. If it does then I will be buying DF, and go in and start up my Alfar character.

If Jonyak bothered to read it in context with the post I was quoting it would have been more apparent.

It only costs a few dollars and you get to actually play the game when it finally releases after all this time.

It would be stupid not to preorder. It's your right not to. But, I definitely don't recommend it.

besides. if you pre-order you also give them more money so they can set up more servers, run the game for a longer time if it turns out to get into difficulties.

You even get to play the game for like a week or so prior to the release. I think that's pretty neat.

 

But, hey!.. If you don't preorder it just means that somebody else will. :) I know I will preorder within the first hour of those news. If I see it. I hope I do. .. I just wanna get in and give this game a chance. 

 

No matter what happends with Darkfall, it's still the most daring and visionary game out there. I think we all deserve to give it a real chance and treat it well. Cause we've been bitching for years and we keep complaining. Now Darkfall is coming around to save us. Finally. .. let's show some gratitude.

 

I know I will.

Be a smarter consumer.

 

I appreciate your opinion, but I will NOT be Preordering this (if it even comes out).

This has to be a troll post because I refuse to believe that someone could be this stupid.

OP is saying a smart consumer just buys a product without knowing anything about it?

If that is smart then what is dumb? Reading reviews and then buying?

I think it was more of a smart @SS thread to make fun of  "Be a smart consumer", which told consumers not to pre-order.

It got locked, probably because it had a gameplay video of darkfall linked into it. the last comment lol.

He is not a troll... well... kinda.  He is the person defending DnL until recently (and I think he still does).

Now, he is in love with DFO.
