sounds like someone has a mancrush

Tasos is the sole person that people have come to associate with the game Darkfall(and rightfully so, he's one of the very few who has vaguely spoken on it's status and features). I find it interesting that when something negative about Darkfall arises it's "f*&$ing Tasos! I hate him, where's my betacake!". That is the normal response. Which is understandable, he's basically the only one who has been in contact with the community.

He's more than just a man, he *is* Darkfall! He is a semi-mythical figure. This thread is basically dedicated to finding out more about this living legend: his past,present, and his future...which I'm sure will be bright!

What would you do if you saw him in person? What would you ask him?

Your thoughts please.
 

I think more than a Mancrush,

sheesh  are you ok?  a "semi mythiical figure"?    you my friend need to leave your house right now... Get out and go down the shop or something, find a girl, or the way you talk about Tasos find a guy just dont sit at your pc as you have clearly lost the plot . its a GAME and he is a GUY, thats all..
 

Hope this helps ya mental stability

a "semi mythiical figure" - LMFAO!

You fail at sarcasm detection. Please turn in your radar. What's even sadder is, if you look at post #13, he even said it was sarcasm, and you still didn't get it.

All tho he doing a great job, for me its Claus LD and his team of razorwax the developers who i admire for there vision and dream game called Darkfall:)

Wait....what?!

Respect for the devs hard work? Sure....but Tasos and great job in the same sentence? 

You know, I really doubt ass kissing on mmorpg.com is going to get you a beta slot.  Stop...just...stop.

If I was Tasos I would hire people to come on the forums and forum flame the flamers

Well if you all want to see the real face of DFO here is a picture of St. Tasos Flambouras.

Got the picture from a profile he has on NABUUR, says hes a game developer from Greece so I doubt its not really him.

Here is his profile....

http://www.nabuur.com/en/user/tasos/profile

The above poster had noted a fella named Claus

The following link is to an early interview with Razorwax

I seem to remember they had some rough times then too.

Thanks for the link! I had seen a few statements made by Claus Grovdal before but nothing near as much as this.  His comments on how Darkfall will be an earth-shattering epic game are almost as good as Tasos's.

One thing I found funny was  when they were talking about the system requirements for their 2003 release of Darkfall:

Kjetil Helland: For good game performance, you should have a PIII-800 and a GeForce1-2 or ATI Radeon. The game engine will also take advantage of the latest graphics cards that are coming out, like the GeForce3 or the upcoming ATI 8500. So if you have one of those, then the game will look stunning.

So on the PCs of today this game is going to run as smooth as silk!

Tasos is Smedley.

Nothing more has to be said.

I'm in no way saying that the conduct of Aventurine is acceptable...but in all honesty I somewhat do feel sorry for him and this grave he has dug for himself...ok not really.

But seriously though this man has a future in some form of bullshiting job!

Because Aventurine has an obligation to give you information?  Do you own stock?  Did you buy something?

They can do what they want.  It's their game, their development, their launch.

Are there game servers up yet ? anyone playing it ?

Does it make sense to neglect the people who are going to pay for the game they have worked on for years? It's their game, their development, their launch.. but its our money. I wouldn't go buy a car if all the information I had on it was the name and a few released pictures, I would need to check out the car for myself, do tons of research on it,  and in most cases, test drive it.

You can say all you want about how much information Aventurine has to provide to their future players... but giving them no information does the exact opposite of what every game company strives for.. to make money. And if you think Aventurine's goals don't include making money.. you are an idiot.

So obvious, yet so hard to understand for the fanatics.

I still have hope for them.. they will get it one of these days.

I keep seeing words like "neglect, apprehension, lies, stunts, broken promises".  It's a game, not your boyfriend.
 

It's not a matter of whether it makes sense.  You shouldn't care.  You dont' fail if the  game fails.  You don't lose money if the game fails.  You don't have a single vested interest in this game.

Do you get pissy when a new car is unveiled at a concept car show but you can't drive it, it isn't priced yet, or a production date isn't set?  You don't have the details on standard equipment and/or options available?  No, you wait for the car to be 'released'; then you shop/research.

I'm sure they want to make money but who's the idiot here?  I'm not the one getting emotionally involved in a video game release.  I saw a game.  I like the concepts and features.  I wait for launch.  I don't feel 'neglected'.  I don't need my 'apprehension' soothed by people 1000s of miles away who probably have better things to do.  I don't feel 'betrayed'.  I am not crying about 'broken promises'. 

As I've posted before, you skeptics aren't skeptics; you are just lacking in quality hugs from your boyfriends.

LMAO! thats a funny post, you relate everything to emo...thats telling. I call a desire for information a desire to be informed. Hell all they need to do is announce DFO will NOT be publically available and people like me trying to get info about the game as it STANDS NOW IN BETA would move along....see how simple that is? Now the way I see it, they are trying to introduce a new game, and wish to profit from this effort...SEE HOW THAT WORKS? Since thats the case, I will not be buying the product until I know more about it,....SEE HOW THAT WORKS?

Bu ya id love to run into you as a consumer, since you seem to base it all on emo, I could sell you all sorts of crap.

Your post would actually mean something if DFO was a concept and not actually scheduled for release. Every MMO strives for big numbers at launch.. Warhammer did, AoC did, WoW did, and I can keep going... no MMO tries to down the hype on their game because its too popular, except DFO. Tasos said that DFO was getting a lot of hype "despite our best efforts," and I'm not making that up.
