I never laid the blame squarely on the trolls.. Actually, I pretty much put the whole "troll" problem on the fanboy's themselves.. And yes, there are some fanboys that are just as rediculous as the trolls themselves. Oh boy, I also spelled grammar wrong.. ironic ain't it? But, it still stands true.. The worst on both sides make rediculous claims with poor spelling and grammar (I sooo wanted to use an e). The real problem is most of the more hardcore "fanboys" can't tell the difference between an actual internet troll, and a critic or burned former fan of Darkfall's ideas. But what I said still stands, the more they try to "fight back" against REAL trolls, the worse their troll problem will get. Many of the worst trolls almost always use horrible grammar and spelling, along with leet speak thrown in (but their amateurs, usually from SA or "ebaums") while the most successful trolls go almost unnoticed. But proper trolling seems to be a lost artform as it seems every 12yr old that visited 4chan think they can troll, and/or are actually funny. A talanted troll is, sometimes, a beautiful thing to watch.. But usually, they're so good you don't know that you've been trolled until after you smashed your monitor in a fit of nerdrage.
the blame should be lamed squarely and completely on the darkfall fanbois that have haunted every forum online (that they could find) with darkfall this and darkfall that for about the past year.
a LOT of negative posting people on this forum are a direct result of the idiocy of posting how great darkfall is on other forums, where people really didn't care about darkfall one way or the other. could we please get correspondent writers and moderators, on the eve forum at mmorpg.com, who are well-versed on eve-online and aren't just passersby pushing buttons? pretty please? |

Isn't Brannoc one of the original Devs from Norway where they started writing the draft for this game back in 1995? I have no idea, I thought Darkfall was just a strange collection of odd-looking Europeans with one semi-hot girl. At least the lead devs are, last I heard they had an astounding number (30) of total devs. People say Brannoc is one of the devs so I believe 'em. |

I agree. 'Don't feed the trolls'...lol...and I agree that true trolling is an artform. Sorry about hitting you with the spelling mistake...lol I do it myself more often than I'll admit to. That said it's 'ridiculous'. :) All the fighting has to be taken with a laugh, no matter what side you are fighting on, it's not really doing any harm to the game. It demonstrates that people won't change their opinion based on what trolls say, though I do believe that some of the most ardent fans drive people away. I didn't mean my post to be an attack on you, you just said troll like 50 times so I assumed that you were anti-trolling. You know what assume does...lol These forums are just for fun for me. It's like throwing water balloons at a Christian Youth Rally. No harm is really being done, it's just funny to watch them freak out and start shouting obscenities.

Here is a great one from the past.
01:53 <@Brannoc> I think limited release sales when you're releasing your first ever game is a fairly smart thing to do tbh
Indeed. Indeed.
Nice find Mr B. "20:16 <@Brannoc> in 2005 things were supposed to be all ready and they ran into distribution snags that couldn't be resolved Signus" Still screwed them 3 years later..

No offense taken, a college education and I still can't spell worth a spit.. But it's true, I'm not anti troll.. I've been known to go to young earth creationist websites and spam them with evolution logic.. It's a sick pleasure, but fundies, be it christian or darkfall fanboys, do supply some facepalming replies. I find the whole "troll vs. fanboy" fight hillarious, myself, especially seeing as I've given tips on how to control the troll problem (I feel sorry for some of the more "honest" fans) but that advice has been completely ignored by most for more of a "fire vs fire" approach.. which we've all seen works so great... /sarcasm |

Haha... You haven't ever heard of Trancechat or The Way International have you? I used to troll their forums all the time. Part of me feels bad sometimes because a lot of the people on these forums are just kids and I know they take this stuff a lot more seriously than I do, but I also go out of my way to say something nice to people if I offend them too badly. If I ever actually tried to get some of the fans or trolls on these boards to change their opinions based on logic I'd end up tearing my hair out in frustration. LOL Luckily I don't care enough to allow myself to be drawn into anything that serious. |

The Way International, been there, hehe.. It's true most are very uneducated young kids, but I usually prowl for evolution Vs ID fights already underway. Biology and science has been a pet project of mine for a while, and very rarely does it ever turn into a logical debate, but many of those uneducated "I'm not a monkey lolz" arguments piss me off to no end. Plus, I had a few moronic relatives that are fundies try to campaign for ID in my community.. Lets just say they don't show up for thanksgiving anymore. It's sad I usually try to use logical arguments with notations on my points, but I usually end up getting flamed once I've exhausted their pre-planned arguments, then banned. But I have a whole set of bookmarks, and they usually don't IP ban. |

Hmm, spoken like someone who was not there for UO's release, which was very, very rocky. Lag up the wazoo. Virtually unplayable in the first couple weeks. In fact, PC Gamer trashed it with a 60% conditional review (allowing that it would likely improve if they could fix the lag and balance issues). People have short memories. |

At the Way's site I was known as 'The Apostate', they eventually banned me for comparing Jesus to the easter bunny. Which was surprising as it was by far not the worst thing I had said. Yeah, my family's all fundamentalist so I have to hold my tongue at family gatherings. They're good people, just blinded by their need to have some 'purpose' in being. They mostly just leave me alone. They know how I feel, I know how they feel and we all know that nothing any of us say is going to change the other's outlook. Well it was great to meet someone with an alike veiw on things, but I don't want to derail this thread any further with a personal conversation. Besides which, I am tired as hell...lol Cya around Syyth. |

Factor in the DF element into the equation. I could believe anything about this game, its fanbois and the developers and admins. |

Originally posted by downtoearth Don't think so either, but he is a rabid fanboy. This topic is just him trying to justify why he has been so rabid over the past few months. Reposting a troll post...
Every normal fan would just dismiss such a troll post without even thinking about it. Signus on the other hand gets all worked up about it, enough to make a topic on mmorpg.com instead of playing Darkfall. |

sorry, if this game was super duper great, then why so many posts from the fanboys? repeatedly and over and over again? that one dude kept posting until we pointed out that if he was so in love with the game, he'd be playing the game instead of doing damage control.
just take wow's horrid release -- hyjal was pretty rough for a couple/three/six months and yet that first day (and week) no one stopped playing wow long enough to go post anything about wow -- cuz we were having fun. but darkfall is so great and fun that this entire first week (so far) the fanbois do nothing BUT post. some of them stop "poasting" once we point this out... but some are determined to do damage control... which is really weird, since sales are stopped on darkfall.

Darkfall is an overhyped flop...! This game won't even be open in 6 months, so it doesn't matter what anyone says..!
