let him see this

then he wont mind about DFO ever again :)

    Besides the obvious sarcasm/attempt to get someone to compile a list of "Hard Facts" (Why Darkfall sucks)

     The Airforce has bases all over the world. When I did my 4 years in the Airforce, I went to germany, England, Spain, Japan, and Qatar. I was stationed out of Georgia. There are alot of great places you can end up in the Airforce depending on what job you have. i was a aircraft mechanic on KC-135's.

   I also agree that your friend, if there really is a friend, should not be a cop. Unless he thinks 10-12 hour days standing at the base entrances checking ID's all day is fun.

During basic training, I know that I really looked forward to mail from the outside on things I follow and enjoy. My wife at the time would send me clippings of how my beloved Pirates were underperforming and so on. I can see how this kid could use info about a game as something to keep him going. Don't try to convince him DF is in trouble, send him all the positive and negatice info and let him decide on his own.

I can see in the near future a certain scene from "Full Metal Jacket" being replayed in that place and your friend being one of the protagonists of it

DO YOU LIKE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES PRIVATE??

Isn't that obvious?

You can show him the links to the things you list here. Videos that show the bugs and exploits. Forums that include topics by unhappy customers.

You just have to be quick about it, since there is a lot being locked and deleted.

Links? He's in boot camp man... He only gets the occassional phone call and only has enough time to shoot me a letter here and there.

And no people, I'm not BSing. This guy LIVED for darkfall.

I call BS on this. Sorry but in boot you have about a million other things to worry about than a video game. Sorry but thats just facts.

I don't see why it is such a crazy story. Plenty of gamers go into the military, especially ones who wasted their shot at college playing MMOs lol.

Fact is, he wrote me a letter asking how Darkfall is going.

Why would he care about DF when he'll be engaging in RL FFA PvP?

The armed forces is about as hardcore as you can get.

Haha, True dat. It IS FFA, you can kill anyone anywhere, regardless of factions. I guess you could say he'll be in guild warfare.

Fucking hell. I'm never posting here again. Can you people not imagine somebody making a post on these forums that is straightforward? I did not imagine just how jaded you would all be. There must be more trolls here than I thought.

Obvious attempt to get someone to compile a list of facts? Sure, so I can send them to my friend (THIS INCLUDES POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE FACTS).

Well master sociologist, this time you have made a false reading on someone's intentions.

Good idea man. I'm going to take your advice on that. I also am telling him about Mortals online.

Oh then it's even more easy to convince him.

Since he is in boot camp and can't have seen any news updates from Darkfall for the last week. You don't have to do anything to convince him.

Once he's done and actually can sit in front of a computer again (if ever), then he will see it for himself.

Darkfall rocks, don't ruin his dreams for your own pleasure by lying.

Let him try it, it's for people that loved UO.
