...ok ok ill bite, ive tried most things and would even potentially bite the bullett on a 50 dollar two week darkfall venture, but how the hell do you even get the game?  the website still says its in beta with limited to no information and you cant find a retailer for it anywhere?  I read a post alluding to them selling XXX number of keys a day but no links to where or when

This really is not WoW/EQ where Gear makes the man. Here in eVE, the man with biggest balls, willing to risk the most, will win. It is risk/reward here- not always wear best items 24/7 and beat the crap out of all else.

You can not get the game at this time.

Read this update from Tasos: http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?p=3069733#post3069733

 

Until the queue issues are resolved, no new accounts will be released for this game.

 

Yes, this is very weird. I suggest you wait a month or two before considering to buy this game.

 You have to be hardcore and queue to get the game. It's good practice as you have to be hardcore and queue to play too.

It is currenlty in a pay-to-play beta.

 

I am sure there will be an announcement when it is released.

You can download the beta from BitTorrent and then join the daily lottery for a chance to pay full retail.

To buy this game you may need: 2 sheeps, 1 chicken, 1 virgin, speak some ancient language and be a friend of Tasos. But it's not really clear yet.

The lottery is on hold, see my first reply in this topic.

Currently, you can only get this game the illegal way, buy buying it from a disappointer ex-player.

i guess i'm confused... if your server can only hold 8k-10k players, and you have, say 12k-30k players trying to logon... what exactly are they doing to fix "the queue problem"?   are they expanding the server's capacity?  are they adding a new server?

 

this is not really directed to the quoted person, just to the populace in general.

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?

Yes, at least that is what they say.

Nope, still only 1 server. And I think it was AVs intention to only have 1 big server all along. Now that this obviously isn't working, you could say they need more servers. We can only guess why that is not happening.
