i'm reading thru the current features available to me ingame.  as a player of darkfall, i'm curious as to what exactly is being advertised on the official, updated website?

Explore five continents, countless small islands, trackless underwater depths, and a sprawling underworld. Hundreds of dungeons and adventure areas await. <<since they mention these items.. doesn't that mean something worthwhile exists in these areas? what is underwater, in regards to exploration and adventure? hundreds of dungeons and adventure areas? i take adventure areas to be like... a fort with trolls or elves in it... hundreds??? where's my hundreds???

Play any of Agon's six dominant races. Each race has a unique set of abilities, as well as its own civilization, culture, and way of life. <<< unique set of abiltieis? like the wolf guys running as fast as a horsey? oh wait... that doesn't exist. what are my unique racial abilties again?
 

Meet hundreds of unique monsters, and take them on in their lairs, strongholds and domains. Repetitive monster encounters are a thing of the past.  <<< hundreds of unique monsters?  repetitive monster encounters are a thing of the past?  where are my hundreds of uniques and my non-repetitive encounters?

Experience a world brought to life by real-world physics and dynamic lighting and shadows. Watch trees and grass sway in the wind as sunlight peeks through passing clouds. Observe the movements of Agon's twin moons, which are part of a dynamic planetary system with smooth day/night cycles. Sail your ship through rough seas, then become hampered by fog as the waters calm. Struggle as your battlefield-bound army marches into a severe storm. In Darkfall, the weather is more than just window dressing.   <<< um, where is all this weather that has such crazy affects on warfare (both land and sea)... i mean, the weather in darkfall is more than just window dressing... why is it that a wind which can move a huge 200'+ tall tree, at its base... doesn't even mess up the hair on my character?  i mean... wind that can move that tree, at its base... is hurricane cat 5 if not 6...

Uncover the mysteries of an ancient civilization, which left more than just ruins for later generations to discover. Untold riches and incredible power is the prize, as you join the race to claim an age-old inheritance  << a number of us have traveled far and wide... wtf does this statement refer to?  has anyone found ANY of this?

You don?t have to spend endless hours playing in order to enjoy yourself, or to become successful. Even if you only play in small doses, your character can be effective within his chosen field, and a lot of fun to play. Whether you?re looking for intense involvement or just casual fun without a huge time investment, Darkfall accommodates your playing style.   <<< actual experience playing ingame proves this statement to be false.  in order to be successful, in pretty much any field, you have to macro for days/weeks.  if someone has experiences that contradict these experiences of myself (and clan/alliance m8s of mine); please post the examples, not just "nuh huh, you're wrong"... cuz it's rigor pyramids, walls of pain, swimming/running/sprinting/crouchwalking while at work/sleep, and all sorts of other macroing, in order to be considered successful in darkfall.

In Darkfall, there?s much more to character development than, say, raising your riding or mining skill by mindlessly killing rats all day. Instead, you'll need to practice your skills if you want to get better at them. Darkfall?s skill based system makes sense, and it saves you from having to waste your playing time leveling.   << again, from actually playing the game, all i do is level my character.  every 25 points of a skill, you get the message "your skill X has increased to a new level".  everyone shoots for the skill 75+ area of skills.  so it's just a bunch of macroing to get to that level.  the core of the game is sieging (i.e. taking and holding territory), you NEED to have high levels of combat skills (both attack and defense) in order to be successful at sieging.  yes, a lot of zerging happens... a lot of zergers also have high levels in their skils.

You will never have to re-roll your character again. With Darkfall?s flexible character development system, your character simply adapts to the choices you make for him. We give you hundreds of skills to learn and master, and around a hundred Prestige classes to further specialize in.   << what prestige classes?

You have the freedom to follow the rules, or to break them and face the consequences. Darkfall?s Alignment system is hard but fair.  << um... big deal, i become "evil" and i can't go to the starter areas... is there something in the starter areas that i care about?  i don't understand how this alignment system matters at all.

Multiple safeguards protect you from cheats and exploits that would otherwise interfere with your gaming experience.  << this is about the most inaccurate statement so far -- speed hacks, piggy backing, flying ships, et cetera...

In Darkfall, all items in the world can be made by the players. << this is simply a lie.

Darkfall?s crafting system is intuitive, non-repetitive, challenging, useful, fun - and profitable. Using Darkfall?s virtually limitless item creator system, you could invent and be the first to use a weapon as awesome as the Flamefury Raudstaal Battleaxe of Bloodshed, or just make a simple saddle for your horse.   << the bolded, italicized, underlined portion is simply a lie.

Bring your goods to market using Darkfall?s sophisticated and secure trading system, bringing buyers and sellers together easily whether they?re inside the game or not.  << this does not exist.

Protect your home and expand your holdings as you build your empire. In Darkfall, clans struggle for supremacy and survival as they compete over land ownership, resources, and strategic objectives.  << what strategic objectives?  it lists land ownership, resources AND strategic objectives... i can see the first two... where is the third?

Your victories are documented for posterity and success is measurable, so you'll never have to wonder what really happened. << where is the "legend" "legendary" or whatever this system is called.. where is it?

There are no safe zones in Darkfall. The only protection you can count on is your friends watching your back.   << tons of safe zones.  this is another outright lie.

Darkfall places no restrictions on player interaction, so there are no developer imposed safe zones, no realms, factions, PvP zones, or any other roadblocks that limit your game. Anyone can fight anyone, anywhere as long as they are willing to face the consequences - in the form of Darkfall?s alignment system.  << did someone forget to tell tasos that darkfall has safe zones? and again, what purpose does the alignment system serve, in a practical sense?

  You can enjoy easy communication with your friends, even while outside the game. Darkfall?s Communication interface includes in-game message and trade boards, an IRC-style chat system, instant messaging, voice support, and even mobile phone SMS messaging.<< how do i activate something other than the bulky, idiotically implemented text chat?

Trade your hard earned items using Darkfall?s secure trade interface and in-game trade boards.   << does darkfall have ANY features which the site says it has?  seriously.

When you play Darkfall, you take part in a constantly evolving, world-spanning storyline. Your reputation will precede you, and your fame will grow through clan victories and individual achievements. Whether you're a fearless fighter, a respected leader, a persuasive politician, or a skilled artisan, you will get the recognition you deserve. In Darkfall, your deeds and views are recorded and chronicled as you become a part of - and a shaper of - world history. With Darkfall?s narrative Legend system, your name will live in fame or in infamy, and it will never be forgotten.  <<the narrative legend system is... where exactly?  more lies?

Top clans and top individual players from various gaming genres will be there, along with over ten thousand simultaneous players per world. You?re in very good company.  << over ten thousand simultaneous (means the same as "concurrent") players per world... do NOT see this happening.  if someone has factual links to this occurring, please provide them.  i think this is more bullshit at this point.

Test your mettle in Darkfall?s Arena Events where individual players and teams compete for fun and profit.   << you do not build "teams" to siege.  sieging is not competition for fun.  where are these arena events?  this is listed completely separately from other types of "pvp", so please do not attempt to mistake this with something OTHER than what it plainly states itself to be.

Every single person involved in the production of Darkfall is a gamer first and foremost. We?ve been where you?ve been, and we play the games you play.  <<< if this is true; then, why don't they build the game we want to play?

We are committed to delivering and maintaining a complete, stable, and balanced game; a game that makes good on its promises, with regular and free expansion-size updates, prompt and swift customer service, and superior value for our players. << total and complete bullshit.

Darkfall offers you more ways to give feedback, and more ways to collaborate with the Darkfall Team in the evolution of the game. Your voice is heard loud and clear.  <<i do not think these words mean what tasos and company think they mean.

they have recently updated the website, as a couple of dozen OTHER features, which were advertised for YEARS on the official site, have been removed...

so, does anyone have information on where/how to access all these advertised features?  i mean, i could just be really stupid and unable to figure out how to access all these groovy features in (and out) of game.  my clan and alliance can both be filled with idiots and unable to figure any of these items out.

but, as a darkfall player, i truly am tired of people lying about what this game is supposed to have, and is not supposed to have.  this is a truncated list, as they DID delete many features from the website, a couple of months AFTER the game was released into retail.

several items in the list above, i have seen numerous people on this forum, making contradictory statements about.  for example, recently someone went on about "darkfall people have NEVER claimed to be able to handle 10,000 concurrent players, just 10,000 subs"... quite a few items listed above, have been routinely contradicted by people on this forum, and since no one can be bothered to read the official website and stop misquoting it -- i have quoted it for everyone.

again, please, if you have examples of the items which i believe are missing... provide them... thanks in advance to everyone for your efforts in this collaborative effort.

I'll keep it nice and short.
The website is out of date, everyone knows this. It hasn't been updated for 4 or more years.

They will be bringing us a new site "soon", and my guess is that you will probably be able to use in-game features (friends, clan management) through the site.

I'll edit the post with a link where they hint at a new site.

EDIT: Here you go:
Our number one concern is the quality of the experience for our existing users. We don’t want to create any problems by allowing too many new users in. This is why we have no boxes in the market, why we haven’t been promoting the game, why our new site isn’t up yet, why we don’t offer a free trial, why we don’t offer more payment options etc.
- http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?t=191365

They want to make Darkfall more public, they want to upgrade their website. But they feel that with only one server, the demand will be too high, this is why there is still no “Buy Darkfall” button anywhere and our release has been limited to the Darkfall community. aswell as they probably don't want to use resources on a website just yet. Things will change when they get a new / some new servers open I believe.

This kind of information honestly isn't hard to find if you simply read the news on their forum.

I'll edit the post with a link where they hint at a new site.

the site has been recently updated, as a number of items have been removed, or changed (i.e. only one character per account).

so i don't know why you're saying the site is out of date.

it was updated directly prior to release (remember the jokes about the new border?), and it's been updated at least twice, if not three times, since release.

i'm dealing with factual information.  not spurious statements with nothing to back them.  please stick with the facts.  thank you.

I m glad you did all that research, i m too lazy and busy to bother lol. I would like to see the responses mind you. Theres no excuse 4 months after supposed release, to not have these features in or at least them saying they won t be in.

DarkFall must be the only game where trolls go through every word on a description given noumerous times. I mean Aventurine has done litle to no advertise and the description is the litle advertising they do on their own site, i am sure these is the 10th topic about that and is getting old really.

The website is out of date, everyone knows this. It hasn't been updated for 4 or more years.

They will be bringing us a new site "soon", and my guess is that you will probably be able to use in-game features (friends, clan management) through the site.

I'll edit the post with a link where they hint at a new site.

there isn't such a post, at least not that i am aware of. because of the circumstances of this game and the fact that i have followed it so long i must have read everything now that tasos ever posted, every interview, etc. the only thing he mentioned about the website is that they didn't update it yet because the interest in df is too high and they want to limit the amount of players joining (he also stated that this the only reason why there are limited billing options, no advertising, etc). which is yet another fucking lie.

god, i hate this fucking company, they are a bunch of immature and ignorant scammers. rage on! :D

i'm reading thru the current features available to me ingame.  as a player of darkfall, i'm curious as to what exactly is being advertised on the official, updated website?

 

Explore five continents, countless small islands, trackless underwater depths, and a sprawling underworld. Hundreds of dungeons and adventure areas await. <<since they mention these items.. doesn't that mean something worthwhile exists in these areas? what is underwater, in regards to exploration and adventure? hundreds of dungeons and adventure areas? i take adventure areas to be like... a fort with trolls or elves in it... hundreds??? where's my hundreds???

Play any of Agon's six dominant races. Each race has a unique set of abilities, as well as its own civilization, culture, and way of life. <<< unique set of abiltieis? like the wolf guys running as fast as a horsey? oh wait... that doesn't exist. what are my unique racial abilties again?
 

Meet hundreds of unique monsters, and take them on in their lairs, strongholds and domains. Repetitive monster encounters are a thing of the past.  <<< hundreds of unique monsters?  repetitive monster encounters are a thing of the past?  where are my hundreds of uniques and my non-repetitive encounters?

Experience a world brought to life by real-world physics and dynamic lighting and shadows. Watch trees and grass sway in the wind as sunlight peeks through passing clouds. Observe the movements of Agon's twin moons, which are part of a dynamic planetary system with smooth day/night cycles. Sail your ship through rough seas, then become hampered by fog as the waters calm. Struggle as your battlefield-bound army marches into a severe storm. In Darkfall, the weather is more than just window dressing.   <<< um, where is all this weather that has such crazy affects on warfare (both land and sea)... i mean, the weather in darkfall is more than just window dressing... why is it that a wind which can move a huge 200'+ tall tree, at its base... doesn't even mess up the hair on my character?  i mean... wind that can move that tree, at its base... is hurricane cat 5 if not 6...

Uncover the mysteries of an ancient civilization, which left more than just ruins for later generations to discover. Untold riches and incredible power is the prize, as you join the race to claim an age-old inheritance  << a number of us have traveled far and wide... wtf does this statement refer to?  has anyone found ANY of this?

You don?t have to spend endless hours playing in order to enjoy yourself, or to become successful. Even if you only play in small doses, your character can be effective within his chosen field, and a lot of fun to play. Whether you?re looking for intense involvement or just casual fun without a huge time investment, Darkfall accommodates your playing style.   <<< actual experience playing ingame proves this statement to be false.  in order to be successful, in pretty much any field, you have to macro for days/weeks.  if someone has experiences that contradict these experiences of myself (and clan/alliance m8s of mine); please post the examples, not just "nuh huh, you're wrong"... cuz it's rigor pyramids, walls of pain, swimming/running/sprinting/crouchwalking while at work/sleep, and all sorts of other macroing, in order to be considered successful in darkfall.

 

In Darkfall, there?s much more to character development than, say, raising your riding or mining skill by mindlessly killing rats all day. Instead, you'll need to practice your skills if you want to get better at them. Darkfall?s skill based system makes sense, and it saves you from having to waste your playing time leveling.   << again, from actually playing the game, all i do is level my character.  every 25 points of a skill, you get the message "your skill X has increased to a new level".  everyone shoots for the skill 75+ area of skills.  so it's just a bunch of macroing to get to that level.  the core of the game is sieging (i.e. taking and holding territory), you NEED to have high levels of combat skills (both attack and defense) in order to be successful at sieging.  yes, a lot of zerging happens... a lot of zergers also have high levels in their skils.

 

You will never have to re-roll your character again. With Darkfall?s flexible character development system, your character simply adapts to the choices you make for him. We give you hundreds of skills to learn and master, and around a hundred Prestige classes to further specialize in.   << what prestige classes?

You have the freedom to follow the rules, or to break them and face the consequences. Darkfall?s Alignment system is hard but fair.  << um... big deal, i become "evil" and i can't go to the starter areas... is there something in the starter areas that i care about?  i don't understand how this alignment system matters at all.

Multiple safeguards protect you from cheats and exploits that would otherwise interfere with your gaming experience.  << this is about the most inaccurate statement so far -- speed hacks, piggy backing, flying ships, et cetera...

 

In Darkfall, all items in the world can be made by the players. << this is simply a lie.

Darkfall?s crafting system is intuitive, non-repetitive, challenging, useful, fun - and profitable. Using Darkfall?s virtually limitless item creator system, you could invent and be the first to use a weapon as awesome as the Flamefury Raudstaal Battleaxe of Bloodshed, or just make a simple saddle for your horse.   << the bolded, italicized, underlined portion is simply a lie.

 

Bring your goods to market using Darkfall?s sophisticated and secure trading system, bringing buyers and sellers together easily whether they?re inside the game or not.  << this does not exist.

Protect your home and expand your holdings as you build your empire. In Darkfall, clans struggle for supremacy and survival as they compete over land ownership, resources, and strategic objectives.  << what strategic objectives?  it lists land ownership, resources AND strategic objectives... i can see the first two... where is the third?

Your victories are documented for posterity and success is measurable, so you'll never have to wonder what really happened. << where is the "legend" "legendary" or whatever this system is called.. where is it?

There are no safe zones in Darkfall. The only protection you can count on is your friends watching your back.   << tons of safe zones.  this is another outright lie.

Darkfall places no restrictions on player interaction, so there are no developer imposed safe zones, no realms, factions, PvP zones, or any other roadblocks that limit your game. Anyone can fight anyone, anywhere as long as they are willing to face the consequences - in the form of Darkfall?s alignment system.  << did someone forget to tell tasos that darkfall has safe zones? and again, what purpose does the alignment system serve, in a practical sense?

 

  You can enjoy easy communication with your friends, even while outside the game. Darkfall?s Communication interface includes in-game message and trade boards, an IRC-style chat system, instant messaging, voice support, and even mobile phone SMS messaging.<< how do i activate something other than the bulky, idiotically implemented text chat?

Trade your hard earned items using Darkfall?s secure trade interface and in-game trade boards.   << does darkfall have ANY features which the site says it has?  seriously.

When you play Darkfall, you take part in a constantly evolving, world-spanning storyline. Your reputation will precede you, and your fame will grow through clan victories and individual achievements. Whether you're a fearless fighter, a respected leader, a persuasive politician, or a skilled artisan, you will get the recognition you deserve. In Darkfall, your deeds and views are recorded and chronicled as you become a part of - and a shaper of - world history. With Darkfall?s narrative Legend system, your name will live in fame or in infamy, and it will never be forgotten.  <<the narrative legend system is... where exactly?  more lies?

Top clans and top individual players from various gaming genres will be there, along with over ten thousand simultaneous players per world. You?re in very good company.  << over ten thousand simultaneous (means the same as "concurrent") players per world... do NOT see this happening.  if someone has factual links to this occurring, please provide them.  i think this is more bullshit at this point.

Test your mettle in Darkfall?s Arena Events where individual players and teams compete for fun and profit.   << you do not build "teams" to siege.  sieging is not competition for fun.  where are these arena events?  this is listed completely separately from other types of "pvp", so please do not attempt to mistake this with something OTHER than what it plainly states itself to be.

Every single person involved in the production of Darkfall is a gamer first and foremost. We?ve been where you?ve been, and we play the games you play.  <<< if this is true; then, why don't they build the game we want to play?

We are committed to delivering and maintaining a complete, stable, and balanced game; a game that makes good on its promises, with regular and free expansion-size updates, prompt and swift customer service, and superior value for our players. << total and complete bullshit.

Darkfall offers you more ways to give feedback, and more ways to collaborate with the Darkfall Team in the evolution of the game. Your voice is heard loud and clear.  <<i do not think these words mean what tasos and company think they mean.

 

 

they have recently updated the website, as a couple of dozen OTHER features, which were advertised for YEARS on the official site, have been removed...

 

so, does anyone have information on where/how to access all these advertised features?  i mean, i could just be really stupid and unable to figure out how to access all these groovy features in (and out) of game.  my clan and alliance can both be filled with idiots and unable to figure any of these items out.

but, as a darkfall player, i truly am tired of people lying about what this game is supposed to have, and is not supposed to have.  this is a truncated list, as they DID delete many features from the website, a couple of months AFTER the game was released into retail.

 

several items in the list above, i have seen numerous people on this forum, making contradictory statements about.  for example, recently someone went on about "darkfall people have NEVER claimed to be able to handle 10,000 concurrent players, just 10,000 subs"... quite a few items listed above, have been routinely contradicted by people on this forum, and since no one can be bothered to read the official website and stop misquoting it -- i have quoted it for everyone.

 

again, please, if you have examples of the items which i believe are missing... provide them... thanks in advance to everyone for your efforts in this collaborative effort.

 

 

 

I'll keep it nice and short.
The website is out of date, everyone knows this. It hasn't been updated for 4 or more years.

They will be bringing us a new site "soon", and my guess is that you will probably be able to use in-game features (friends, clan management) through the site.

I'll edit the post with a link where they hint at a new site.

 

the site has been recently updated, as a number of items have been removed, or changed (i.e. only one character per account).

so i don't know why you're saying the site is out of date.

it was updated directly prior to release (remember the jokes about the new border?), and it's been updated at least twice, if not three times, since release.

 

i'm dealing with factual information.  not spurious statements with nothing to back them.  please stick with the facts.  thank you.

Read my now edited post.
If you seriously think the new boarder was a website update, you are out of your mind. My guess is that it was probably accidental if anything.
And yeah, they changed some text to remove some features that aren't in the game, and obviously missed some out. This is also not a new website. So, like you said. Stick to the facts. The website IS out of date. And deleting text does not qualify as a new site.

Hardly, i saw the same when AoC was released. The problem is that the description on the darkfall hompage is quite different from what the game is like. I want to play the game that is described on their homepage, but as i have done my research i know that the things that interest me from that list is not in the game.

I am not saying that the game is bad (i don't know as i haven't played it) but it would be better for everyone if the homepage was accurate.

i'm sorry if you do not have the expectations of a reasonable person.  even with this VERY truncated listing (most of the REAL good stuff has been deleted)... but with this tiny listing - there are several revolutionary features touted by this game.

REVOLUTIONARY.

your trolling comments are NOT welcome, darthraiden.  i, personally, want to know where all these innovative and revolutionary features are... do i have to type some sort of command to enable the legend narrative?  how exactly do i get the sms communications going?

this is NOT nitpicking on teeny tiny features - these are ground breaking AND revolutionary jumps in MMOs...

these are not tiny bywords that people will miss.

TAKE YOUR TROLLING ELSEWHERE, DARTHRAIDEN.

this constant trolling became REAL old months ago.   i am looking for factual information

there's a new website coming?  a 4th or 5th update in as many months?  fine.. where's the link?

you are not posting about the expectations of a reasonable person.  i am reading the information on the website.  if i picked ONLY the SMS statement - then trolls would reply with "oh that's only one teeny tiny thing that isn't enabled"; if i put a handful of items "oh, that's just a few items that aren't implemented yet"; if i put a long list "oh you're nitpicking".

NONE of those statements are anything other than BLATANT trolling.  you can not answer any of the items in the op; because of the massive amount of misleading statements ON EVERY SINGLE FEATURES PAGE.  yes, i went to every feature page, and items above cover every single feature page - there is not one feature page on the official site which you can remotely trust.

unless, and this is very possible, i and my clanmates are just too stupid to figure it out.  and believe me, between the group of us, we have some major dumbasses.

so, if you can do something other than troll, like contribute to this thread, with links, screenshots, videos - i.e. FACTUAL information; please do.  all help is welcome.  but do not come here trolling and expect to be well-received.  do not come here with lies and expect to be thanked.  do not come here with sarcastic silliness and expect to be greeted as a hero.

we darkfall players are sick and tired of lies told about OUR game.

damian, I wish you'd stop telling people they're trolling, when they're trying to prove a point. You always post the same lines, "we darkfallz plaiorz..." etc etc... I highly doubt you play Darkfall, otherwise you'd be enjoying the game rather than trolling its players through a forum that allows this sort of behaviour. I have to admit it's pretty smart, calling others a troll to try and indicate that you are not a troll.

You are always complaining about the website that everyone knows was made like 5 years ago. I mean even your first complaint proves that you haven't really played long enough to justify posting this thread. Where you ask what is underwater to explore, there is actually tunnels leading to hamlets located underwater.

Very smart trolling indeed.

You're telling Darth that he's trolling and flamebaiting? Oh, jesus. What question did you ask? You didn't ask a question apart from "i'm reading thru the current features available to me ingame. as a player of darkfall, i'm curious as to what exactly is being advertised on the official, updated website?". My answer to this, is that you are incorrect and mis-informed. This website is not "updated" and they are not trying to "advertise" their game through it. This is why they are keeping Darkfall sales hidden, only accessable by the Darkfall community for time being.

When people reply to your posts with facts, do NOT tell them they're trolling, mis-informing, flamebating etc. Because this is infact EXACTLY what you are doing. This person is not "baiting" you to reply, you're doing the bating.

So, can I ask you to stop?

 EDIT: Also, why didn't you reply to any of my posts which, this time did infact contain quotes and facts from RECANT news updates taken from the forum? Was it helpful to you at all, or..?

i'm not going to address all three of these.  i posted information and i made specific comments about every one of them - these are what i am asking about.  i am not asking about every single item.  i am not, as you previously suggested, nitpicking.  i am asking SPECIFIC questions about SPECIFIC features.  you are completely ignoring every single question i have posed thus far.  that is TROLLING.  STOP TROLLING DARTH.
 

 

Uncover the mysteries of an ancient civilization, which left more than just ruins for later generations to discover. Untold riches and incredible power is the prize, as you join the race to claim an age-old inheritance

 

-ruins to discover all over the world, pointing to mysteries of an ancient  civilization check  << answer the questions i posed darth.  all you have done thus far is troll  -- STOP TROLLING.

 

 

are you incapable of answering any questions at all that i have raised?  you have ignored every single question i have posed.  all you are doing is flamebaiting, giving misinformation, and trolling  -- STOP IT DARTH. 

Your topic title was "looking at darkfallonline.com".

I dont have to look as selective as you do by looking at it. I see the vast majority of what promised is already in the game.

Its not my fault you not like the implementation, i very like it so far.

damian, I wish you'd stop telling people they're trolling, when they're trying to prove a point. You always post the same lines, "we darkfallz plaiorz..." etc etc... I highly doubt you play Darkfall, otherwise you'd be enjoying the game rather than trolling its players through a forum that allows this sort of behaviour. I have to admit it's pretty smart, calling others a troll to try and indicate that you are not a troll.

You are always complaining about the website that everyone knows was made like 5 years ago. I mean even your first complaint proves that you haven't really played long enough to justify posting this thread. Where you ask what is underwater to explore, there is actually tunnels leading to hamlets located underwater.

Very smart trolling indeed.

(when i state "you" for the most part i am using a generic everyman "you")

i make factual statements backed with fact.  i ask questions.  i am given untruthful statements in return.  my questions are ignored.   that is the definition of trolling, especially when i have repeatedly stated how sick and tired i am of lies about darkfall.

i have posted numerous times, information which can only be gained from playing the game.  i even gave information between certain alliance relationships that could only be gained from being part of one of those alliances, or a spy, or by having a spy in one or both alliances.

the website HAS been updated several times recently - do you honestly not remember the border jokes when they updated that?  when they announced the NA server, they changed the faq to state "only one character per ACCOUNT" instead of server.  they have deleted features 2 or 3 times now.  the fact that they have done numerous updates to the website since launch is not an item you can say is false.  this is a true statement.

you making personal attacks against me, in the form of stating i do not play darkfall and all this other silliness - is nothing more than personal attacks.  that is also a form of trolling.

what point is proven by completely IGNORING questions i pose and pasting from the op in order to pretend you're answering my question - but in fact, you're either presenting lies, or you're pointing out objects which (by exception proven) i agree with?  that is trolling.  (this is the everyman "you")

you have personally responded to one item.  that underwater tunnels exist to underwater hamlets.  is that ALL that there is for underwater?  i mean, have you been playing this game for months longer than i (um, one or two months more?)  do you have more information to the plethora of questions?   i mean, aside from that one line about underwater tunnels/hamlets, you pretty much just attacked me.

but, that's not harrassment, trolling, flamebaiting?

i can go to pretty much any website for other MMOs, pull up their features' lists, and not have anywhere near this amount of discrepancies.  a reasonable person would expect a company's website, for a game that can ONLY BE PURCHASED VIA DIRECT DOWNLOAD FROM THE INTERNETZ.... to be accurate and updated.  the fact that the darkfall people HAVE updated their site recently, to include deleting features formerly listed... proves they ARE updating their website.  this is factual information.  this is not shill opinionating.

darth is willfully ignoring every question i have posed and posting "hey darkfall has all this stuff" and it is mostly items i agree with... yes, darkfall has 5 continents.  i did not dispute, nor question, that item in the op.  yet, darth posts affirming that the game has 5 continents, while completely ignoring the question i had...   what do you call that? he is not illiterate, as he is copy/pasting information and replying to it.  yet he is willfully ignoring all the questions i posed.

is that not the definition of flamebaiting and trollling?

Even with these missing features, would you recommend the game?  I've been hesitant since launch, but would still like to play it.

Lol, depends who you ask. I wouldn t touch this game ever again, and yes I have played it. Theres alot better games out and coming out to not even bother with this game. I don t see a very good future for it persoanlly, or at least wait till the price drops alot.

I think some of us are a little confused as to what updating means. you can take it on a technical level and say even editing one word is an update! or you can use common sense and say that a few minor edits is a website that is not having much love and so shouldnt be classed as being updated.

Me? ill go with common sense :)
