Darkfall has been #1 for the past few weeks, I personally think its a bot changing IPs, but who knows.

The same thing happend to the movie "The Dark Knight". It was accused of having used forbidden and secret ways to make people go and see it. Lots of consiracy there to.

Critics the the movie shouted "its just a freaking Batman movie!, no way it can make 900 million dollars without cheating".

 

 

Come on Daarco,

You and I go way, way back.  We know, I'm a troll and you are the poster child for good things like DFO, we all get that, ok?

Putting that aside, even you have to find it odd that DFO gets 13k more hits on this site than the next closest one.  You are too smart not to agree.

 

But..but..i said it was weird!  I agree on it.

If we look at Most popular Game a year back....DF is nr 2!

Thats even more weird.

easy answer:

people are reading about darkfall.

people are playing aion.

also remember

and today you have threads 6592 and 162202 posts  that are 4000 threads in 10 months 400 threads per months whit 13 threads per day

Yes. I hear the new buzz on the streets is calling patches expansions. Anyway, I just made my tinfoil hat, and a double-layered one, at that.

 

They provide enough new content in them that they can call them expansions especially with them being free.  This is not uncommon throughout the entire MMO industry.  People only make a big deal out of it because they want another reason to rag on this game.  There are many good reasons to rag on this game,  but trolls do not like to stick to honest criticism alone.

 

The hit thing is odd definitely though.

 

Read my posting history about this, please. If you have questions, we can talk over PMs.

Do not have the time,  have read most of the arguments for and against it.  We would likely just bark stuff at each other we both already know.   Prob would not change each others mind on the issue anyhow.

Don't worry, Aventurine doesn't just work on DarkFall.

They have a lifetime contract making military training software for the Greek Air Forces.

 

So they wont run out of money, be sure of that.

Imo, they made a massive profit from DFO.

No advertising, just two servers, tiny dev team. They made shit loads of money just from the initial sales back in Ferbuary.

Add all the hackers with double and triple accounts + monthly fees for all these months and there you go, even more money.

 

In my book, Aventurine has succeded in many ways.

But im happy for one thing. They showed the big companies out there that games like DFO can work and will work if you make them properly.

 

 

back to the topic  there is your thread generating more hits twitter.com/darkfall_mmorpg/status/5362702018

So its twitter that generates hits for Darkfall when someone posts updates? I'm not familiar with Twitter but they have huge amounts of people who can check it out so I guess it's possible.

If not they should stop the damn macro, turning it on once or twice per day would be enough dumbo ;)

Well then its case closed: Darkfall is indeed the most popular game on mmorpg.com on it's own merit...sort of

haters gonna hate tho

Wow, can't believe people are STILL trying to find something to bash Darkfall about.

Yes, the numbers do seem odd, but think about it, they just announced that transfers are THIS WEEK and we should be seeing the upcoming large expansion in a week or two, why wouldn't that attract a SHIT TON of people?

Just wanted to say that people who think that this is some sort of ploy to get popularity on THIS site are completely mistaken. It is not unknown that most of the users here are not cut out for darkfall and it was never the developers intention to have more than a few  thousand subscribers per server. This game is not for the masses and if it had as many subscribers that you noobs think a good game needs then the players the game was actually designed for would not be playing it.

The only service this website brings to darkfall is to give the WOW/AION players who are looking for a meaningful pvp experience and a true sandbox envirornment a chance to find out about the game.

TLDR: most likely if you are reading this you would be horrible at darkfall even if you played it but thats okay because we don't want you to play with us, carebear. Go back to your spoon fed content you simpleton.

Maybe if nutcuppers like the OP didnt come here every 5 seconds furiously refreshing incase there is something new to bash, it wouldnt have half as many hits.

Well, that wouldn't be the first time DFO is involved in shady stuff. It is obvious manipulation, or maybe Tasos is giving away free moussakas to people who access the forums in Greece.

When the game is lacking, you gotta find some other ways to feed the monkey. And I must admit AV is pretty good at that.

I find it hysterical that all the conspiracy theorists are still out there making up nonsense. You just can't break the habbit huh? Years and years spent calling Darkfall vaporware, a scam, a big inside job, now that its out, surely the only way it could have generated hits is by shady under dealings. I would have written this off as a troll post (well, it still is) until I saw the next few members agree with it. I'm sure the unique hits have absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Darkfall is currently undergoing a lot of additions to the game, forums, account servers, with lots of new players, and things of that nature. Nothing to do with Darkfall having an article hosted on this website. It's all a conspiracy theory from that evil shady Tasos up to no good to generate interest on a website that has hated Darkfall for 4 years!

Talking about that numbers has rised their reproduction rate. Seems has the effect of  aphrodesiac to that numbers

*whip* back to forumfall siggy, they dont like our kind round ere

I love the Irony of people continually posting in a forum and at the same wondering why that forum is so popular.

Darkfall: http://www.xfire.com/games/darkfall/Darkfall/ - 500 to 750 hours played.

Aion: http://www.xfire.com/games/aion/Aion/ - 50000 to 75000 hours played.

Another xfire nerd?

This forum has been over the xfire issue a zillion times. Xfire is irrelevant with Darkfall because the program screws up the game, among other things.

You have to keep in mind that a very small percentage of gamers actually care to use a program that tracks their gaming time. Most of us really don't care about stuff like that.

I agree 'nuff said.

Dear god, I fucking hope the ratio stays like that and I am a darkfall player. The only way darkfall could become that popular would be if it catered to all the 15 year olds who cant handle a full loot sandbox pvp game. Darkfall is a game for people that are looking for something different, not people who are looking for a carbon copy of the most popular online game ever.

Niche game has a loyal niche player base, enjoy your pixies and fairies.

Darkfall, 17k hits today.

P.S. Who the hell uses Xfire, lol.

Alot of chinese bots plays Aion too.

If we put for every chinese and the amount on chinese goes into bilions a bot in that equation and then divide the time through gold then adding the time for selling then the time for AION could be explained.
