"The Athens Event
As far as I'm aware at this time no new information is being released at the event. However odds are people who attended will begin posting their perceptions of the event today or tomorrow.

An update on the event and how it went will come from Aventurine at a later date, however as this was basically a local PR sort of thing don't expect that they got information you guys don't have. It's the sort of thing to get more people who don't know about the game interested in it."

Quote from Brannoc from the official web-page

forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php

I thought there was going to be some sort of an announcement at the event?  I'm hoping that a bigger announcement is coming tomorrow perhaps?

 Obviously, I am not alone in thinking that there was going to be a bit more info released...

"Anyways my intention was to let people know that we will very soon have real info about DF".

"so there's going to be some big news between tomorrow (their normal update day) and the 16th (or both) is my astute observation".

"Tasos says they may announce something if they feel they ready for to announce something by the time but at least they are going to do a presentation there."

"Thing is he in fact confirmed they are working hard for the convention and time is pushing.

Now i dont want to start spreading retarded rumors, but if it was just "another" common, not-so important event; why would they be so silent about it?

Why would they be all working hard looking forward to it? Especially when AudioVisual mentions the word "beta" in their announcement."

"Only a couple more days everyone! I am more excited for this then I thought I would be."

"me too I'm banking on them announcing either open beta or release date....so excited"

"Tomorrow is the 16th! Public debut and beta launch ftw!"

"Oh yeah, did I mention that its being HOSTED by Aventurine? Its not some small crap convention to announce their game, its THEIR convention, what better time to release information?"

"the 16th!!!"

"Wait 3 days and you'll hear even more"

"This game's debuting tomorrow! Finally! We can all be happy now! Tenspotting i hope you're too poor to afford it."

 Apparently we were all wrong. 

Relax!

The Athen event was a small step for MMOs, but a gigant step for Aventurine. Soon we will get all the information we need.

LOL.  You forgot to put the TM next to Soon. 

Bunch of nerds hyped the event based on nothing but a few badly translated words from Greek. Seriously, anyone with a brain could guess it would be a presentation + possibly some live gameplay on 2-3 computers, typical of such events. "Public launch"? Seriously, wtf.

There is some news now but not sure how reliable it is since I haven't seen it confirmed by any Devs yet:

"The big news that I was told I can share with the community is that OPEN beta will be FINISHED by the start of December and release will follow soon after. So… stay on your toes."

From this link: forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php

Tbh, I wasn't expecting something new, or any kind of a date. But if people played the game, then that's pretty big. (Or at least saw it, and not a video)

"time for more right now but a video and some more pics will be made available as soon as I can unload it all from my dv camera…
The event was great, about 120 people watched the presentation although at first Tasos feared there would not be many people because of the day an hour it took place. The game was there, running live, over the internet and not some offline version. Performance is great although I don't know what kind of machine they were running it on and it was running for a good hour I think without crashing, glitching or showing any other problems. Right at the end of the presentation the game seemed to crash to the desktop and everyone when uh-oh. But the message that poped up was that the connection to the server had been lost… Greek internet connections ftw.

That is a good announcement however...

Why didn't it come from Tasos?

Why announce the date of the Finish to Open Beta... but not the start?

Oh well... it's not like Darkfall ever does things the normal way.  Good to hear that it will be coming real soon though.

Because Tasos is likely still running the event. It doesn't end after the Darkfall presentation. This was information Tasos gave Shaar leave to report.

And as has already been announced, beta has already started, and Tasos made a point in saying "we may not announce the beginning of the next phase."

As of 3 days ago they are still in hardware testing.

Well... the end of the beta date anyway. 

It would be nice to see Tasos make an official announcement and the START of Beta as well.  But, like you said... at least we know when it will be finished. 

Well, there's the (not exactly) usual weekly post by Tasos tomorrow. Maybe he'll say something in there.

The post by Shaar referenced OPEN BETA... not just any old misunderstand-what-I-mean-Beta.  "OPEN BETA will be finished by the start of December".   He even capitalized the word OPEN so that it would be emphasized. 

You are right though in that Tasos said they may not announce the begginning of the next phase.  He also didn't say that the end of OPEN BETA would be announced before the beginning... go figure. 

ROFL

Tasos is KOS.....

he needs to grow a pair....

Well, i guess that after Darkfall launch all we'll see on these forums is new troll accounts and "OMG REMOVE FULL LOOT OR I QUITZOR" threads. E-peen is overrated, get a fucking grip.

I too am fully expecting there to be a ton of posts after release complaining about the very features that Darkfall is promising to deliver.  Why wouldn't there be?  We see them on almost every other MMO's forums.  I don't expect Darkfall's forum to be any different.

Unfortunately there is no such thing as accepting a game for what it is now-a-days.  It's all about me... so yeah I agree.  Come release... there will be tons of posts complaining about Full Loot.  The telling part for the future of the game will be what is done about them.
