it's obvious now that the game is there, all the main features are there, and the game is likely to be fairly popular (bearing in mind it is unapologetically hardcore). we can also definitely say the graphics are better than most of us expected (with some minor animation ugliness for a couple of races/sexes).
the only questions that matter at this point are: how good/stable is the game and when will it be released?
i think for sure there are external people in the beta right now but i don't think the scaled-up "open" beta has started yet, or we'd have heard about it by now.
08 release is looking unlikely i agree, but you can never be sure of anything with Av -- they could just as easily have an open beta from Dec 1-10, then release Dec 14.
I have a funny feeling there will be an announcement on Monday... |

How is any of that obvious ? Dark&Light and Mourning didn't smell nearly as much like vaporware as Darkfall still does. And we all know how those two turned out. Even in the unlikely case that Darkfall should indeed be released at some point in the future, expecting even half the promissed features to be in and fully functional would be setting yourself up for a huge disappointment, MMO history should have taught you that much. |

It just amazes me how you people are trying to hold this first time company to higher standards than giant gaming companies like Blizzard and SOE. When they say something, they're giving the best information they have available at that time. The logic that 'because things didn't go exactly to the plan that they had in early October, this game is vaporware' is not only flawed, it shows a very low level of intellectual capacity. Just calm down, take the information about timelines with a grain of salt, knowing that the team is going to encounter problems they haven't encountered before, and play WoW in the meantime. |

The DArkfall NDA, unlike some NDA's, does not allow you to state you are in the Beta. The MMORPG.com rules are that you do not violate any NDA, even if you are not subject to the NDA yourself. By saying your friend is in the Beta, you are violating the terms of posting on MMORPG.com, even though you are not violating the NDA, since you are not part of the NDA agreement. And anyway, how do you know Tasos' Mom? I heard she's the only one in Beta, and Tasos gets pretty mad at her when she breaks teh NDA.

I personally think we might see an announcement on open beta tomorrow.

/feed open beta will finish EARLY december....not dec. 1st. Reading comp 101. Just shows how much that side of the arguement is in need of material...just making stuff up now.
~~ Darkfall Recap of everything that has happened the last 3 months: http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/213296 "The monsters are tough. I was looking for a challenge, but these things are just too damn smart." -DF Beta Tester "If people were dismissing it, then they wouldn't be talking about it. The well-meaning gamers root for efforts that try to raise the bar. So who's left? It's so easy being a skeptic." -Tasos |

"Open" beta means you don't have to ask Tasos permission to go to the bathroom anymore, and you can just take a break from playing Darkfall, and go whenever you need to.

All the main features of Darkfall have been shown now in screenshots + movies. easily implemented stuff like X + Y = Z-style crafting i don't need to see to accept it's in the game. all the major stuff is obviously there. the only reasonable question is how well it's implemented, not whether it's there or not.
