Ok I'm going to sound like a complete moron but I am sort of new to this whole MMORPG thing I've only played WoW. But anyways.. I look at the rankings I guess on the main page and noticed Darkfall was recieving "Hits"      from my understanding a "Hit" meant like a download or for every 1 hit = 1 new player?

How is Darkfall recieving more hits than other games when it isn't even released? Even if there is a beta its doubling some other popular MMOs     Could someone inform me on this lol. Thanks

I assume they mean page hits from people looking at DF related information / forums.

Take the blue pill (the matrix blue pill)

Why bother to know about something don't work like WoW and do all the the stuff that requires learning new and challenging stuff ..

The red pill must feel to dangerous for you WoW corrupted senses..take the blue pill and these post and your question never happened..

From what I figure, it's just the number of unique visits the game in question receives on this website.

So today, the Darkfall section received 7,000 unique hits on MMORPG.com.

This kind of response is why you should avoid Darkfall. You'll be playing with people like this who completely ignore what you said and assume just because you said you played WoW that you won't be cut out for their game.

1 hit = 1 person visiting the game's page on this site, one UNIQUE visitor so the same person isn't counted more than once per 24 hours. Yes the game isn't out yet.

While I agree that what Darth said has nothing to do with what the OP asked, your retort was completely asinine. To tell someone that they should avoid a game because one person posted an irrelevant remark is absolutely foolish. It would take me no more than 10 seconds on any official forum for any currently released game to find a thread where people post irrelevant shit, or World of Warcraft hatred.

Grow up.

I take it you guys didn't like the matrix.

this thread is fail.

This is the reason why  you should play Darkfall. Nice people with understanding about other players and with the ability to think : )

Talk about rude. Seriously, dude, get a  grip and stop attacking people who ask real questions. The OP obviously had a real question and instead of answering his questions like a normal person, you rather be rude. 

Have fun attacking people this way and driving off any potential customers for your precious game. And to the OP, the above posters explained what it means and let me apologize for Darthraiden's response.

Wait wait wait.. Your telling the guy that called out Darth for being an idiot to grow up? I think you have some growing up to do sir.

Typical example as to why I plan on avoiding Darkfall like the plague.

And to think that I decided to read this topic thinking it would be flamer-free. Sigh.

-Edit-
Completely scrapped. These tags are messed up. Fixing.

I was actually going for the "Darkfall community, as represented thus far, will be pretty bad" card. Looks like Lydon also played the aforementioned card.

Oh my bad, missed that. But seriously, that does not mean just because he plays WOW he should not know every little piece of MMO information.

this is awesome.. Just because he played WoW (just like the majority of MMORPG players..) he isn't allowed to play Darkfall.. That's some classic shit right here.. is anyone writing this down????

It's like "Hi, I played WoW.."  At this point the Darkfall Fanboy brain turns off, and starts with the response "Don't play Darkfall" completely ignoring the rest of the post. 

Thanks.. One more reason the "fanbois" should be warned/removed more than the "trolls/skeptics"...

Alas..

That sounds like a fair argument. After all, you're taking into consideration the Darkfall community housed here in MMORPG.com, right? Correct me if you are indeed including the community on Darkfall official forums or other fan/MMO sites.

Granted my assumption is correct, and you are indeed referring to the "Darkfall community, as represented thus far here on MMORPG.com," it sounds like a very narrow group of people to base your conclusions on.

You can count all the people who spend most of their day writing hate posts about Darkfall, or the people who fanatically preach Tasos' words as if he's some kind of MMO prophet without having to use all the fingers on your hands. Those people are a really small part of the community, and not an accurate depiction of the average person that will be playing Darkfall(i.e.: the people you will run into casually in-game).

This community seems no different in comparison to any other section on this site, or any official forum for any other released game. You'll always have idiots who post irrelevant shit, or act like idiots(redundancy!). Now, I'm no Darkfall-lover, but it seems like your reasons for avoiding this game(or telling others to), could be very easily applied to any other game. With that in mind, have you ever played an MMO? I'm sure everyone you ran into on every single MMO you played has been a saint who volunteers at a homeless shelter, adopts orphans, and posts very "knowledgeably" on the official forums for said game.

I don't think you and Lydon really believe that. It's okay, I'm angry that I haven't had a chance to try the game yet, either, and it's 10 days from release. Tell you what: when we do get to try it, look me up and we'll hold hands and skip down a virtual meadow.

Hehe, yes, I was referring to MMORPG.com. And while there are very few who go to the extremes on either side of the fanboy/troll fence, there are many who are close. Worshipping Tasos' words isn't far from defending his most rediculous decisions or his arrogant character after all. Then there's a less severe degree of fanboyism below that, such as defending his decisions but not his character, and so on and so forth. Yes, every game has these people, but the degree of which that are found in Darkfall is unprecedented, at least to me. The game is promising so much and it's such sweet music to peoples' ears that they even defend the most rediculous of Aventurine's business stratagems, such as not telling consumers standard, useful information 10 days to launch.

I guess I'm applying a stereotype to most fanboys and I agree that's unfair. However, it's natural to assume that if one person belongs to a certain group, then other people who belong in that group will be similar, if not the exact same, as that one person.

I think everyone is a little confused    I never stated I wanted to play or had any intention of even learning about Darkfall     It was a simple question about how the ranking system worked on the front page       I don't see how this turned in a discussion about the Darkfall game/community         lol.
