and its this kind of thinking that leads companies to charging for open betas and using pre orders to begin with.......This is why we get crap like AoC and WAR is because guys like you just hand over the money with thinking its cheaper than buying rounds at the pub.......Most of us are probably a little more careful with how we throw our money around and wait to see some reviews and opinions on things before handing them that 50 dollars. |

The computers DXdiag with which I applied to beta with died recently last year, so I would have to resurrect it with a new hardvrive and few other non essential bits and bobs in the unlikely event that I did get in. Unless of course they are past hardware specific testing and its no longer relevant, in which case it will rest in cannibalized pieces. |

I signed up for Beta, and my DxDiag is strong enough to enter the beta, but i think there will be no such open beta but "open", likewise. If i enter someday in this game i will renegate from my former - it means, my current skepticism -. Another release date delay. And it goes on...

Oh.. Look. It's cute. He's making fun... Oh.. it's adorable!! Look at him try to start an internet fight.. What a silly head.. I regret buying Final Fantasy 11. and I have a Job. One that pays well, too. Just because you have the money to blow on a video game, doesn't mean you should. But with that being said, I'll buy Darkfall Blindly without trying it. If it's good, then I'll play it. If it's not.. that I have the right to have an opinion to say so. Currently playing Real Life.. http://i36.tinypic.com/2uyod3k.gif For all your stalking needs.. |

Not trying to start a fight, just don't understand why anyone thinks they deserve something for free.
If you goto the movies, you don't get to go see the movie for free to see if its to your likings before you pay. etc..etc..etc.. like everything else in life
nothing is really free
read reviews and wait if you don't wanna waste your cash, i've always pre-ordered any game i'v'e wanted, console or pc... but no company, owes you a damn thing o_O

Laws (at least in the US) are in place to keep businesses honest. You can't make claims to sell a product, then not back up those claims. It's false advertising. If you go on record saying You will "try the game before you buy it" then not offer that as an option.. your first statement is a lie. The person you are telling to "get a job" is right. People should really re-think preordering this game with as little information is out, as well as buying anything from a company that has the track record of another Fly by night MMORPG company.

Given Av's past I expect maybe a couple of thousand in a Closed Beta extension. Just take every thing they say and minimize performance while maximizing secrecy and you have at least a ball park guess. And no I do not expect an invite any more than I expect to win the Power Ball. |

if you advertise your going to let people in early or get beta previews for pre-orders, then you definately should be liable to give that or be in trouble leagally i had pre-ordered AOC , got the card that had the keys to get in on early access and all that junk and when putting all that info in, it told me there was no more room def bad buisness it's one thing about saying people should re-think preordering this game is not that they don't give you a free trial, or whatever, its the fact that this game has been in development and pushed back so long that theres a chance they'll take your money and run that should be the worry but honestly, you should re-think this with any game now adays, too many have been shut down or killed off soon after release

I remember right b4 Warhammer released the Dev's said that the beta was all about 'polish, polish, polish'. I bought into the hype and bought the game. The game was fun until you actually started the main feature of RvR. After that it was not 'polish, polish, polish'. It was 'crash to desktop, crash to desktop, crash to desktop'. I'll wait and see darkfall goes, and save myself some money by not ordering it if it is bunk. |

Grinding is the worst idea ever integrated into a game... I would much rather have fun. |

Like all other previous promises of an "OPEN BETA" date...Aventurine will once again lie. Their idea of an open beta's, a closed beta with 250 invitations given to NDA signed, appointees... Ridiculous. ------------------------------- |

Im positive! I know Tasos you know. He's my bud irl so i have no issue getting into the Beta.
Phew, now when i've gotten that off me. I don't think so, over the past years i've rarely got a invitation to a closed beta testing with a fixed amount of places. So meh, i doubt it. Though im alpha-testing some games at the moment that just invited me which was a big surprise to me :o The speed of the mole and the power of steel is my weapon |
