I'm not trolling, If i'm wrong, ban me from life from this site.  Sound fair ?

but did anyone really doubt it?  I don't think there was a single beta leak that said the game was ready for release.

Do you actually have an substantial reason or proof to your claim? Normally, in the world of statements, we like to see some form of legitimacy.

So is that a prediction, a guess, or actual information? Is there a basis you can share? 

I want to see what a...certain fanbot thinks about this; he has "Darkfall release 25th February!" in his quote.

Sensible fanbots would realize the game needs some more work and should be delayed. Victory for the trolls? Maybe, if you really want to look at it that way. More like a victory for yourselves, though with Aventurine I'm not sure how much of a victory that'll really be. The game kinda has to improve if it's delayed, otherwise the delay wouldn't be justified, so...

Best of luck to you anyways.

I'll have to disagree. Tasos himself told this site just last week there's no truth to the rumors that there would be a delay, (yes , I know, when did I start believing him?) however I also think they've hit the bottom of the well when it comes to cash and they need to get some coming in now. (understandable of course)

Their limited launch will enable them to control the influx of players, and the pent up demand should actually work to their favor, especially if most folks playing really enjoy it.

Of course, I could be wrong, but that's the fun of DF, always trying outguess that sly fox Tasos. 

I dont think my souce would like having it's name displayed here, but so far his been reliable, well it's only 5 days to go, so will see.

As much as I would hope to see a delay, I have it on pretty good authority that that date is going to hold this time, as well as the NDA dropping very soon.

Tasos can't do right for doing wrong at the moment. If he releases on the 25th it will be an unfinished game and the Trolls will have a field day. Equally the same will happen should he push back release to get it finished. Either way he's screwed.

I'm actually starting to feel a bit sorry for him, but I can't help but think he's brought this upon himself to a certain degree.

I think the game will release on the 25th .. but only to pre-orders.

I predict the rest of us will have to wait, possibly for a month or so, while AV use the preorders for the stress test and squash the inevitable bugs.

This isn't a bad thing tho .. the fanbois get to play their game, and will love it even if it is NQR (not quite right), and us normal folk will wait a little longer and will eventually get a quality game upon the 'real release'

If you are looking forward to Darkfall you should cross your fingers that they delay it, there is no way this game will survive in its current state. There are some fundemental issues with the game that need fixing before this game would even have a chance of retaining a healthy subscriber base and said issues will not get fixed in 9 days. If they release on the 25th the game will be Vangaurd all over again.

I seriously can't believe that this will be V:SoH all over again. SOE won't even come close to touching this pile and that is all that saved V:SoH even though Vanguard was much more polished then this turd.

Remember Tacos in his own words said that they turned down some large US distributors which would imply Sony, EA, and others. They won't come back to him again. He cooked his goose back then assuming that he "actually" talked to any of them (I don't believe it for a moment myself)

Except that Vanguard lifted their NDA and started a public open beta almost three weeks before they went live:

www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/109016/OPEN-BETA-HAS-STARTED-NDA-LIFTED.html

It's now 9 days from the latest supposed launch date for Darkfall, and nothing yet. No system specs, no clue about open beta, an NDA still in effect, etc. They're far more secretive than Vanguard ever was. Makes you wonder what they're hiding at this point, at least IMO.

Shrug, obviously you're someone in the know. Here is another

anything can happen

but I agree, I doubt it will be delayed again

people want games to be made yesterday and the best game ever.. please this is a small group of people trying there best to give US the best  game they can make so i don't know why you all freak out when they delay it cause it's not ready in there eyes, you want a bug filled game and missing content like newer games that have come out in the past or you want a game that finaly has all the content and works fine on day 1 ?

well i just hope they get it right cause i know there will be a tone of post about how they screwed it up if it's not

i am not a fan of this game i am just a gamer sick of bad multi player ACTION games and can't wait for a real mmoRPG

  It wont get delayed, they need the money.

Simple fact is a game of this complexity will never be truly done, but from all reports its more then playable now.

Looking forward to it myself, and if they do delay it another month, thats fine too.

I guess the question is rather "can they delay the release?" rather than if they will. Sometimes the money (the lack thereof) won't let a company to postpone their product's release as they wish.

I just remembered, wasn't the date for taking pre-orders 15th February? Maybe that was just a rumor.

So why did you bother posting at all?
 

"Hi, You have cancer!  How do I know?  Well I talked to this guy and he told me... who?  His name isn't important, just trust me"

LAWL?

You can't be serious...

Trolling I guess, unless you can of course contribute some sort of information to the topic than "BECAUSE!!"

Sounds like an answer a parent gives a kid when they beg for a new toy...
