If the game was in trouble after release, and needed, say a million dollars within 30 days or it will close down... how much would you chip in to keep it going? Remember: this is niche community, so we all have to do our part.

If you go to your local grocery store, and the lady at the checkout tells you "excuse me, but we are going through difficulties, can you give us an extra X dollars please?" would you do it? |

What would you do if that store then closed down and you had to travel extra miles to the next one, and then they closed down as well because of your greed? Unfortunately, we only have one Darkfall. Don't blow it.

If they were honest from the start i might think about it. But AV if they asked it would almost be like they knew from the start. Un fortunately friend this is what people have been talking about when it comes to lack of respect for customers...you dont get it unless you give it. I want DF to succeed but am really dissapointed with AV's efforts and they have lost a lot of respect from me....they need to release a solid game now to get it back. No one has to earn respect from me. everyone single person i will ever meet will start with respect.....it's up to them whether they lose it or gain more! |

I don't have words to describe your arguments there Venomous. Call me greedy then, but i sure hope they rot and go to the bankrupt vidogame company hell, maybe in a next life they will know that lies dont pay off

Oh wow. We're already starting to see Funcom levels of anger and bitterness being directed towards Aventurine for their business practises, and the game hasn't even had a chance to release yet. Time to break out the fire extinguishers, things are only going to get hotter around here... |

I guess the old saying is wrong. There is such a thing as a stupid question. OH MY GOD WE'RE SURROUNDED! SEND FOR BACKUP! DIG IN DEFENSIVE POSITIONS! MAN YOUR NECKBEARDS!!! I'll pre order you SWTOR if you let me put my lightsaber in your sarlaac cave. |

Why would they need money?
Everyone knows the preorder alone will at least triple their company value.

Shit, no. It's a business and they deserve a hard time if they are not able to deliver their product due to "unexpected" cost increases (bad business plan then). |

First of all paying a resonable price for reasonable service instead of being milked for a companies incompetance is not greed. Other indie developers managed to succeed by thier own merits(CCP etc) why should we make Tasos and Aventurine a charity? Second there are other MMO's like MO that promise alot of the samethings that DF does so the whole "OMG if Darkfall doesn't survive we're all doomed!" Line is pretty silly. PR in and of itself is not rocket science (or should i say computer science?) If a company is clueless and stupid in the basics of PR chances are they are not computer geniuses either. Point being we aren't "blowing it" if Darkfall fails its Aventurine and Tasos who blew it. |
