A friend of mine has a girlfriend that works at pc zone, she does page layouts and design for the mag. It's all over the office how a couple of guys managed to pre-order and have been living the "DF" experience so far.

If they publish a review next month it will absolutely slate Darkfall and kill it before they have a chance to fix the problems. Talk is they aren't the only press guys to get an account also.

Myself I'm desperate to at least try it and having been left out in the whole preorder fiasco as I couldn't get onto the site even though I had already downloaded the client and created an account.

Right now it seems unlikely that thousands of people who have followed this game through years of development will ever get to play it as it will be killed before they can even open up sales again.

What a shame, seemed to have so much potential.

Not giving an ETA on new sales just confirms that they are months away from that. They have some money from the willing beta testers that they hope can keep them afloat for another few months before the geniune release but I doubt it wil be enough. Unfortunately for aventurine now they have declated this a release they can't hold back any reviews or label them as beta... it's released product now and it's going to be absolutely slated for it.

You're saying it's an unqualified fail?

That's a 'tad harsh but yep suppose so...

You talk like Darkfall is the next big thing.   It's not.  Aventurine is a new company, trying to make a mmo.  Except for this site fanboys, the game aint known much and Aventurine did next to ZERO publictity.   If they these guys are serious and do a review on DF, i can assure you it would be on the corner of a page down page 56 of their magazine.

Because the entire world reads some dumb magazine.

I'll take a game and review it myself, mind you. Not listen to what someone with totally different tastes than my own says or writes.

very little time has been spent in game.

any game magazine that rates a game on the launch, and the problems surrounding that has no credibility if you ask me.

Then i Suggest it is way too early to make that call. A six-month period would be adequate.

My fiends are in playing from day one i cant get due to them fucking up the billing of the CC they are all lvling up in skills and i have yet to get on. It is not fair that some people get a head start like this.

This whole release has been a fuck up from the start. They should have let us Beta/stress test the servers for free, Preodering should have been done 4 weeks in advance, giving htem a good start on account managment.

If there seriously is a magzine that would destroy a game completely just because it had a very very bad launch I wouldn't wanna buy it anyway. Because I don't think much of the content will be worth reading :)

Do you lot honestly think that Darkfall will release in a good shape?

After all the experience you may have had with the likes of VG, Aoc, WAR and a lot of other MMOs you still think that Darkfall would release in a good shape? ROFL !

Its amazing to see people here complain to be honest, one day i guess you will learn that MMOs dont release perfect, more so for a small development company.

if the game is good after all despite its current issues...no magazine or troll cant do any harm to the game.

The moment a game launches and starts asking for subscriptions, it's fair game.

You're paying for that crap, aren't you?

I paid for the game, money is gone from my pocket, I have a right to complain.

Me  - $  =

Darkfall  + $ =

 Looking at other big companies with so much more resources but still  try to come out with a WoW wana-be,  i will give AV some applause, knowing that they are small and running on limited resources. They still stick to their dream and come out with a different content.

They wont fix the bugs issue fast, that's for sure, but hopefully a few more months down the road they make this a better game. 

Looking at sigil and at VG now, i believe they can make it. 

Provided that Tasos stop talking....

It's ridicilous that people expect a flawless mmo release and experience from an indie developer. WoW has set the standard of how a mmo should be at RELEASE it seems. I'm sure Darkfall will be a great alternative for mmo gamers when the game gets to set in.

Yea, right, expecting to play the game we paid for 5 mins is just rediclous! Outrageous! I have no problem with bugs, I have no problem with server fixes, I do have a problem with taking my money and giving 0 support whatsoever.

Yeah, I guess you can only blame yourself for buying a new MMO right after the launch, especially from an indie company. It might work, It  might not. And there's not a thing you can do. While confirming you have read the EULA and creating the gaming account, you are also accepting all the bullshit excuses you might get.

Only "LULZ EPIC FAILZOR" is to buy the unfinished product and hope it would work.

Yet players act like Adventurine killed their family dog.

If they don't get their shit together after a while though, I can understand how people would get really frustrated.

Threads like this are idiotic.  WoW had major issues at launch also.  OMG if they had written an article at WoW launch it would be over.  Like another said any "credible" review site would wait a while before doing a review.
