Ok this game was apprentyl released on 02/23/09 and they still have not fully opened game sales yet?? 

I am seriously thinking Darkfall managment is fucking retarded, are they waiting for more promising games to get released and steal whatever thunder is left from this game??

Personally i am giving Darkfall until 1 week from today, if sales are still closed i bascically say fuck Darkfall, and move my attention to a game where i dont get fucked around with stories and excuses as to the state of playability....and from what i have heard this is like a Vanguard release....and therefore doomed to fail.

Anyone have any info on WTF is going on with this game??

Noone knows what Aventurine are doing.

The only thing we do know is that they currently sets the game before sales. They seems not to give a fuck that many wants it.

Thats a new motto for business?  I agree with the making sure the game is stabel fun etc, but why release it and limit sales...pretty ridiculous if you ask me, although from what i heard they went bankrupt and had no choice.

Regardless they should give a fuck what players want, as there current motto will lead players astray kinda like what happend when SOE took the fun out of SWG.

I do not know anything about Aventurine going bankrupt.

But they do work hard on the game, thats for sure. Sometimes problems are handled within the hour, and patches happens all the time. So atleast there is alot of people working on it.

LOL...

you guys are just now understanding that darkfail had a botched launch?  Thank god I got a refund from my credit card company a week after it released after i knew how bad that game was...

Bring it on fanboys...

Well, we are talking about sales. Not the game. Wich is fine.

No one is argueing that the launch was bad dude, so stfu. Its no secret, why act like you were only one who knew. State of people.

The game is good, im enjoying it, most freedom ive had in a mmo for ages. Im no fanboy, but i just hate idiots who think they are elite or something, damn if you hate the game fine. Other people like it so why even waste your time posting.

ive tried the game.... lets just say that it doenst live up the expectation

This company is exact opposite of SOE u fucking retard. SOE is a multi billion dollar corporation. AV is a small indie company, and they actually care about the game they are making. Maybe at the moment they dont want to make millions? Not everyone is a capatalist dog. The time will come when they will open more servers and the company will earn more and be able to hire more people.

People with small brains like you should just hang themselves. Eugenics FTW.

So you think Aventurine isn't out to make money?   Capitalist dogs are the ones allowing you to play MMOs right now.  MMos aren't art.  They never were.   If Avenrturine actually had a product that could make them millions, they would take it in a second.  Don't think they're out for anything other than profit.  Theres no game without it.

 So many idiots, so little time....

Do you know what sold out means?  Have you ever wanted something new and it was sold out?  This phenomenon usually occurs around Christmas, but has been known to crop up now and again.

They didn't botch anything.  ALL MMOs have server issues - get over it  (ESPECIALLY smaller companies).  The fact that they are SOLD OUT of copies does NOT constitute messing anything up.  Putting up additional servers isn't as easy or cheap as you think.  Also, they are probably making sure everything on ONE server is working fine before they put up more.  People are so spoiled these days (looking at you WAR!).

I'm not saying whether or not the game is good, but seriously stop trolling.

I have heard of games being sold out on store shelves, but I have never heard of a digital distribution game being sold out.
 

THey didn't botch anything? It's now been quite some time since release and they still have major server issues. No, not every MMORPG has such serious server issues. Do you think you saying "Get over it" and "It's a small company" excuses it? It doesn't. If you're going to charge like the big boys, you better bring service that can compare to the big boys.

They are making sure everything works on one server before they put up more? What other mmorpg did this as well....ah right, nearly all of them, except they called it a Beta.

Game is fantastic , currently the best MMO experience. Sour grapes me thinks...

It still is a Beta. Go see the public website for yourself:

    IT doesnt make much business sense to turn away potential customers and limit access......I jsut dont think Aventurine understands this business at all......I imagine they have lost at least 100,000 potential customers that would have bought the game at release......Alot of people will not come back....often you only get one chance in MMOs to convince people to play your game......If you make it too much of a hassle people simply move on.......Now if they can succeed by doing business this way then more power to them but they have cost themselves a ton of money already.

All games have a beta :D

They cant afford second server so only thing they can do is limit sales so people wouldnt have 7 hours long queues.

It's a shitty game anyway. Don't bother with it. 

Oh darn, one less player for Darkfall's already overflowing server. No, Mr. Original Poster, please don't give up yet.

Don't be stupid, i beg of you.

The game isnt being "sold out" for one. AV is basically having a limited release, as they put it. The reality of it is that they are beta testing the rest of the game with a limited number of players. These players pay to play the game, but in reality they are testing all of Darkfalls features, testing how gameplay turns out, testing server stability...ect, once they are ready, they will actually release the game completely.

So, to recap, AV is charging a limited ammount of people to beta test the game, only there wont be a wipe. Think of it as a closed beta that anyone was able to apply for while keys were available, only its dubbed a release and you pay for it.
