I remember having to make a thread just like this just to get you guys to do an interview when darkfall first launched ( and we all remember what a swell guy Tasos was for that one ).

So here we are 4? months after the EU launch and now in the middle of an NA launch and yet, no review.

We had to ask you to do the interview because no other well known legitimate gaming site's were given one. And now we have to ask you to finally do a review for the same reason.

Are you still waiting for Tasos to give you a free account so you can review it? Because he won't and we all know it.

So, do you plan to plunk down the $50 and finally give your site's opinion on Darkfall?

I realize you enjoy the forum traffic brought by fanbots and trolls fighting non-stop, but I think it's time you guys climb off the fence and let us all know your opinion of the game.

Of course, you'll risk Tasos having a shit fit if you don't give his baby a glowing review, but that's part of the job, right?

Edit: And I mean one of your real reviewers. Personally, I'd prefer Stradden, since he's known to love PvP, so noone can claim he's a "WoW sheep" or "carebear"  ( although the fanbots inevitably will, anyway ).

ill donate my eu account for it

Did they even announce the expansion launch?

There is no rule saying they have to review it. Paid beta not beta, launch but beta still but launched. DF has so many stages of launch right now maybe they are giving it time to figure out where it is in development so they can give it a fair review. But at the same time it is such a blip on the screen right now that they may not be in any hurry either.  There doesnt seem to be to many fence sitters left. You either are DF or you arent at this point it appears.

The game launched. They accepted money and now even launched another server in a second country (NA).

Anyone who tries to say the game is not released is deluding themselves looking for a reason for justification for the game's faults.

And no, mmorpg.com doesn't HAVE to review it. But in the interest of their readers and their site in general, I think it's high time they did.

In fact, mmorpg.com even said they were going to. They said they were trying to get an account and were being ignored. This was at the time of the interview, roughly 4 months ago. Nothing said afterwards.

I would suggest a "sneak" review.

Reason being, then Aventurine can't "pull the play logs" and claim that MMORPG.Com only played 12.75 hours, when they should have played at least 13.

I would personally like to see a reveiw here also, maybe at the 6 month mark?

Edit: I'd also like to see Morgan Webb  give a review, but I doubt that will ever happen.

Hmmm, I am not so sure that they dare to make one, it would turn into the bigest flame war the forum ever seen whatever the score would be.

The noob comic made a joke about Tasos and Zitron and was gone the next day from the site, too many people have very strong opinions about the game and are not interested to make a normal discussion. When people (who love or hate the game) have a solid opinion they can't change whatever the arguments they get a discussion is useless and everything just turns into a flame war.

It might just be the best to keep a low profile here and not awake the trolls. It would just work our poor mods to death trying to clean up the debate and send warnings to everyone.

The problem is that one of the groups of trolls only see the good parts of the game and makes a crusade against anyone mentioning a bad feature while the other group is the straight opposite.

And a good review would therefor upset them all. Anyone who only can see good things or bad things is a fanatic.

So I rather have that review in a year or so when things finally calmed down.

And surprisingly, no Darth's yet telling us how mmorpg.com has no value because they don't censor bad remarks toward the game.

I would love to see mmorpg.com review and how much points it would give to DF. But it can get high score only if reviewer is obsessed with PvP and stupid drama of clans. If not, we will see something like eurogamer re-review.

About a week shy of five months.

I'm sure they'll get around to a review as soon as the game releases.  

No, I mean the real game, you know, with all the features that were promised at launch.

I dont doubt its released but there is a lot of debate on it at the same time. Reviewing DF is a lose/lose propostition really for this site as no matter how it swings it loses. However my bet is they give it a 6.8 or something along those lines if they did. Thats one of those..not to bad but not to good scores or in other words very average which although probable the fans still will not accept. They most likely will now that the supposed expansion has released.

I would love to see a review.

Mayhaps they should dual-review it. That way two people can try to help each other out. Apparently this is a game where you need someone to watch your back.

IF darkfall scraped a 5 from mmorpg I'd be shocked.  The games got a nifty shock factor, but once you realize the game is just naked people running around ganking eachother you see how shallow it is.  It's missing a ton of promised features, whats in there doesnt work half the time.  I bought it and didnt resub, its not worth it.  Im all for hardcore pvp ala good ol ultima, but in todays raid and gear happy market a game like this probably wont make it, and it sure as hell wont make it broken.  4/10 is about right but still generous from euro.

This is the best Darkfall thread ever.

I finally figured out how to keep all the fanbots out: make a thread asking for something they desperately do NOT want to see.

You just had to troll you own thread, didn't you ? 

Couldnt it be we agree on the topic and the question in OP  for once ?

Actually, just wanted to get it back on the front page where the staff will see it now that the weekend is over and they're back.

And thanks for the bump.

Edit: And it's my thread, so it's hardly trolling.

Edit 2: Holy crap! I just realized you typed in two almost grammatically perfect sentences AND didn't insult the site.

Where's the real Darth, you bastage?

Still no response from staff?

Come on, drink your morning coffee and then get in here!

I don't think the staff wants to do a review..That means they have to work harder to delete more threads/post

well when Darkfall actually becomes an MMO

i don't think enough people play it yet to call it an MMO

and darkfall isn't really a MMORPG it's more of a FPS game like battlefield execept much worse and you have to pay 15 bucks/mon

I think you have guessed the correct answer.

Let's look at the answer to this question a bit more in depth.

Here is a little table to illustrate why this is a mysterious question indeed.

The MMOs I included in the table above are those that have been released around the same time as DarkFall AND have at least one of the following: 

• Enough reviews by mmorpg.com users to qualify for a User Score
• OR have had a review done by MMORPG.COM (some obviously have both).

I have also included some MMOs that were released BEFORE DarkFall where one of the following conditions was met as well. 

I also included the number of threads in each MMO's Gen. Dis. Forum area to give an idea of how popular they are here at mmorpg.com. 

I have tried to be factual in the above table, if there is any error in the above info please point it out as that is not the intent.

It would seem logical that MMORPG.COM might use the number of posts in a given MMOs forum to guage how much interest a particular MMO has to warrant doing a Review or not.

The only other MMO that seems to even come close to being in an identical situation as DarkFall is Atlantica Online.  They too have not had an official Review from MMORPG.COM and they have a fair amount of user interest (albeit a far cry from DarkFall's).

Those numbers above are the facts as it relates to MMORPG.COM and their Reviews.

Judge for yourself if you think that MMORPG.COM is dragging their feet on getting out a Review of DarkFall.
