Im a long time DF player, while im not playing right now, i cant gurantee you that the 5000 people playing DF wont put a dent into this games rating on this site.  In fact out of those 5k player about 50 actually love the game lol.  Expect the games rating to drop along with a lot of people making fun of tasos if the people from forumfall actually come here.

Also...lets hope he put as much time into 2.0 as he apparently put into working on his biceps while we all played a busted beta for several years XD

I personally find it hilarious that there seem to be individuals on this site that are offended that Darkfall is being talked about/hyped at all.

Believe it or not, there is a very large community that loves Darkfall.

Darkfall appels to a certain group of gamers, nothing wrong with that.  I hope it succeeds.  I never said the hype meter was necessarily wrong, and I probably underestimated the size of the fanbase, but you have to admit links like the OP's might net the game a "hype reset" (it could be seen as manipulation if they notice).

Manipulation is dev incentives to vote for a game, showing more people interested in the game this website isn't manipulation.

You realize that DF:UW is a brand new game that was announced less than a week ago, yes?

Get madder bro.  We are trying to express our excitement or hype about a game in a medium that lets us.  That is what the hype thing is about.  Downvote the hype if you want to, as that is what you can do if you aren't excited about it.  It's just that most people don't come here.  I just came here to cast a hype to get people to know about this game.  It's not vandalization or abuse, I just don't normally have a reason to come here.

To justify my hype im going to be posting on the forums a bit though.  Who knows, yall might have a couple game reviewers emerge out of this. 

Actually I been a DarkFall folower since 2006. I was even fortunate enough to get into the beta long before release. After reading about the game for years, falling in love with the idea then having my heart ripped out because it was so TERRIBLE I'm keeping my expectations EXTREAMLY low.... like underground on this one.

It's against the rules of this site to band together for the purpose of swaying the hype meter. The last thing this game needs is unessesary hype so it can be added to the list with all the other overhyped games that sucked.

Rules about the hype meter

Game List

Ratings and Hype-meter

In regards to game ratings and hype-meter voting, we reserve the right to remove unfairly obtained votes and, as needed, suspend voting on games deemed to have been given unfair votes. The amount of time voting will be suspended is dependent upon how long MMORPG.com believes it will take before fair voting will again occur.

In the case of ratings and hype-meter votes, "unfair votes" are determined by MMORPG.com staff and specifically include (but are not limited to):

• Those solicited by game companies asking for a particular rating ("go rate our game a 10").
• Those solicited by game companies offering any kind of compensation or contest.
• Those registered by single users under multiple accounts.

Hopefully it dosent suck...

Thumbs up for assumptions , amirite?

You realize your quote doesn't support at all what you've said? The game company isn't soliciting the votes, the thread was made by a player.

Lame you got nothing on GW2, look at the hit meter GW2 still has up to 7x more hits per any day,week,month,6-months or year than the 2nd game, and where is Darkfall 2.0 there ?

I dont care if Darkfall or 2.0 or GW2 are good games or bad games, im not even gonna touch that with a ten foot poll.

But what i can tell you is that Darkfall 2.0 will never in a million years get the ammount of publicity, hit rating and hype(relative to number of voters) that GW2 has had and continues to have.

In this thread there are only 4 pages in a time frame of what 1 day, for GW2 regardless of if it was a flame,troll,bait,fanboi or bash post there was 50 pages per day for each topic, thats how much more popular GW2 was and is compared to a niche game like Darkfall 2.0.

Again im just comparing publicity and speed ammount of fanboi and hater comments and publicity hyping, nothing else.

Fans of the game always hype the game at 10's and 9's when it's first listed on the site. This isn't anything new.

Truth be told, I don't see how anyone who is excited for the game would rate it less than a nine - They don't have anything else to be hyped about.

Excuse us for being excited about our game >.<

Point me to a game that offers the same things and I'll gladly play it.

 EVE online.

If you want real time combat, Mortal Online. 

However, I understand that you were just trying to imply that darkfall is the only game to offer the sort of gameplay darkfall offers. 

I also understand now were all these posters that weren't posting about DF a month ago came from.  It's the darkfall community trolling the forums.

 I think you may have accidentally worded the last part wrong.   I'm not fighting against the momentum of history, because the history is that AV made a game, game didn't do at all well, and AV decided to remake the game. 

Sounds to me like the only people fighting against the momentum of history are the people hyping a game they've yet to experience first hand.  Sounds awfully familliar. 

PS: looking at your join date and post count, I"m assuming you weren't here for round one.  The hype didn't benefit the game the first time around, and if history is any indication then it's very unlikely that it's going to go any better this time.

You forgot the part about Aventurine making a ton of money and missed out on much much more because their initial investment was too small. The infastructure exist this time around and they have 4 years of beta testing to rely upon. The demand for this type of game is huge. It will be a bridge to join old school gamers with an entire generation of themeparkers who are dying for something new.

Are you serious? 

Grass is only blue if I paint it blue.  And showing you a picture of green grass that I say is blue really doesn't help me any. 

My god, he actually says, in not so many words, the game wasn't feasible to fix.  Never mind the subscription reduction, EU players going to the NA server to find more players to play with, actual fans who have been telling AV to do something to get more poeple in the game, or the fact that most of the people that tried it quit. 

Yes, it did just fine; that's why they decided to remake the entire game.

 Yes, AV did make a ton of money from their defense contract.

I didn't link the video you think I did. Watch the video first and see how DF's launch was successful for AV.

Half the people posting in this thread didn't even read past the thread title on the DF forums.

I'll highlight the important bit for you lazy bastards:

"You can see posting this thread has not had a large impact on the hype of this game. The hype is nearly the same. The reason I address this is because of a separate thread created on the topic."

The thread on the DF forums was specifically made to address a thread on these forums, not to increase hype, which as clearly stated (with numerical evidence to back it up) has had little to no impact on the hype ratings.

Conspiracy theory invalidated. Insert another coin and try again.

 Nice thing about making a documentary about yourself?  You can make yourself look as good or as bad as you choose. 

That's not evidence the game did well. 

AV was making money, and successful before they ever made a game.  Darkfall is not the reason they had success; anyone that knows anything about the kind of work and contracts AV has knows this.
