Richard Duffek, with the aid of many dedicated MMORPG.com community members, has just completed an exclusive interview with several members of the Darkfall development team. Little information has been released on this game in recent months, so we hope this lengthy interview will satisfy! A preview below:

http://www.aventurine.gr Has not published any other games apparently, EVER. Website has nothing but a logo. So where does this website go?
Nor do they have any offices in the United States, just a rented server from the planet (which anyone can get for less than 100 dollars a month, I have one).
The DNS server serving their domain as well as darkfallonline.com? Razorwax! Why is this company STILL lying about having a publisher? Why are people believing their lies? Why are they being given credibility via third party websites when they have produced nothing except for a lie about a publisher that does not exist? Sorry, this game is still vapor. |

thanks for fowarding my questions guys =]. hmmmm it may be vapor it may not either way it dont matter |

Well, I guess if someone named "hmmmmmm" says its vapor then it must be true :P The interview is a very encouraging sign. Shows they are in fact not dead and still working. Whether the game hits the light of day is anyones guess. But at least the fans know there is still things going on. Its a very unique game with unique ideas. No other mmorpgs on the market(besides a dying SB), or in development are attempting many of the things DF is. That alone could make it successful. |

Thanks for posting this Darkfall interview ! :) |

I'm perpetually amazed by the fact that people have such a hard time believing that games can be more or less self-published. Also, relevant quote from the interview itself (because reading is for winners and whatnot): "Darkfall Team: So yes, really, Aventurine and Razorwax are one and the same. We know Aventurine exists, because people have gone to their offices in Athens. Incidentally, that's where the only video of Darkfall in motion comes from - a few seconds of grass billowing in the breeze and waves rocking a boat snapped in the summer of 2003 by Deyth during his visit to the Aventurine offices. Anyways, besides the nigh-inevitable cuffing of naysayers and axe-grinders, the interview made me happy. Not a whole lot of new information in there for longstanding followers of the game, but it's nice to hear the devs speaking again, and it's also encouraging to hear that they are currently in what could be considered to be a 'final polish' stage of development. Ah, the "soon(TM)" of Darkfall beta is now slightly sooner than before... |

People, people, hands down the game is vapor. All they have to show in years of their existance is a new website with animated dragon flying. Seriously, five or so years ago they said the beta is going to happen "within a month" Now, they do have some wonderful concepts scripted in the game, yet "secodn Morning" is written all over that enterprise.

Great interview! Thanks for posting my questions also. |

Great Questions. Even for a long time fan of this game I thought I got a good read in your article and I'm glad you managed to get it!

Then why lie about it. Claus Grovdal (Producer - Lead Designer): The whole thing actually started out as a joke. We had the first meeting with the Aventurine team in Athens, Greece, and sometime during the meeting, someone joked that it would probably be better if we just moved there. The idea caught wind when Aventurine came to Oslo, Norway a few weeks later, and realized they were in one of the most expensive countries of the world. After that, relocating became a matter of business sense. Moving to Greece meant we could spend more money on game development, and less money on the cost of living and taxes. http://www.mmorpgdot.com/index.php?hsaction=10053&ID=715 If there were nothing to hide, there would be no reason to lie. A simple search through their forums will show you all of the past news and forum posts where they claim that they had "found" a publisher a couple of years ago. So now we know this to be a lie, they did not "find" a publisher they "manufactured a fake publisher". So the question still stands, a company that has produced nothing of substance other than lies about having a publisher is given credibility, why? |

Why don't you play a game that is already released instead of shouting VAPOR at every game in development cause that just makes you look stupid. Btw the df devs don't need to prove us anything. Unless for weirdoes like you that think they have more brains than someone else when they shout VAPOR at something in DEVELOPMENT. That's pretty retarded hehe Reality is the illusion that arises by lack of alcohol! |

so your sayin' that Aventurine is owned by Razorwax and is one in the same entity and they just moved to Greece because labor and living is so much cheaper? If thats the case this game might as well be cancelled right now.
and sadly no one can escape the fact that nothing relevant over a period of 4 years has ever been released from this project... """I don't see the devs lying about it. Aventurine is a new publisher, what's wrong with that?"""
Well video games were banned in Greece. So there are no publishing companies in Greece. Theres no reason for them to exist there. |

Thanks for posting my questions also. I wish they would have shown some actual screens instead of just graphic models.
Im in between in that argument.
