Thanks a lot guys, I'll just start over w/ a new character and read about setting up the perfect pirate character & race. I don't like the name of my character and it's best to start over to gain new SP. I'll be resub tonight and fool around for 1 week then possibly join a corp.

Well you won't have tons of skillpoints racked up waiting for you to spend if that's what you were thinking.  But you may have some skills trained that you wouldn't have to retrain by starting over completely.

yea, I was wondering about the skillpoint racking up. I thought the skillpoints continue racking up while your account was inactive but nvm I guess you've to be subscribed. 

I finally found my lost account I created 4yrs ago back in 2006, and I created two characters but I quit the game after the first week because I was mad I wasn't able to control my ship freely. There has been two characters being inactive for 4yrs and I know inactive account still considered active and gain pts overtime, and I'm wondering will it benefit me if I played my 1 week old character that has been sitting in the dust for 4yrs? I want to become a perfect pirate in this game!!!

The whole community of asshat are all Alfars. I'm having the worst time being an Alfar, I get ganked by my own race for no reason and once I go red they're all on me. I like Alfars, I'm pretty hardcore but I hate playing with assholes. I started playing and 10 minutes go by and I get a tell by some assclown "You're going to quit in 2 days, I guarantee that" WTF??? 

I should've gone with the wolf people!

Anyone has been having problems playing TCOS on windows 7?

The only thing I read is negative thread full of haters that obviously want Darkfall to fail. I haven't read one thread that's postive without bashing DF; I dislike keen reviews so that doesn't count and his review is 1 day early. You guys say that the community on DF's offical forum is crap, well you should have a reality check because this community right here is total garbage... Anyways, I'll be enjoying Darkfall while the rest of you play hello kitty themepark.

This game is made for Carebears! There isn't going to be no looting, piracy, fucking faction base like Wow, and top of that it isn;t going to be like classic. Screw this game, you carebears want to play this POS? go ahead.. I will be playing a real pvp game.

The OP obviously plays runescape or else he would've made his point of view in one post..

to me it just sounds like ND is betraying their fanbase. Their fanbase who has played their previous game for 8 years and is still running. All we want is a PVP server with similar game rules as the previous one.

Meaning

-Death penalty with insurance for ship and equip. Yes you get 90% of your money back when u die.  Pirates are not insured because of bounty.

-Multinational squads/guilds

-Pirating. not looting, but Pay or Die, or stealing cargo while the other players still alive.. works in JGC.

-No or very low awards for instanced PVP.

-No safe zones in Open Space, with regulated and unregulated space.. bounty for killing non pvp tagged players in regulated space. Free for all in unregulated. maybe even put some Ai patrols if needed in core sectors to make it safer for noobs.

 

I cant come up with more now.. but those are the main points. 

  But why would you want the same game as the previous one, dont you already have that?

Why release a game similar to other shitty games that other companies have released? There isn't really any sandbox type game with full looting especially sci-fi. the only one that currently support freedom, full pvp, looting, and semi piracy is eve-online; if Netdevil wants to compete with eve than they need to step up their game and stop bullshitting their loyal fanbase that've been following jumpgate for a while. Netdevil appealing to the majority fanbase is saling out... Jumpgate evolution is basically an upgraded version of the original but it most likely wont suceed.

My name is arrmatey ingame. I'd be great if you donated me money thanks.

This is an update about what is happening today:

We have sent out the first wave of invites to our Friends and Family. We will send more waves of invites within a few hours. Invited friends and Family will be able to download the Darkfall installer.

We are applying the latest patch, and Friends and Family will be able to start patching soon, and entering the game.

We are spacing out the invites in order to facilitate the download of the client. We will continue sending out more invites every day to Friends and Family until we reach our capacity.

Since this first phase has to do with stress testing the servers, and doing final testing on features, we are not lifting the NDA until this testing is concluded.

We apologize for the problems with the forums and the website today, we haven't  payed our server's fee and  experiencing time-outs, and we are working to repay the server's fee. Please donate to us!

I do not see any evidence of this what-so-ever in your post. I believe you should brush up on your terms.

 

Your savior, Tasos stated: "next week, we'll release torronts info on for the Beta". It doesn't have to be released on CDS to be Gold, there's plenty of games that has been release through the web. Tasos, your savior, said: "The game is completed. We're just getting prepared for servers to maintain 10k population".

 

I can quote Tasos all day.

 

You should probably read some of my posts before you call me a fanboi.

Ok, but you're interested in Darkfall like I am, you can't denied that unless you're a TROLL.

You people...He didn't say open beta will be on the 15th, he said there will be one. Darkfall rumours spread like wildfire.

Tasos, your savior, said  "Open beta will be released 1 week before release" That means Jan 15, 09.

If anyone want to provide any proof that open beta will be release soonier or later please do.

 I made my thread to make fun of you guys.

... you guys are just taking this thing too seriously, that's all. 

Other than that, I'm not taking any sides: I'll believe it when I see it.

I assume you're talking to Darkfanbois because I'm not that serious, obsess, or consider myself a darkfanboi even through my first mmorpg was sandbox.

Now please stop making replicated threads about "is dakfall goin 2 be release in jan, 22?"

Tasos (Your savior) said: "Darkfall is going to be release on Jan, 22, and there will be an open beta on Jan, 15, 2009".

Please stop, I am more disappointed on Tasos not delaying Darkfall than I am reading your replicated thread 100 times. Let's all use our creativity and actually think something constructive with our minds instead of what the next guy has said.

Here's my poll:

You do know that people can go to Darkfallonline.com and found info. There isn't any point writing a article about Darkfall, or try to lore in fans  because darkfall has a mass numbers of followers.

Thanks Avery, this information is valuable to fanbois around this section. I'm still disappointed that they didn't delay Darkfall yet, I fear doooooooooooooom!

This thread is made of fail, FAIL, FAIL, FAIL!

If you don't like full loot then GTFO of Darkfall because even the devs don't want to listen to your whiney cry baby self.

As a valuable fan, soon to be a valuable Darkfall customer, I am entitle to complain, bitch, and cry for unneeded content that will surely destroy Darkfall due to griefers. Even if Darkfall is centered around you type of people (Griefers) doesn't mean I can't enjoy playing the game without doing your type of activities; griefing other players, stealing, and creating havoc. You're the type of player I'll love to hunt down and kill rapidly after I've hervest my mats needed for the epic 2h sword of pwnage.

I've particular set of skills I acquire for many long years of gaming, skills that mak me a nightmare for people like you, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you - MY FINAL WARNING TO GRIEFERS

Dude, this is a niche game. It was meant to be a niche game. That means the "griefers" NEED A HOME TOO! Yes, in your eyes the game will be ruined, but "to each his own". Ever heard that phrase?

 

You believe griefing others is a playstyle, or simply put harassing other players for the sake of amusement?

 

There are many mechanics that are put in place to discourage griefing, but unlike theme park games, griefing is still possible if you can get away with it. It won't be easy but it definately won't be impossible.

 

It just depends on what you call griefing, if you think its dieng from someone from your race, and that person dry looting you, then yes griefing is in the game. But the fans of the game see it as kind of your fault for dying in the first place, since noobs can stand up to vets in this game, and you probably made a bad risk v reward decision if you got looted "out of nowhere" (in otherwords, you shouldn't have been walking on that street which is known to have gankers alone, or you shouldn't have been walking with armor that does not match the environment and walk where there is nothing blocking line of sight).

Dry looting allows risk v reward to be present, wheras pvp in other games has no risk, and no reward.

{ Mod Edit }

 

There's different definition for griefing, and lot of ways people can grief overs. I hope Darkfall has mechanics that'll prevent griefing people over and over. I thank god they didn't add tracking GUI in this game like shadowbane. Griefing ruins gameplay, and it has ruined other mmorpg before because there's some players that just want to bring unnecessary grief to other players even if they haven't done anything. There are situations were a players deserve the punishment due to their stupidity. 

I hope Darkfall enables a mechanic that doesn't let you loot me.
