Nice to hear! since i am swedish.

what ISP do you use?

Thanks guys for the answers!

So what I read there are only one server in US, right?

Are there any Euros here that can tell me if the server is dead during euro-primetime, and if the lag is a big issue?

Cheers!

You my friend do not, I on the other hand.. have no game to play at the moment..

Perhaps you should add a note that the beta seams to be full since the beta-app page no longer are available?

So it is in English?

I have found this little pressrelease:

"Monte Cristo is very happy to announce that Cities XL, the next generation city builder, will be released on September 3rd 2009 on PC DVD in the following countries: France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Austria, in French and German languages.

A release is planned for other countries, we will announce a precise date as soon as possible."

That bothers me.

You are forgiven :-p

Just found out about this today, read a review or two and it sounds really cool.

Now am I to assume that they have developed ONLY Frensh and German? No English? seriously what is up with that?

a bummer if they don't release an English version.

I don't play WoW (played for a month when it first came out), it has good graphics, looks clean, has easy loot and combat, etc... there is a reason this game has 1 server and WoW has 100....

{ Mod Edit }

 

WoW has had 5 years to amass enough players to have that many servers, it didnt have very many at launch. Darkfall has barely been out for two weeks and probably half the player base isnt even in it yet, not to mention all the players it will gain over the years. Im not into DF but I can respect it for what it is, dont hold DF up to all the of the major games on the market, it was never meant to be one of those.

You sit by dragging the rest ability from your skills page to your hotbar.

 

Darkfall is a joke.  It is barely playable and has half the gfx of WoW.. you are kidding yourself to justify your 5 years of waiting for it to come out.  And btw WoW had at least 25 servers at launch and several splits/adds.

You sir are the joke, if you fail to se that DFO have much better GFX than your pressious WoW then you are just plain lying. And about the 25 servers WoW had at lauch they only have like 5000 account on each so moot point.

I am pretty sure you never played DFO, since you have so many blatant missconceptions of the game.

I just exited... terrible gfx and worse gameplay.  I bought Two Worlds when it came out and actually threw it away after 15 minutes of playing...  This isn't much better.  Actually it isn't better.  The gfx are terrible and clunky, looting is a 10 step process.  If you attack near another person you hitm them and they kill you.  The chat sucks, etc.  Wow it is bad but I knew what to expect and just wanted to say I was part of the trainwreck that was Darkfall.  See you all in WoW.  J/k.. I don't play WoW... See you all on the forums!!!

I thought that even the trolls didnt pull the "terrible gfx" card anymore since they have been proven wrong on that point. Furthermore, you seem to think that if a game don't spoonfeed you with all you need to know, and if you cant automate eferything to exaclty ONE MOUSE CLICK (and it is up to the game to figure out exactly what you wanted to perform with that one mouseclick) it is a bad game?

Well I have a tip for you: DON'T TRY SANDBOX GAMES, you are just not cut out for it.

These are all Tasos quotes from the DF forums.

March 1st, 2009:

"We generally frown on unattended macroing and if you use macros you do so at your own risk..."

March 3rd, 2009:

"Anyone macroing within the tower protected areas will be warned once, and then kicked. Repeated violations could result in a ban."

March 6th, 2009:

"Unattended macroing anywhere is forbidden. Offenders will be kicked. Repeat offenders will be banned."

and finally March 9th, 2009:

"Today we started permanently banning accounts involved in using 3d party programs to exploit."

 

So they went from "frown"ed upon to "could" be banned to "forbidden" to "banning" within a 9 day period.  That doesn't seem like very well thought out macroing policy for a game that spent 7 years in the oven.  There are plenty of other MMOs that have tackled the very same issues it seems like they could have learned ahead of time from other companies mistakes.

 

they arent banning right away for unattended macroing, that states 3d parthy programs to exploit = cheat as in speedhack, wallhack and such.

Policy from 6th stands when it comes to Macroing

One would think that if Aventurine didn't want to hype Darkfall any further, that they WOULD update the website.

 

The way I see it, is if they did update with the current state of the game, it would actually de-hype it. then they could just focus on the issues at hand.

 

Right?

 

Just saying...

 

LOL, play the game and come back and let me know...

 

I do play it. I am not at all displeased with he current state of the game.

 

Just saying...

 

Lol, what makes you think I am not playing it?

Because I am not gushing all over the place about it?

 

Just because you are playing it and seem to be pleased with it, doesn't  make the fact that Darkfall's website is terribly out-dated and misleading, any less a valid point.

Noone is arguing that the web page is terrible out of date, this is a fact. Now you where making what point based on that fact?

There is your fault, as it has been the last 8 years or so..

give them time to create new servers one at a time and them start the PR & grow the game.

 

personally i love the fact they are focusing all their effort on providing as good an experience as possible to their first set of customers rather than try to lure in & sell the max number of boxes on release day.

 

Interesting that the children don't seem, or simply refuse to understand this simple fact. Don't you think?

 

how's those login queues?  getting da boot after waiting in the login queue much? 

double the sales per weekday starting this week!

just wait till you get that 50k sub waiting to fill the 10k server...  oh wait, you guys don't read the official forums and see all the hate and angst from the "children" who are tired of the queues... gotcha.

troll away.

Strange thing is I have been playing for more than a week and I have NEVER been stuck in a que..

If what you want is flashy animations, good graphics, depths of gameplay, and strategic meaningful combat, then Darkfall is not for you.

 

DF combat has as much depth as Diablo

You obviously know jack shit. People who know jack shit often have the dicensy to shut up, you didn't too bad

In the latest news-update about the account sales they stated that beginning today, they will significantly increase the number of accounts sold each day. So perhaps today will be your lucky day.. (I allredy got mine ;-)

The "paid forum shill" or "game devs posing as a regular joe to bash other games" is one of the largest misconceptions I see repeated on this forum constantly.. The only game employees who try to blindly promote their game here are all asian ftp games (like the mass hype rush by the devs of that mmo you can play on your phone.. I forget the name of it now).

Large companies could care less about the very small competition that DF brings to the table.. It's a small indie produced game that appeals to a very niche group of players.. Hell, they are only letting a VERY SMALL amount of players in ATM, so it's not like any major game is going to lose a large portion of their players seeing as most of them would not be able to even buy the game at this moment. 

Besides, every company has their "hardcore fanboys" who will tirelessly promote their game, and bash others, for free.  Why pay someone for something that many people will do for free, anyway?Not to mention most people who have basic logic skills will dismiss the rabid fanboys, and also ignore the obvious trolls..  These troll vs fanboy posts don't really encourage or discourage people from buying a game.  Usually it's the more obviously objective reviews that will hold sway with the gaming public.

please leave write atleat ONE thing that connects your text to you title.. gosh

Maybe the game will last 1 month, maybe it will last 10 years. It really doesnt matter as things go but as long as someone is actually enjoying it why the hell does anyone else care.

 

You don't get the point, we have the feeling they are trying to sell a crappy car here.

Well there is absolutely NOTHING (obviously) that we can say or do to convince you that the game is imensely fun.

So if you dont trust us, or aventurine or anyone else, then for all that is good DO NOT BUY THE GAME.

Comming on here, demanding this and that and then saying that you don't belive it is getting tiresome.

Read what we wright, we will probably not change our minds, we like the game. It is now up to YOU if you want to buy it and try it. 

So stop whining about it

Ya you ignorant slobs. Why do you guys who are playing Darkfall keep coming onto the Darkfall forum and posting about the fun you are having in Darkfall. That is just ignorant shit.
Why do you think that anyone who visits the Darkfall forum would want to hear anything about Darkfall???
 

And to come on here without videos or anything, you know that its your job to prove that the game you are currently playing actually exists dont you.

Stupid fanboys talking about a game on their own forum. What are they going to do next, actually try to get others to want to play too.

FOR THE LOVE OF FREAKING GOD, get over it people. Darkfall actually launched, people are actually playing it, and people are actually liking it. And while you have spoken, and Darkfall is a heap of dated shite. people still seem to be playing it. So how about you actually let them have the forum that was created so people could talk about darkfall.

{mod edit}

Word!

ye, so this is the best the trolls got nowdays? huh?

Around nine GMT so you only have to smash F5 between eight and ten GMT..

I got as far as "reenter your CCV and complete your purchase" then when I hit that button "service no longer available" lol, server was completely nuked..

Hope I fare better tonite..
