I am sure those games will spiral out of control at that loss of those numbers

LOL

darkfall is such a played out joke that I can't honestly think of anything past or present that even comes close.

You can clearly see what kind of morons follow  this. No sane people with common sense are left. It's all 16 year old doodz who want full lootz.

I would even go so far and say one of the devs themselves posted this just to get more hype going.

They can't even afford an advertising campaign 5 months to a launch.

The truth is that Darkfall has a bunch of amazing videos backed up with amazing screenshots, has a distributor lined up, a release by date and regular developer updates every 2-3 weeks.

You're definition of the "truth" is pretty fucked up and delusional my friend.

The TRUTH is Darkfall does not have a bunch of amazing videos or screenshots. It has a few outdated looking Alpha videos with next to nothing going on in them and some outdated looking screenshots with horrible modelling work , terrible texture work and all around 2002 graphics. All after 7 years of work no less. LOL

The TRUTH is that they do not have a distibutor. AudioVisual DID NOT sign any kind of legal binding agreement to do anything for Aventurine or Darkfall.

The TRUTH is they do not have a release date. And even if they did name a date there is NO WAY that they would launch this game this year and they won't. That's just guranteed at this point.

The TRUTH is they do not have updates once every 2-3 weeks. If you consider Tasos making his usual bullshit vague posts as "news" then you deserve to be fed every lie that guy feeds to you.

The TRUTH is Razorwax went Bankrupt in 2006 and were involved in illegal shareholder activities within the company and now Aventurine is being run by the very same people who ran Razorwax.

Yes.. expect amazing things.  Not.  

The TRUTH sucks right?

So because Darkfall is a sandbox game it will fail?  Is that what your trying to say?

That coupled with many other things. 

Players are looking for an open ended game right now

in your opinion maybe.

I am so sick of classes and non interactive quests.

who cares what you're sick of?

So because you cant figure out what to do in a game without the developers spelling it out for you nobody wants a Sandbox game?

Yes that's exactly the reason why.

and if Darkfall is half of what they say it is, then they will get 100k to 300k players.

No it won't. No where even remotely near that.

Legos are the perfect toy for kids.

no one is trying to sell or cares about legos.

 

If I am playing Darkfall and nobody else is on line and I mean nobody.... I will still have plenty of stuff to keep me busying.

Good for you. I am sure you're one subscription will be enough to keep the game running.

What you dont understand is that just because it is not a game for YOU does not mean its not a game for Others;

Nor does it mean it's a game for the masses and you need masses of players in a game design like Darkfall since it's all about play interaction.

Also the ONLY reason companies are trying to build games so linar right now is in hopes of getting WoW like numbers which is not going to happen.

Oh then I suppose they must be all idiots and you're the genious.

As long as Darkfall comes though with the full Feature list it will be successful... End of Story....

no that's the end of YOUR wishful thinking story based on ignorants and complete lack of any kind of business sense.

Even if the game cost them 70 million to make, they make that money back quickly between box sales and accounts.

No sorry. You don't make back 70 million quickly. Again you lack even the most common of business sense.

Please use common sense or logic.

People following a game for 7 years that has nothing to show but a few crummy looking alpha videos that would not take any longer than a few months to throw together are the ones with no common sense. Not myself.

Darkfall will be a failure. Watch and see.

Darkfall IS going to go gold and IS going to make a blast in the industry , whether some people like it or not.

based on what?  A few shitty outdated looking Alpha videos with little to no gameplay in them after 7 years of work?

Blind faith assumptions are for idiots. Don't be an idiot.

Tasos is a liar and manipulator plain and simple. He lies about everything. He got caught blatently lying about his past work history in that latest Gameworld Greece website interview.

Razorwax went bankrupt in 2006 and were involved in illegal shareholder activity on two seperate occasions noted by an official auditor. And Razorwax was run and owned by the very same people who now run Aventurine including Tasos.

Darkfall will not be anything except a big load of junk just like Dark and Light was. Watch and see.

If you think that a game that's spent this long, with this much money in development, from a small team with finite resources, that just signed a publishing deal, isn't going to come out, then you need to find help.

 What in gods name are blabbering about? 

So you're saying just  because they developed forever and don't have much resources that proves the game will come out?  That's just wishful thinking.

And even if that were the case. They could at this point simply be kicking a turd out the door to try and get back some of their money.  It's been done with SB and plenty of other lesser profile games.

I'am 99% sure this thing will fail hardcore. All the signs are just there. The odds of it succeeding are almost zero at this point.

They don't even have a publisher , or Beta date , or anything really ,   5 months to a launch.

I said the same thing about Dark and Light a year before it "came out".  Of course none of the morons who followed it would listen... just like with Darkfall.

Funny that everyone who followed DnL to the grave moved on to Darkfall for a second round of disappointment.  LOL

Mark my words. This game will turn out to be a big steaming load if it's ever actually put on public display that is.

That has to be one of the most idiotic comparisons I've ever seen made. Obviously there is a huge market for a cancer cure because so many people die from it constantly. The death numbers support the market demand for that.

On the other hand you don't see millons of people dying because they don't have a andbox mmorpg to play. The fact that games like WoW completely dominate the landscape is proof that the market for sandbox PvP games is ridiculously small and not in demand at all.

You can go play a PvP sandbox skill based game right now. Just log in to Asheron'scall 1 on the Darktide server but you'll find yourself playing a online single player game which is just more proof that no one really wants to play a game like Darkfall.

Ahhh my naive optimistic little friend.

First of all Aventurine is not UbiSoft. And never will have the marketing power of a company like that.

Secondly , you ASSUME people are dying for a sandox game but if you look at the market it clearly shows that they are not.

If that was the case than there would a plethora of Sanbox games being built and already out.

It's not my fault they chose to create a game that will inevitably fail.

Failure to launch or failure after launch. Pick your choice.

Hell I can go play Archlord right now for free and get a solid PvP game with up to date graphics. Think about that for a second. The game had to go FREE to play because no one wanted to play it. 

You really think people are going to come in droves to play some unheard of PvP game made by unknown devs simply because it's some kind of sandbox?

What's my motivation to play Darkfall?

FULL LOOTZ?? old graphics??  terrible animations??   What???

I'am a potential subscriber. Why should I play Darkfall?  Multiply me by 1 million and you have everybody else asking the same question and Aventurine asking why nobody is playing their game.

I'll tell ya why no one is going to play this Aventurine.  It's because you developed for far too long. You have no existing subscriber base to sell to.  The engine is terribly outdated. The content I'am sure is completely lacking in todays standards for a MMORPG.  You have far too much competition with deep pockets and huge teams to keep things up to date who will steal away 90% of your players without even knowing they did it.

Sure Darkfall might have some initial buzz going and some decent activity for awhile but at the end of the day when it's all died down , there will be nothing left but another empty game world and another failed attempt at greatness by an inexperienced team who's eyes are bigger than their skills and who got chewed up and spit out by the veteran companies in this industry.

Darkfall is the last in the line of failed MMORPG's that started back around 2000. It simply hasn't come full circle yet and launch and fail like all the others. 

My words are good. Watch and see.

Even if the game launches and it's half decent it will still fail because of it's design and lack of player base and i'am sure lack of content.

For a game like Darkfall you need TONS of players online all the time otherwise you're just running around searching for people to kill and it becomes pretty pointless. If the game doesn't have a massive subscriber base there will be literally nothing to do other than basic PvE crap which can be found done 300% better in games like WoW.

Hell WoW's PvP expansion coming out this year is probably 100 x better then the entire Darkfall game is which is another reason this game will fail.

Of course the Fanbois will chime in now saying it doesn't have FULL LOOTING so it sucks. LOL

Like that's supposed to actually be a selling point to get subscribers or something.

I won't even bring up Warhammer which it would have to compete against among everythning else.

(If) Darkfall launches and is even half playable I see it getting no more than around maybe 10-20k subscribers and holding them for a few months until Warhammer and Lich King are out and becoming a forgotten nich game where there's maybe a few hundred people online at any given time.

My words are good.

I'am pretty sure the video will get released next month like he said. The problem is what will it look like.

I'am betting it's just more of the same and none or hardly any of the core features of the game are in it.

or will they throw together 2 minutes of 5 second fly bys of 40 different places that shows you next to nothing about the game?

If that happens then you can flush this down the shitter.

Just pray that the video isnt going to end up being a bunch of players in PvP and some Mounts running around because if that's what it ends being than you can write this thing off as complete bullshit.

I am expecting to see a video that showcases things like Crafting , Dungeons , Skills.  All the core gameplay features.

You have no information about what the 30+ devs do.

They obviously don't build games that's for sure otherwise DF would have been done a loooooong time ago.

Can you name these 30+ devs?  No?  Then stop making stuff up.

no

No.  Anybody can make a profile there and list themselves as anything they want.

I think Tasos is sitting at the front because he’s the most important person.

Or the biggest clown.

Amazing he has time to do stuff like this but recording a new up to date gameplay video from a feature complete and beta ready game seems to be too time consuming.

I'd give this fucker a standing ovation alright.

I sure can.

With the latest "happenings" the noose is slowly tightening for Darkfall Online.

With Tasos claiming all kinds of shit like working for MSN gaming zone to Darkfall having 150 FPS with 200 players on screen to showing up to a gaming meeting and showing year old video.

Not to mention no word on the comprehensive video promised over a month ago.
