It has a better chance of being the next big flop. |

Sounds like Tasos pulled some PR magic and said Darkfall would have this , this and that and that , that and this and of course as always having no proof of that , that and this and this , this and that. FYI.. Those are for from respectable when it comes to publishing video games much less an MMO. |

They left Razorwax running so noone could take the money they were getting with Aventurine and so they kept RW running long enough to file for bankruptcy... Wasnt Razorwax created in 2001? So 2006 makes 5 years... Interesting indeed. |

I see a lot of people here obviously never played UO.. Ganking was a serious problem and no a freshly made character could not go toe to toe with a vet. The vet would have atleast GM Armor and Weapon along with a finished build. If you were mining if Brit there was almost always someone right at the end of the protection line waiting to gank a miner. How about Moonglow? You couldnt leave that place without someone ( more than one most of the time ) trying to gank you. The skill in UO consisted of who had the highest bandaging skill and the better weapon. Someone with GM Armor and Weapon would lose most of the time to someon with GM Armor and Power / Vanq weapon.. Lets be serious here... If you were not using atleast a power weapon in PvP then you were an easy kill for anyone worth their salt. |

WoW is a game that is easy to learn but hard to master and that is a big reason why they keep old players and continue to get new players. |

LOLOLOL... I just read some of the official thread... LOLOLOL.. So many lies being thrown around like 1.5 million bought AoC ( 700k was the REAL number ) or how WoW fanboys are getting tired of WoW.. LOLOL.. With WotLK coming there is no reason for those that pay WoW to look for another game especially with what the expanion is offering. I guess thats why WoWs player base continues to grow. I don't think I have ever seen so many delusional people all in one spot. Makes me wonder if Tasos offered everyone rat poison but called it chocolate cubes how many people would go ahead and eat it.... Darkfall has no chance at all... Warhammer , WotLK , Mines of Moria.. ect... |

Originally posted by Xxeon eve you can lose laot more and it has 250k subs lets see Uo is old Shadowbane is just wtf archlord WTh i heard that was pretty lame too
So all those games suck but Darkfall is going to be awesome? RIIIGHT EVE is one of the worse games I have ever seen and the only reason people play is because its the only playable SCI FI game there is especially since Tabula Rasa blew chunks. Now compare the market place for SCI FI MMOs and Fantasy MMOs.. There are actually good games in the Fantasy department unlike the SCI FI area. UO started killing itself during its prime and so the " its old " argument doesnt hold water. EA had to launch Trammel quickly or UO would have perished. Shadowbane is pretty much what Darkfall wants to be and that isnt a good thing. SB has less than 10,000 players for a reason. Archlord is a bad game but it also had " an awesome feature list ".

Have you played Darkfall or even seen it in action? No? Then such a claim holds no weight... Like how Dark & Light was going to be the best thing ever? I see the same things happening with Darkfall as I did with D&L. |

I think the niche is far less than some think..Just take a look at the other games that have tried the same setup - Shadowbane is pretty much dead , Archlord is pretty much dead , It almost killed UO ect.. Hardly anyone likes to see their hard work poof into thin air or be ganked continuously while trying to enjoy themselves. If Darkfall took all the players from UO ( not likely since that is a PvE game now ) , Shadowbane and Archlord they still would not even be at 100k and maybe not even 50k. Anywhere from 10-50k players would be believable but anything higher is just delusional thinking. |

That changes nothing as all people will do is camp outside the city to gank people that are leaving. |

Houses fall under the protection of the Clan city, so this will not happen. Who says houses cost a lot and this game is one which also has penalties for pkers so there will be areas where PvE will work fine. Plus the size of the world places the PvP focus on clan cities and conquest, I can't see a Pker walking for an hour to kill you for a basic club and a leather Jerk -IN.
Do even listen to yourself? So every house EVER will be in a city? Forgive me while I laugh. What about a start up guild that is trying to build a little town? It will be demolished early on with no hope of ever succeeding. Thats a big reason why Shadbowbane failed as people who were trying to just have a merchant outpost were continuously destroyed for no particular reason. |

I will add this one.. A person buys a house , logs off for the night , comes back the next day to see his house destroyed. -1 sub. There are many things that people will not put up with more than a few times and Darkfall has about all of them. I suspect the game will be as big as Shadowbane when all is said and done .. |

What about the intelligence level of the fanboys? They have been spoon fed the same BS for the last 7 years but continue to gobble it up. |

I honestly have never heard of either of those guilds.. Just because one guild says something doesnt mean anything.. Heck I could find numerous guilds who say that DF is vaporware and that they dont even know any of these people. Would that mean anything to you? Didnt think so. |

Lets see here... ES works because its single player and you do not have to worry about some sadistic fool who gets wet at the thought of greifing you ganking you. We all see what FFS PVP and full looting did to UO.. Nearly killed it. The only thing keeping UO afloat now is Trammel and Kingdom Reborn. So why would that make Darkfall a success? If FFA PvP and player city seiges were all anyone wanted then wouldnt SB be huge and not the ghost town it is now? Wouldnt UO continue to be one of the top dogs? The fact of the matter is that the basic premise of FFA PvP , Full looting and being able to destroy buildings will lead to a dead game. Very few people will put up with losing their hard earned house or city and its even worse if you lose those when you are sleeping. About the only people who can put up with that are the same ones who will gank you over and over just because they can. FYI.. If FPM is the only way to play then EVERYONE will use ranged weapons .. Imagine someone coming up behind you - They will get atleast two shots in before you can turn around - Probably a couple more before you spot them - By the time you get halfway to them you are dead. Melee will get utterly destroyed by one simple thing.. FPM. Despite what the fanboys say.. Darkfall is NOT the game people want. It is the furthest thing from the majority. The game MIGHT have had a chance back in 2000 / 2001 but in 2008 it is already dead in the water if it even releases. |
