Once beta is announced, and officially starts, you can bet this game will find it's way into the mainstream market. Adventurine isn't really advertising the game, and I like it that way. Give it six more months, and you'll see Darkfall's Poster replacing WoWLK's. ---IMO--- ;)

 

This is one of the biggest online gameshops in Sweden. But I'm not saying you're wrong cause you're right

I have no idea how it works. But isn't it possible with the dxdiag upload to prevent alt. accounts to be selected?

No.

That doesn't mean shit, AVE is their distributor. They just burn CDs. Seriously people when any other game is about to launch do you check their distributor's business history? You're clutching to a straw, a old one. It's clear that Aventurine have to launch the game this year or atleast start a beta otherwise it will be a complete business suicide after so much hype. In what state it will deliver, is the hot discussion now.

Eh, guess it's because I'm from the states. I'm not clear here, but I'm fairly positive they haven't found a NA publisher, just the EU. So until they get a NA publisher, I don't see gamestop knowing about Darkfall. Every Gamestop or Store dedicated to Games only, has no idea what DFO is. Everyone I've went to, I say, "Hey man, You heard of Darkfall Online?". I get the same answer everytime, Nope. I then precede listing features and they begin to drool. I think I've showed the gameplay video to about 8 of my friends, all who were drooling over it, so 120k is maybe an understatement. I mean, granted others are doing the same thing I am.

Which also reminds me, I forgot to add this to my last post. Darkfall has stated they want the NA & EU launches to be simoltaneous.Tasos clearly stating they won't compromise the vision they have to any extent. I think the next big news announced from DFO, will be a NA publisher. Then shortly after, comes the beta announcement :) I could be wrong, only time will tell ^^

mmorpg.com also said if they catch people creating alt accounts here they will be perma banned and yet there are more alts in the darkfall section since the release of the video in August than in any other mmorpg.com sub forum combined.

Trust me. forumfall numbers do not reflect a different person for each count. Just as mmorpg.com's 923,172 members does not reflect 923,172 different people.

There's MANY reasons why people create alts here and every other forum.

sounds like someone has a guilty conscious.

I stated the facts. Is AVE not their publisher? If I am wrong, please let me know because according to Adventurine, AVE is their publisher.

The link I provided...is that not AVE and their previous work history? Did my post, in any way, tell you that they will not launch the game this year as your post stated?

Stop looking for things that are not there. Forum Post Comprehension FTW

And how will they be able to check that? I bet there are lots of people with like 8 accounts

You have to submit a dxdiag.  That should discourage multiple entries.  Then again, it's possible they don't even check for duplicates.

They will probably use the same mechanic they will put in place to prevent people from making multiple accounts in the finished game, thus allowing them to play alts. If they can prevent that, then they can prevent people from signing up twice.

I am sure they are checking for duplicate ip addresses.

Come on how many normal people would go out of the way and go through a proxy to register with two diff ip's.

not even I have done that, and I REAALLY want to play beta.

You know that people actually PAY to get spots in Beta-Tests? I mean...on E-Bay and so on. I'd think if people do that, they will do other things to heighten their chances at a Beta-Spot.

People there is no sure way to prevent multiple acounts, registrations, etc. in internet.

There are many tools around to prevent been detected.  Only people that lack of knowledge will be caught.  And they will learn eventually.

This is a problem for games, forums, etc.

Btw, dxdiag doesnt ensure anything.  If you have access to more than one computer you have then more than one dxdiag and that's not even editing it.  And I am pretty sure there maybe many ways to create or modify dxdiags... its just a text file.

You have to invest a lot of money to prevent this kind of things and, even then, people will find the way to by pass your mechanisms.

Thinking otherwise is naive.
