All the fanbui's praising this game so much and all this talk about release and Beta, yet i havent even seen the game being advertised on any game site store.

Not even amazon has it listed, folks over at gamestop/ebgames never even heard of this game. So what gives?

there won't be any preorders, you should try the game before paying. You will be able to buy it at European Game Stores at release but most people will probably buy Darkfall over "Digital Distribution" (pay and download).

No retail box? So where are the XX day trials being advertised so i can _Try the game before paying_ ? So much hype on this game yet no commercial advertisements?

What exactly are you complaining about?  The fact that they are not advertising a free trial for a game that isn't released yet?  YOu want to buy something that isn't ready?  I am confused.

What hype? Holy shit, with the hype bombs being throw by these people.

Mmorpg.com forum hype? Are you serious..... you couldn't be..

Aventurine doesn't even have a marketing plan. They have subtle advertisements to anyone who looks for it, a core following. The fans.

Then we have people like you.. who come on and like to enter in to your own fantasy land where you think Aventurine is trying to 'Hype' the game and be a top contender on the market.. wtf ?

It's indie, take it or leave it.

Im not complaining, im _ASKING_

With so much talk about this game, i cant find a single game store (not even Amazon) that has this game advertised for sale? Normally games are listed with a release date.

What talk?  Random Inet chatter?  Like the other guy said, all the hype is word-of-mouth.  It isn't being advertised.  Maybe a youtube vid now and then, but you don't see Darkfall ads on TV or on the side of a bus (like a certain game that I see daily).

Guess that explains it.

They already said they were not going to do any of that.When it is released you will be able to try it before you buy it and thats about it.No presales.
