A lot of people seem to be resisting early calls that Df2 is a different game. However, to assume anything other than this being a different game is pure speculation.

The two sources information:

From Tasos on October 18, 2010
 

From Tasos in July 1, 2011 Activity Report:
 

Contradictions Between the Post:
A) Post 1 claims that all resources have been put into the current version of Darkfall but post 2 sais that resources have been split between the current version and another one

B) Post 1 claims that two games/versions were not being made at the same time, though Post 2 states that the two games/versions have been developed parallel with each other.


What Can We Conclude:
Without the speculating, we can only really conclude that

A)There will be a new game (DF2?)
B)There will not be a wipe of current survers
C)New options will be available to new/existing players

What We Dont Know:
A) Will DF2 come with its own servers
B) Will people be able to transfer their characters to the new servers

as somoene who hasnt played since just after release, even i know Tasos is a liar who often speaks half truths or just seems to make things up.

to me this means its just a redesign of the current game

an expansion? technically no i guess.

a whole new game? i doubt it. took him what? 9 years to release darkfall?

IMO people will be keeping their characters and they'll just be in a whole new game world with whole new mechanics.

kinda like the SWG fiasco if they all of a sudden moved the characters to a new set of planets

So that the people can have the full links

here is the old dev quote

Now do what you want with it. I wouldn't risk myself into an interpretation honestly, even if i know what this mean.

We really don't know anything until Tasos gives us more information. Development teams change things on the fly all the time, that's the nature of development - those two Tasos posts are a good example.  A lot of things have been said by Aventurine and crew over the years and if I were to take snippets of some of those said things and compare them, we'd all have a pretty good laugh.

I don't think the change is about development, but marketing plan honestly but whatever.

I honestly fail to understand what Tasos is trying to say... :(

It's probably better this way. At least then you aren't expecting something only to be disappointed down the road and maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised instead.

I don't play DF or know much about it, but the way the words are strung together in the 2nd comment it sounds like they might have hopes of box-sales from a 'new game'.

In all honestly, I think it's going to be a PVE version of DF. Or something along those lines.

I'd be down for that.

Darkfall with faction PvP = PvE version of darkfall :)

 = a Darkfall that actually makes money maybe

Yeah, that guy is rather weird. I never really gotten over how he turned a bad review from no big deal to a huge disaster...

To me at least this seems more tp be Darkfall 1,5 than DF 2. Not that DF 1,5 is a bad thing or anything but it doesn't sounds like you could say that this will be a sequel, more a huge update.

Maybe it is just me who don't share the Greek way of seeing things.

Still, any large update is good for the players (except the NGE) and sequel or not, it will hopefully make the game a better game.
