Darkfall News - Spotlight Blog - Darkfall's "Surprise"

Posted by Jon Wood on Jun 25, 2009  | 12 comments in our forums

MMORPG.com blogger beau Turkey writes this new entry concerning Aventurine's announcement of a North American server launch and gives his own unique perspective on how to support (or not support) an independent development studio.

No one should be surprised that the Darkfall developer(s?) have hit you up for more money. I don't care if they are charging you for the North American server, transfers or just because they are poor. I don't care if they are charging you because they are just greedy. Here's the rub: in the world of independent games (and a good deal of the time in the Big Leagues) stuff like this happens.

It's 50 bucks. 50. Ask your parents for a loan.

Read the entry, here.
