As much of a fan as I am of the Idea of Darkfall, I think you'd be a fool not to listen to what polarization is saying.

I just can't seem to think of a good reason for them to keep everything so hush hush. I hear excuses like they're too busy (right), they want us to discover the world (right) and so on and so forth from the fanboi's but the logical thing to do at this level would be to promote.

I dont know maybe it's just me and I dont understand how to run a business but try as I may I cant find a good reason to handle this the way aventurine is handling it

 

I agree with you.  People on these forums go back and forth all day long about whether the game will come out or not.  All this confusion, bad press, etc. could be easily cleared up by the company if their product is as good as they say.  Instead, they choose to let the speculation continue, and they have no problem with DF becoming the joke of the MMO community.  That leads me to believe that they are simply no where near having a functional game.  What company would allow all this to go on if they could stop it?  It's just bad business.

Now I'm not defending Aventurine or making excuses for them in any way but one thing that most of you seem to be missing is the little fact that good or bad by remaining "hush hush" about Darkfall  Aventurine has made it one of the most talked about games on the internet today! Everyone at least knows about Darkfall to some extent and that is PR you just can't buy. They just better hope their servers are up to snuff when and if they go online because they are going to be packed on the first day they open. I don't think AoC, War or even WoW had this volume of buzz surrounding it before it launched. More people have heard of Darkfall than AoC and War combined! Thats PR you just can't put a price on as people are going to log in to try it whether they think its the greatest or the worst just to see if they are right.

Yeap, I made some myself. We had a great ride on about 1 million bucks. It was fun while it lasted.

BTW, where are these dev's from?

Those that expect DF to be flawed will easily find flaws.  The true believers are worshipping a game that cant possibly live up to expectations, and are ripe for disappointment.  Considering that Aventurine has promised we will get to play before we pay...I think they have painted themselves into a corner.  If the game is NOT the best pvp-sandbox ever, it may be considered a failure.

The reason they dont want a beta or post videos/screenshots of their game is very simple; they want their game to be a surprise and let us discover the world by ourself.

no...its a fake game...

Now you are just making stuff up.  In fact, there are far more gamers who've never heard of DF, vs AOC or WAR. 

Its OK to support a game, but please keep in the realm of plausibility.

And as another poster said, if this isn't the greatest sandbox game ever created its going to be cruicified.

But I'm starting to think that same fate awaits all new releases, we gamers are a hard bunch to please.

I've been reading as much as I can about Darkfall.  Probably the worst/best line I've read was in another site's forums... "I already pre-ordered Darkfall.  My imagination gladly accepts Visa, MasterCard as well as PayPal".

My question is this:  Will gamers give Darkfall a fair shot?  After all of the jokes, the wait, the rumors, and everything else... will people really give this title an honest try?

With the current lack of quality depth and lameness of MMOs available at the moment as long as DF is playable with integrated fetaures it will be like by many more than the misrepresentative haters here.

And guess what no one will be here to listen to you.. sad eh.

I'am sure Warhammer and Wrath of the Lich King will bow before the might of Darkfall Online.

Or just completely obliterate it. 

Either one.
