General Discussion

I was following the promises of the great PvP oriented, 3D Pre-Trammel type of Ultima Online way back in 2001 and 2002 when the Darkfall website had a posted release date of "Fall of 2003".

Seven years later, there is STILL no actual known release date. People still horde the Darkfall forums and make new posts on the Darkfall section on this website, still hoping that this is the year.

Nothing has changed since 2001 people. It's still the same ideas and promises for a great Pre-Trammel UO type of game that just won't ever happen. I mean really. Atleast give games like Mourning and Dark & Light credit for actually releasing a game.

But let's do yet another poll on Darkfall just to see what people actually believe 7 years after its initial website was put up back in early 2001...

The difference between D&L/Mourning, etc. and Darkfall Online is that DF isn't settling for a pre-mature release. I don't know how much you follow the game, but the developers publish progress reports regularly. DF is just an MMO in development, either you set yourself up for a big letdown with high expectations or you don't.

I don't expect DF to be a game with "rave reviews" and record shattering subscriber numbers, I expect it to deliver on the open-ended, skill-based, player-driven foundation of its design that it proudly embodies and it will do just that.

Are you kidding?  They're almost ready to release.  They just have to update the game engine...

We've heard that before. Back in 2004. In 2005 and 2006 as well. Just have to adjust minor details.

Apparently Duke Nukem Forever references are lost on certain people...  

Let's all take a look RQ at how biased the OP's poll is real quick.

Ever seen such one-sided, obviously you can only pick these because they sound good, if you disagree with my side this poll makes you sound like a fanboi, poll? I don't think you have, unless you've been sitting in the SWG forums too much .

The game will either release or it won't. Given that the developers ARE actually giving regular status updates leads me to believe it is just a game in development that has had a few troubles along the way. When people start pointing to the release date and times rather than pointing towards quality (something suits do ALL the time to games being developed, inevitably killing that game via a premature launch) leads me to assume the OP doesn't really care about quality or an immersive game. He just wants it released now because he/she is tired of waiting for it.

This topic has been brought up a few times... but here's my take on it.  I was interested in the game years ago.  Unfortunately due to the extreme delays, I no longer care about the game.  When it comes out, I'll probably take a look at some screenshots, but I highly doubt I'll be making the switch to the game to play it.

The same goes for Duke Nukem.  I no longer care if the game ever gets released.  I know a lot of people got excited over the new movie clip that was released, but the truth is I just didn't care anymore.  Some say "well team fortress 2 took forever and look how good that came out".  And the truth is I would of never ever played that game if it was just released by itself.  They had to package it in with Half Life 2, Episodes 1 & 2, and Portal.  I've played Team Fortress maybe a couple of times.  But Portal is where my love is at.

The truth is I don't think there is going to be one unique thing about the game when it comes out.  It may have been unique back then, but now every feature has probably been implemented into other games, including the free to play ones.

With that said, Good Luck to anyone willing to hold out and wait for this game to come out.  I hope it's everything you imagined it would be and better.  I really do.
