(Yes yes, I know what you meant...but still...)

[The Last Spartan]

It sounds good, but can it deliver? If so, I'll play it.

If not, I have my other games and Football.^^

[Shiva-PIC]

I don't want to get my hopes up, but it's really hard not to

[Aragoni]

The game is VAPORWARE. Mohahahahahaha... No seriously. It won't arrive (if it arrives..) until 2009/2010. Btw, what tha fuck is up with the short BETA?

[Torgrim]

Darkfall smells waaaay to much Dark & Light for my taste.

[Damukag]

I wouldn't hold my breath. I love the game, but I suspect yet another pushback to be announced.

I'm a hardcore sandbox fanboi, but also for MO and Earthrise, so i don't care if DF dont get released this year !

[Dingo]

Lol @ the latest update

This game will never see release, feel free to quote me on this.

[Shawk]

The last release pist me off pretty well,

I'm sick of the so-called updates that update us on the devs health and shit.. who the hell cares, honestly.

The Universal Bank shit pisses me off, next it will be instances.. I mean his excuses for Universal Banks was basicly, "the mainstream likes universal banks.. that's why we are going to have them in.."

Also about the army of NPCs. I could have sworn that they said this will be possible and implemented in the game.

All the promises that Tasos has made...he probably forgets half the things he said about the game.

Edit- Oh, and nice fansite

I don't understand what you mean here. Aren't we going to have about a full month of beta? That seems relatively lengthy to me. It's not like it's a closed beta or anything. They had said it from the start that they wanted the game to be fully loaded by the time that beta rolls around and all that we will be doing is stress testing mostly.

But yes, I am thrilled to see a release date. They know they can't screw up another date so they must have been closer to a release than I had thought. I guess since I just didn't believe all of the stuff that they were saying about being farther along than most games in beta and having a nearly complete game I just assumed it would take longer to release.

[The Last Spartan]

So we're gonna see how many players the server can handle basically?

Yes. Something that they cannot do without our help really. That and to see what hundreds of players will do once in game. There will likely be a few wrinkles for them to iron out and I'd expect a few crashes early on, but the idea is that it would all be fixed by release. Something that quite a few games haven't been able to pull off lately, haha.

[The Last Spartan]

So are the system requirements on Wikipedia the recommended or the minimum? I was wondering if I need to update my pc for Darkfall, then again for MO.:O

[Arxon Havenloft]

Darkfall has stayed fairly simple as far as system reqs are concerned. On the wiki is probably the minimum but that's only a guess as I am too lazy to look and see and I don't think that they've actually posted a recommended yet. MO will obviously require a much better computer. But if your computer can run other MMOs like WoW or AoC then it shouldn't have any problems running Darkfall in my opinion.

[The Last Spartan]

I'll be getting a quad core and at least another gb of ram (making up to 3gb) to run MO. I want High detail with no lag.

To be honest I really haven't looked into quad core in the last year or so so I don't know if it's gotten much cheaper but you really don't need more than a dual core to have a badass system right now. Quad core barely even gives you much of an upgrade. You're more paying for the technology than anything kind of performance increase.

I run with:
Asus Crosshair Mobo
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ (overclocked to 3.1 GHZ).
Only 2 Gigs of RAM because I took 2 Gigs out for a diff computer.
ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT Video Card

And of course this all runs great with my 42' Samsung LCD HDTV as a monitor

This computer could perform just as well as most with quad core could.

I bet Tasos is laughing on us now, all the people that are waiting. I bet he is.

Their lower than the minimum, for sure.
Those who claim developers lied and the game won't be released, got anything to back up your words?

2046- we were almost ready guys! It's just that a flying pony came in and burned down my office, and then some other game developer came and bashed our game, so that held us off too.
