Did Darkfall actually rise above vapourware status?

This actually sounds like an interesting MMORPG. Which is to say, it sounds like EVE in another setting. -

Didn't Darkfall get shut down? Last I heard they only had 10000 subscribers and they where still hemorrhaging players. |

darkfall is the only other MMO I am considering trying, simply because I loved vampire: the masquerade and I am hoping this is gonna be something similar in an MMO format.

I been reading and watching the gameplay video, and tbh if they deliver what they promise and they don't screw it up in implementation/balance/quality/other terms, I could see myself dropping EVE for this. |

I was part of a group that was organized for beta entry but I failed to keep up with it and got booted from the forums. So Rells if you are willing to let someone that has no affiliation to Agony to join up I want to jump into this game bad if it actually comes out.

From an undisclosed forum:
Originally by: "fell" Beta was announced 6 years ago...
After 6 long years of waiting i finally got to test this game....
Its so rudimentary and dated that its neigh unplayable. Features half implemented or not at all.Combat a buggy unresponsive stutter fest. Interactive combat with parrying,blocking and dodging?! hahah wrong. Seemingly no coherent design strategy. A hodge podge of buggy crap.
Im guessing they are trying to stitch together a game that will fool 100k idiots to buy it and then melt away with the profit. There is no ****ing way they can rationally expect people to pay a monthly subscription for this pile of ****. A game of this quality wast acceptable 10 years ago let alone now.

"Undisclosed Sources" don't affect me in the slightest. Those that are willing to throw mud but not sign their name to the deed are nothing more than cowards. We neither know who this person is, nor know their motivations in making such a post. For all we know this could be a person who works with a competitor of Darkfall. It is even more possible that the person was a carebear who seriously dialed the wrong number with Darkfall. Since there is no way of assessing the credibility of the source, I will assume that the source has no credibility whatsoever.
Does that mean that Darkfall will "pwn" every game out there? No. Not at all. It simply means that we should judge the final game in it's entirety and judge it for ourselves until a credible source wants to go on the record with an assessment. Even if there is that credible source, they are only one voice in the crowd, not "THE" voice. As humans we have to resist the urge to be sheep and be lead by a few bleating lambs. Simply because they bleat the loudest does not necessarily grant them with omniscience.
In that light you might ask, "So Rells, if you grant that the game may not live up to expectations, what the heck are you up to?"
Well it's simple really. Any game of the nature that Darkfall has been advertised to be and, indeed, any game with a heavy and unrestricted PvP centric focus is going to be something of a dangerous mosh pit. Naturally this appeals to many of the PvPers in Eve. However, in any PvP centric game you stand a better chance to Excell and even survive if you are with a group of like-minded friends who will stand together. Agony has always been that kind of group and we have an ethos of PvP that we like to think of as a thinking man's pvp. We dont simply form a fleet of whatever the heaviest things we can find, instead we craft our tactics, groups, communications discipline and other aspects of PvP carefully. We analyze the effectiveness of tactics, devise new ways to fight and exhibit a ruthlessly efficient PvP aggressiveness.
So it's simple really. If you are going to give Darkfall a try, would you rather go at it alone or with another group of like minded, borderline crazy, PvP focused individuals? If you opt to go at it alone it will be hard indeed. Think UO at release to know how hard. But then if you go with us, think UO at release if you had a 40 person guild.
The choice, of course, is yours.

Single sign up is still available (unless that has changed since yesterday), and they will take whoever they need. Chances of getting in may be higher atm if you are in a group. |

I never try a game at start up (let them at least try to get the lumps out first) but I'll look you guys up if I ever give it a go. I've been Patch86 in most of my online life, so expect me to be the same over there too. |

If you are waiting for them to get the lumps out then when do you plan to start Eve? |

Looks interesting.. Ive been waiting for a another true sandbox MMO other then EVE and might check this out and try and join you all(if thats ok :0) after its released..
Iam kind of hesitant to jump into a new MMO since AoC was a epic fail. Followed the release of that game for about 2 years only for them to go back on most of what they promised, Sieging became nothing more then a lag fest mini game, and balancing was horrid, combat system was alright for PvE but for PvP it was unresponsive and the delay on combos chains ruined the feel of it, decapitation moves where fun at 1st but then having to wait out the animation in PvP messed everything up, also for them to promote it was anti-grind pre release you pretty much where forced to grind 50% of your levels.
So yea as long as Darkfall doesn't follow down that path I will give it a shot.

(rants about how he found bugs and partially implemented features early in the closed beta )
My turn for beta tester comments.
From the following disclosed forum: forums.darkfallonline.com Beta Report 1- Tester First Impressions (released yesterday)
A few snippets below (too many comments to post here):
Overall ôI've followed the game for a while, and I'm glad to say it was not in vain. It's not vaporware or anything like that. It really stands out as a quality game, and even after just a few hours, the addiction is already starting to get me.ö
ôBuild 50 is extremely stable. I haven't crashed once and I've been playing a lot of hours. I have found very few bugs.ö
World/Graphics ôOnly testing for a couple of hours now, but i just have to say, everything looks just so detailed... i am not really into gfx, but i am really amazed on all the things i've seen so far... very impressive...ö
ôHave u ever stop playing, sit back and admire the sunrise or the sunset in ANY other MMO? Darkfall was my first...
"The world is massive feeling and as I looked up at the sky I saw the sun moving. The shadows drew closer to me from a tower up on a hillside and I was looking at how the shadow changed as the sun moved. Then I got annihilated by a pack of goblins scouts because I was paying too much attention to the wrong parts of my surroundings."
AI ôôIntelligent AI? This is something I've not experienced until entering Df. It's as if fighting the mobs mirrored fighting other players. They actually work together attempting to kill you rather then serving as your training material.ö
PVP ôThe PvP actually takes skill! I stood toe to toe with another player with equal stats, equipment, and still got owned!ö
ôGroup PvP is going to be neat. It's already dangerous going 3v1 because the '3' side will constantly hit eachother in melee or with spells accidentally. A skilled solo player can definitely pull off some cool stuff there.ö
ôPvP combat in this game reminds me so much of watching a sword fight in a movie where the fighters almost dance around each other looking for a weakness to strike at. There is no break and there is no breathing space. Every moment of combat contains so much movement and requires constant brainpower. You won't have time to turn away from your screen or take a phone call, even while fighting mobs.ö
ôYesterday I had my friend lure somebody out of town, where the rest of us popped out of the shadows and took all his cool stuff. He couldn't see us because it was night out, and we had taken off our shiny armour.ö
ôI love the fact that you can hear someone fighting from quite far away. The other day myself and a couple of others ran from the alfar land to the human one, which took a while btw, and we eventually found someone killing goblins when we started hearing the sounds of fighting.
Final Thoughts "Of course, it helped cap off the night that the location we were traveling to was just itching to dish out wholesale slaughter on anyone curious enough to take a peek. I felt like I was being shelled by artillery after some of the mobs unloaded their repertoire of spells on us. Screen shaking, firebombs exploding all around you, your friends screaming obscenities and running away... the game definitely has a tendency to abruptly take your head out of the clouds and grind your face into the dirt with its heel on the back of your head with no warning at all. And this was just the PvE! PvE!"

I know not all MMOs do this but, like EVE, Darkfall will have trail accounts you'll definately get your shot.
The Darkfall devs really liked the feel of UO before it took a turn for the worse and they want to recreate a lot of what made the early UO great (such as full loot. You die, you lose everything like in EVE).
