But that's all part of the experience. A MMOG being born, like a baby emerging into the world, covered in blood and wailing miserably.
And, in years to come, you can tell the noobs how you were there when dwarves could fit dual-MWDs... or something.

I'm not preaching to the trolls so to speak so I don't care what they believe.
Quote: In doing so we cooperated with the testers in order to get a good balance of the good and the bad. I posted this update in the beta forums last night, and asked for help in order to make it a fair assessment of the experience so far. Everyone had the opportunity to pitch in and they seem to agree that the resulting preview accurately represents the sentiment of the testers.
So while they couldn't include the entire first impressions thread, they at least picked comments that represented the same thing that most other testers said about that respective aspect. Clearly you can see that the most negative comments are with regards to a steep learning curve, UI, and a devision of gamers that want to play "easy mode" versus the majority that want to play against a challenging AI. Crafting is viewed not as outstanding but more average. On the flip side, the world, graphics, pvp, and overall impressions clearly have much praise and its hard to imagine other testers at this point in time having opposing comments with regards to those areas given how strong the comments praise are.
Anyway, looks like it may be very good.

It seems Adventurine is ending up as a 'second CCP', an unknown independent game-developer making a revolutionary MMO. I'm pretty psyched about this now. -- My blog

This. Though I don't know about revolutionary, most of the significant aspects are also in EVE. It's amazing actually how many people on their forum have never heard of EVE, or at least know nothing about it, and are hailing this as the return of UO style MMOGs. As far as I can tell, it doesn't even have an equivalent of 0.0, just lots of lowsec. Ah well.
Originally by: ouroboros trading now mmos are packed at the starts with nerd-raging men who all want to be a 'vet' or 'beta player'
Oh, can't imagine that as a motivation. Nope. Not me. Never. Heh. Heh.
Having taken a closer look over the last ... however long it has been, and having posted in the forums a bit, I don't think this will match EVE overall, but may better it in some specific aspects. What interests me personally is the PvP. FPS style gameplay inside an EVE-style world... interesting. If it delivers what it promises, it will certainly be a viable second sandbox MMOG, which is nice.
Anyway, there has been some movement, the beta signup button has been made more prominent on the home page, prompting speculation that they are moving onto the next stage of beta testing. -

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

The NDA is being dropped for a day for two members of Italy's biggest MMORPG community. Movements towards a December release appear to be continuing, and we may see real info this evening or tomorrow.
Or, it could all be lies.

Only some Agony members will be playing Darkfall. Most will keep focused on EVE. As for me, I'll be doing a bit of both.

Just visit darkfall.agony-empire.com and sign up.
Keep in mind that agony are NOT carebears by any stretch of the immagination and you might want to do some research into us before thinking of joining.

But it says agony empire players only. which is too bad I wanted to give it a try, but if the beta wil only allow so many guild members I understand.

Bah, where does it say that? I need to fix that. We initially only allowed Agony members to sign up just for the purpose of reserving their names on the website, thats all. We're taking in non-Agony, ex-Agony, and even friends that play other MMOS. We hammered out a lot of goals and specific plans and directions for everyone to fulfill them starting from the very first minute you log into Darkfall. Its going to be exciting.
Initially, we'll be accepting almost anyone and if they turn out to be an ass then "off they go." Imagine if you had the chance to play EVE from the beginning with an organized group of people before there were major 0.0 players. You would have had the chance in shaping the rest of the community. Heres your chance.
If theres anything else that needs clarifying just ask here or on the website http://darkfall.agony-empire.com on the RECRUITMENT QUESTIONS thread. :)

I have signed up at the Agony Darkfall forums. I am now signing up for the Darkfall forums so as to be legit for beta entry. In the sign up there is a space to enter a reffering characters user name. Is there someone that we should put in there or should we ignore that?

I'm not sure it will matter a great deal as far as chances on getting into the beta, but you can list rainfinale (my darkfall forum name) as the referrer. Also, they're going to have trial accounts for Darkfall (just like EVE) when it releases. :)

Even if it doesn't become as succesful as hoped, you're looking at a minimum of 5 to 10 shards at launch, most probably making the entry into the game very bumpy as populations will have to balance each other out. This might mean that especially on underpopulated realms, certain groups of players might be able to completely dominate the landscape, turning a vast majority of new players and groups away from it and to the more populated servers. I think a situation might developed where the heavy servers become almost unplayable, and the light servers are simply no fun to play on for people who didn't start at the very beginning of the game.
At the very least, Darkfall will have a bumpy start...
Actually, I think overpopulation will be the bigger concern. I believe they'll probably only have 2-3 servers at the start and all of them based in Greece. They said that they won't release new servers until the current ones all fill up. I think that there will be too few servers at launch if anything but we'll see how quickly they can setup more. :)

I'll be there when DFO goes live, know of a few other eve/ex-eve ppl that plan on hitting it up as well. Most of us have been in eve since launch so a few of us are taking a nice long break from eve and waiting for DFO to hit. Who know's, you might be seeing a few familiar faces there.
