Hi Colin,

Don't know if you've seen but there are a few beta leaks which a google search should find - generally the info from the beta is very positive.

It certainly looks very promising and i'm looking forward to it, I just hope it does come out on the 22nd of this month as stated before Christmas as there has been no updates since then.
 
It's still in a (very) closed beta, there's no way it'll be in a fit state to release in a week. I'd love to see it do well, but the whole thing feels way too much like another Dark and Light.
 
22nd of january is the announced release date for the moment.
Having never seen an MMO getting released without large scale open beta I doubt this will be the case, I wish tho because the game looks like it could be worth it.
 
My hopes are fading for a release on the 22nd. although most beta leaks are positive about the actualy gameplay, it seems a lot of the features aren't ready yet.

I'm still really looking forward to it though.
 
Great game play ideas, shocking graphics and i mean shocking, just checked a video of a in castle style 5 man group thing and it looked like everquest....... instant fail.
 
Graphics look better than Warhammer Online or WoW..not that I care about them much. The videos you've seen are not on top detail and probably off youtube :p . The gameplay looks good though and thats what I care about and the features

99% of the beta leaks are extremely positive about the things that have been implimented and the combat is supposed to be something else.

It's also supposed to be extremely hard with some of the best npc AI to be seen.
 
I doubt that darkfall can look that good honestly, even taking into account that actual in-game pictures floating around are on mega low settings I don't think it is possible to achieve that good graphics in their engine.
 
The more I read about these guys, the more disorganised they seem, I wouldn't believe a thing until I have the game actually up and running. They might be be most talented programmers on the face of the earth, but it still doesn't mean they can host / launch a major mmo successfully.

Even big, established companies with plenty of prior experience often fail miserably at launching a major mmo. I'll be stunned if guys who are six months late releasing a simple gameplay video can do it.

Click to expand...

So true...
It doesn't make sense that the game is to be released in 7 days from now and not a single shop has it for pre-order yet. :D
 
Be good to see a smaple of game play in full res.... maybe one day soon they will put it out there for us all to see..

Wonder if the combat is as good as they say, sounds kind of hard to master, but good fun trying.
