Anyone else still watching this... UO mixed with DAoC mixed with Shadowbane mixed with eve...

Hoping it does beta next week, and launch on 22nd... could do with an MMO that feels like there's a 'world' out there!

I am. :p

I won't have a pc on launch day though good enough to power it, as far as I'm aware. It's going to be awesome I think.
 
I just applied to join the Oldtimers Guild... seemed appropriate, but if there's a UK guild worth joining...

Supposedly it'll run on fairly low spec, but we know so little about it, who knows!

Full loot is going to be promising. You can kill someone off of their mount then jump on that mount! Or steal a warboat... or town.
 
Yeah, should make crafting more meaningful, as there will be constant need for gear!

Current rumour is that there will be a fair few features not in at launch, but I guess that's no surprise.
 
I'm really looking forward to this and there hasn't been much hype about it which is good in a way.

I don't know if I'm going to be disappointed though... Hope it's not another WAR/AOC.
 
Yeah, can't believe some people have been following the game eagerly for years. Must drive them mad.

It's difficult to tell, they've kept so quiet about the game you can't judge if it'll be a failure or turn out to be really good. Usually beta leaks give you a good feel.

It certainly looks interesting - my concern is they've tried to cram too many features into it. Didn't realise it was out so soon.

Someone needs to create an "Official Darkfall Thread" :P
 
Think we have more chance of seeing Lord Lucan then Darkfull in 12 days, have been looking over the forums and a lot of moans about no dev posts.

No price released for game or monthly costs, no official word on the forum for a while, they havent even released the game specs!

It's worrying that i first thought you mean the evil Lucan in eq2...

They've been tight-lipped throughout development... so there's a slim chance it's just how they operate, and they'll still launch. Seems daft to me... alienating your fanbase by not communicating... but there you go.

I reckon they'll launch end jan with a much reduced feature set, and hope enough people play to support them while they build the rest back in.... but who knows?

Still beyond me why no mmo picked up the SWG crafting system which was awsome, I will guive this game a chance but just cant see how it can be released, no one I know is in beta.
 
I'm not convinced the launch will go smoothly or even that it will happen on the 22nd but I'll give it a go if it does. The website seems to have been devoid of any official comments for a fair while now....
 
the main man was at an opencoffee presentation in athens a few days ago, and apparently confirmed jan 22 as launch day 'bar any major happenings', and some form of beta before then... though why they bother with a few days open beta is beyond me...
 
Yep looking forward to this, been waiting for a mmo for ages. I hope this will fill some time..

Will this be available online to download? or will it need to be picked up in a shop?

Also anyone know the pricing?
