Darkfall - Jan 22nd (maybe...)

its got nothing to do with valuing money. Its simply that I have plenty of money in the bank and £40 to try something out makes no impact on my money at all. If I didnt spend the £40 on it I would most likely just "waste" it on a needless pizza or an equally needless pair of jeans or something.

Well it has got something to do with valuing money, as you again state that spending £40 means nothing to you.

Anyway this is way off topic now so we should just let people talk about the game. I hope it turns out to be another UO for you.

And my offer of taking £40 off you still stands ;)

If you were referencing me in the pizza comment, I merely used pizza because it was topical as I had just spent a load on pizza that day. For continued reference, I am not single (been married for 18 years), have a kid, do have bills, have my own house so I dont live with parents. (Though admittedly I dont have any money cares)

You have a wife and kids but no money cares? I really doubt that lol

Edit: I had to reply to that lol
 
Well, frankly £40 doesnt mean much to me, not because I dont value money though. I fully understand the value of money. Its just that I also understand how £40 on a game which may give me months of pleasure strikes me as a better deal than £40 spent on any number of other pasttimes/items (in terms of time/cost ratio)

I too hopes it turns out to be another UO, most likely it wont, but the only way I can know for certain is if I try it and see.

Nah, its alright, I dont give out money to anonymous strangers. Its probably part of the reason why my bank balance is so healthy :D
 
Anyway, back to the game!

Unless they pull their fingers out in the next 15 mins its looking like they missed their deadline of having the game available to download. Pretty shocking show from them so far, can't add cc details, cant pre-order and game not available when stated. Not looking good :(.

They've been like that everytime they announced a date. Don't hold your breath. :p But fingers crossed I suppose.

Yeah, looks like their website is all over the place at the moment, I added my cc details but couldnt get the preorder page working (although I see from the forums that quite a few people have got their preorder placed).

I don't think they're systems are strong enough for the demand. (My assumptions aren't accurate though. :p)
 
Theres this :

It was just confirmed to us that a large network provider in the US is facing a serious network issue and this is affecting an account management service we're using. As a result account creation and pre-ordering are timing out.

We finished with the upgrades to our webservers 5 hours ago and we've been handling the load with no problems, but there are problems communicating with our account management service due to the ISP issues mentioned above. We left the service running for them to be able to troubleshoot the problem. A small percentage of the requests are getting through but most are timing out. Now that the issue has been pinpointed we will turn preorders off but we'll stay at work until it's fixed or until we have some kind of ETA to report. We're assured there's a top priority on this.

Again, we apologize for the delay and for any frustration that this may be causing. We'll let you know immediately when we know something. As far as the client and installer download which should have been up today, we need to hold off until the pre-orders are up or until we have an ETA.

Bit of a fudge up, but not the first MMO to mess up on such a thing I suppose. I can think of two recently released mainstream MMOs who had similar issues with their releases/signups and they had much larger budgets/infrastructures.

No rush though, its not like I could check it out before the 25th anyway. :)

I have tried VPN solutions and all sorts of things, but have not tried using a shell yet as I dont want to pay out the money without being 100% that I can get it working. I have also tried Proxies with Proxifier, SocksCap etc.

If these dont work, will SSH tunnels?

I used the www.your-freedom.net total service when I was in Uni accommodation, maxed out my 10Mb connection, and I got 5 server ports to tunnel pack to my machine so I could host - I was running a nice web server over it taking advantage of the 10Mb upload :)
Worked fine for torrents, DC++ etc.
 
seriously, this does not bode well. Hope theyre not rushing to release, weve been waiting for this for so long another couple of months wouldnt have hurt.
