Darkfall

Do you believe in Darkfall ?  By that i mean that  it will be release one day ?

This might have been a valid question months ago.  It's kind of silly to think it's vapor now that it's on its way out the door.

At this point, it's obviously a real game, and it's obviously going to see a release.

The question that remains is how stable the game is going to be when paying customers get their hands on it. That's something that we won't know until we play it.

If you would of asked me prior to today I would of said sure I believe, but where is the proof. Today I must say I was impressed and must now get into their beta.

Stupid thread could someone close this , useless clutter.

I dont get it!

The video changes nothing. Darkfall was in the same state the day before the video as it was the day after. Aventurins works as hard now as they did before.

Darfall didnt magically appear one day. Its the result from a small Indie developer working thier asses of for a long time.

I'm still not convinced that Darkfall exists and that won't change until either I, or someone I know has played it.

All the video did was show off a game engine, which any half-asleep game dev could do.

I would love to believe in the game, but there are too many ifs, buts, and maybes surrounding it.

the only if is will the server hold or bust when beta starts
 

This actually IS kind of an interesting question. Here's why...

There is no way to truly know if this game WILL release. Period.

You can only know whether it HAS or HAS NOT  released. If the game hasn't released, then you must choose either to believe or disbelieve in it's ultimate launch. If the game has launched or collapsed, then the matter has resolved and there's nothing to believe in. The belief that this game is or is not going to release is tantamount to a religious faith.

Are you a believer or a heretic?

An interesting facet of belief is that it's nature is self-fulfilling. That is, if you believe something to be the case, you will generally come to interpret information available to you in a way that supports your belief rather than undermines it.

That is why the arguments on this board won't end until the game is either released or collapses.

And like a religion it is the IDEA, the CONCEPT of the game that has so enthralled the minds of the gaming public. It promises the nirvana of MMOs.

And the video that just released... It could have looked like just about anything. As long as it didn't change the fact that, in the minds of the faithful, the CONCEPT remained intact and secure.

IMO, the worst thing that could happen to the most fanatically faithful would be to play this game, since they would then be forced to reconcile the IDEAL of this game as it has existed for eight years in their minds with the reality of the game that they play with all its flaws and imperfections. That's why, if this game does ever launch, the greatest detractors of this game are going to come from within the flock of the most faithful itself.
