Darkfall

I think the "modest"  numbers senario most talk of will be accurate.....however.......if they  implement a faction server ruleset at some point I see  hundreds of thousand joining the game who are x DAOC or current WAR players.

that would make tasos aliar so no the features are in

 

Tasos has been lying about beta for the last 5 years. So what is your point?

 

hes been guessing never promising

With 120k subs and growing on the forums after beta announcement i think 100k subs at game release are a realistic number. Even if it gets only as far as 150k, that's enough for LotRO to keep running, release patches and expansions.

The game isn't trying to be a WoW killer, clutching people for their money as long as they can through endless grinding. They just present something that has been lacking for so long in MMOs - fun and player freedom to build, to destroy, to change, to be somebody, instead of playing a static grinder, being told by NPCs that you're a great hero like they've told 9 milion before you.

No he has been lying. in August of 2003, he said beta will start next month. 5 years later, beta hasn't started. That is a lie. And a really huge lie at that

I'm excited for this game too, however, I remember Shadowbane and how much the Devs loved that game. It all comes down to money and appeal. The Devs don't have enough money to create a polished game, so it will not appeal to the majority used to WoW off the bat. It will also have limited appeal due to its open sandbox nature, which attracts the PvP ganker types.

I'll be honest, the game impresses me a great deal, however, the community does not, since they are so hung up on PvP, even though the game isn't centered on PvP. Just because a game has open pvp, doesn't mean the game is a PvP game. It means the game is an actual world you can live in, where your actions have consequences and where you can build your own nation. Sure, there will be PvP involved with that and I cannot wait. But to think that everyone will be these anti-social PvP types, leaving the more mature types like me the minority is scary. I'd rather get together with a mature bunch of people, who want to explore the Darkfall world, build a city, and prosper. Those aren't the first words you hear from Darkfall fanbois. The first words you hear from them are "open pvp."

My guild is as hardcore as it comes. We dont plan on only be involved in open PvP. We will explore, build a city, and prosper. And on top of that we will be involved in open PvP.

The ones you call immature and only is going for open PvP will be a minority in Darkfall and they will not prosper.

I asked you before to give us some quotes where he is lying.

So far you havent delivered a single one.

Darkfall will on a descent publish have 250.000 subs within a couple of months. This will grow to +500K subs.

20-50k....

its a small nieche game.

This is not year 2000.............niche game is based now on tens of million more potential online players, which 10 years ago weren t there.

250K-500K is a believable number providing that DF turn out to be what it claims, and it s not going to be another Dark n Light...........

400 put in 2 different clans for 200 vs 200 battles and i am a happy man.

As for the company dunno what  is for them required to be profitable, i don't think they need big numbers to survive. Taking the official forum numbers which are 120k+ then i think something about 100k customers will try at start and then depends on how playable the game is , the number will grow or sink.
