Funny that Darkfall has considerably better graphics than both WOW and War and both of those games are a success. Hard to see Darkfall also not succeeding given how many more features it has.

 

Anyone else think the OP is Catizone/Teedle/the persistent fail-troll that Tasos reported on all those years back? I thought he'd given up when he saw how good the video was, lol.

People said the same thing about Vanguard. Kekeke

How many people are going to pay an EXTRA monthly subscription in todays economy to play a mediocre at best product like Darkfall with nothing but questionable features , support, community... when they can (and already are) pay to play War or WoW , Lich King which are all proven products with millions of players, quality support and no questions about their longevity or product stability?

Darkfall is not a product waiting to launch.. it's a product waiting to fail.

We shall see what the economy is like in ten years time when the game, MIGHT release!

I dont know what the people who said that had been smoking. But everyone with half a brain was aware that the people behind vanguard came from EQ and it would probably be somewhat like EQ, so most of us thought it woul be shit, and it was.

It is always a bit of a laugh toi read a post like this every now and again.

I believe DFO will do well, credit crunch or not. These games are value for money.

I dont know about you, but the norm right now being 15$ a month and I will end up playing 40+ hours in that same time frame.  Sounds like a good price per hour for entertainment.  I cant even get that with cable.

Within a month, buying about 4 pints of beer would be the equivelent to the subscription of playing an mmorpg.

BUT THE 4 BEERS!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

This is hardly the worst economy ever. Banks were doing some stupid stuff and it caught up with them. Now things have to settle out. Times may be a bit harder but ups and downs are normal.

Also entertainment tends to do well in bad economic times due to the fact that people want a release form money pressures. Some people are thinking video games will be what movies were for people during the depression.

So much wrong with that one little block of text. The U.S. represents only about half of their fans, a little more than half actually, based on several polls, and the worst econemy ever? Give me a break, come back to me when we are at Great Depression level.

The "generic combat system" is lighyears ahead of any current combat system in an MMO, and the "dated graphics" you're talking about was one raw footage video at medium low settings. Fail more troll. I guess the vaportrolls that haven't coverted have just turned into "Well... it exists... but... it'll suck!"
