The folks at Darkfall have announced that they are sending out another round of beta invites.

We sent out the second batch of beta invites last night and we’re going to continue inviting people as needed by our testing process. There’s no ETA to the invites, we’re moving along based solely on our needs. We might invite more people in as early as tonight, and as frequently as every day. The testers are under strict NDA and it would be very unfortunate if we had to ban people and/or to modify our testing - so we would like to ask everyone to respect our process and procedures, even those of you not yet in the beta.

If you’re not in the beta yet, please don’t take this personally, it’s likely you don’t fit our immediate testing needs. There are a lot of criteria, but it can be as simple as hardware, location, time zone etc. We appreciate your understanding as we're trying to get Darkfall ready, we take this process very seriously.

Still waiting to hear from one person in beta that the game exists and you can actually play it.   Wouldn't it be interesting if this was all a charade?

hehe true... but imagine this: If the game was actually for real, then it has been one of the smartest moves in gaming history... They have spent nearly nothing on marketing, and still the game is the most hyped game ever..

SWG pre cu/nge wanted!

 

I don't believe there really is a beta going on. I don't believe this game is anything but a hoax.

Agreed. If a dxdiag with a Quad Core, 8GB Ram, 5TB HD is not enough, then they are not inviting anyone. :P

Yea i firmly believe that all those people at that technology conference that were watching a live version of DF being played were all robots and all the developers were CGI or aliens.

Also, all the TV channels and Magazines that did reports on DF in the last month were government scams to get your first born child.

<3

Good news though as we are discussing it on the DF boards as well as the official ones.  I think everyone just gets worked up too quickly when they dont get instant results.  It was bad seeing everyone get all pissy because there was no update on the 10th.  The developers are people too guys and are obviously working hard.

Good luck getting into beta everyone and nice to see MMORPG.com showing some love to the updates...it gets pretty brutal on this site when DF comes up (as you can see)

"The monsters are tough. I was looking for a challenge, but these things are just too damn smart." -DF Beta Tester

"If people were dismissing it, then they wouldn't be talking about it. The well-meaning gamers root for efforts that try to raise the bar. So who's left? It's so easy being a skeptic." -Tasos

Lord of language, landscape-lover

On a note, they said they'll be testing hardware and such. Meaning, even if you're computer is the most godliest thing ever, they'll probably choose someone who can barily run a browser based game so they can see how well performance is. Just throwing it out there.

I'm amazed that men like you can be so shallow, thick and slow. There is not a man among you who will care whether I come or go....not one...not one of you

Thats pretty widespread configuration nowadays. My Athlon 2.5 hhz is much more valuable in the matter of testing on every possible system config

And nope, I`m still not in ...

Buy the ticket, take the ride.

Nostalgia is bad.

Going out on a limb putting this in news. Have the DF fanboys been complaining about lack of coverage for their psuedo-announcements?
