I don't even think there are 5 MMOs worth mentioning since 2004.

Botching a MMO release to the magnitude that AV botched this one is so 2004. Numerous recent companies have made nearly flawless launches. Procedures and best practices are established, AV has no excuse for not following them.

Seeing all these bitching posts is really quite hilarious. Why, you might ask? This is AV's FIRST TIME DOING THIS SHIT.

All this bitching really just shows how much we have really been catered to over the past few years. Because most of the new MMO's that have been comeing out have been by company's that have done this once, or twice before. They know what bad communication can do to a fan base. They know how game breaking bugs can fuck a launch. But despite their past MMO experience, and skill in dealing with things like this, they STILL suffer from these things at launch. It is just part of an MMO. If you are not over these facts by now, then you must of recently just started playing MMO's or have played very FEW MMO's over your years of play.

Add all that to the FACT that Adventurine is one of the most poorly funded, and smallest company's to create an MMO of this magnitude. And this is what you get, issues, just like every other fucking MMO.

Mind-boggling, isn't it? :blink:

I've gotta commend you guys that are still staying positive about this. You guys have a lot more patience than me. I think the main problem with myself and others is just that we really want to play Darkfall.

That's it! Nothing more. We just want to play. But the servers go down right after you get off of work and stay down until you have to be at work the next day. Or, you pre-order and they take your money but you can't log in. Or, you couldn't preorder because the webserver couldn't handle the rush and you couldn't get in. For whatever reason, people just want to play Darkfall. Some have only been waiting one or two months, and some have been waiting several years.

We got our hopes up that we'd be able to play and the best way to get to someone is to give them something then take it away.

Oh well. I'm not against Darkfall as a game by any means. I'm really eager to play it. It's just obvious that Aventurine has been having non stop management issues since the day the account server got leaked from beta. On top of that they've been using words like "soon" and "almost done" followed by another 12 hour wait. It's just frustrating that they're playing with us like a bunch of yo-yos.


P.S. All of you out there condoning this bad launch, I can't believe you. As common as it happens in the business, it comes at no surprise. But there is absolutely no reason to condone it. That's partly the reason why MMO launches haven't improved one bit in the last 10 or so years.

We know it's frustrating friend.
That's why we try to keep calm and talk to you when noone else is around.
I don't know why they're not communicating better than they are,
but from the record of the last weeks noone of them have slept more than a few hours a day, they're working beyond human capability and they ran face first into a bug-wall... To be fair I wouldn't say shit to the whiners at that point, nor would I even give a hump.. I'd just go to bed and fuck it for a few days.
They haven't. They're still working.. I know it's not good the way things are but in the bigger picture things are nothing short of a small miracle that they're still even around..

Maybe they should put a streaming video of them online, just so you can watch them work nonstop for days and nights on nothing but coffee.

Something tells me they are working to the bone to get this shit up and they just don't have time to even write 2 lines because they are all doing something to make it up to us.

Patience, young padawans. WoW had a bad launch too. As bad as this? Maybe not. Did they have 10x more funding? Definitely.

It's amazing how people tend to forget all the bad mmo-launches every single time a new one comes out. Or could it be that these people really are new to the genre and don't know jack shit?

Combination... DO remember that nearly 90% of ALL MMO players STARTED with WoW and haven't played anything beyond that.
We mustn't forget how much WoW increased the playerbase for the genre..
