I don't think Darkfall will ever be released. It's really sad, if it would hit the shelves with the features they're planning, it would completely wipe the floor with every other MMORPG out there.. It's vaporware, but still a nice daydream to have

03ish as in 2003? Jeez I didnt know that.
It will come out I'm sure but got knows when. As for their first mmorpg, well that may have some affect but take UO for example. I don't really know its history that well (although I loved to play it) but I read somewhere one of the programmers saying that it was there first mmo, and that was quite the awesome game back in the day (until they spoiled it with crappy expansions and add ons in my opinion)
Um, that's all the positive cliches I can think of at the moment.
Anyway I don't mind a game being finished properly as opposed to rushed to retail with so many bugs it's more frustrating than enjoyable. (And we've all seen enough of those). So I'll sit patiently and expect a great product when all is said and done. "Yes" it will be done in my opinion. Way too much time and effort put into this to abandon.

MMOG development 101: time is money.
102: Maintaining a mmog costs money. Distributing a mmog costs money. Establishing yourself in the market (takes time) costs money. And we arent talking about hundreds of dollars here. Even in the case of the laughable Darkfall online a good couple of million if not more probably already went in. What is miraculous and suspicious at the same time is what kind of investors would take this nightmare.
Everyone keeps talking about how games are unfinished and only become more stable after 1/3 months of patching. And we are talking about major companies here with shitloads of funds...blizzard, SOE, Mythic, NCsoft. There comes a point where investors start losing their patience and rush mode starts. Now think about Aventurine SA and put that in perspective.
Time+money+nooboverambitiousdevs= project cancelled or....released as freeware if someone gets sentimental.
Been following the game 5.5 year or so.. and yeah someday it probably will happen. I am not gonna waste my time checking forums every day - did that for some years
If it will live up to the expectations - who knows, we will have to see. The main reason I am a believer is that all interviews, all questions answered by devs, they give the exact answer I want to hear (except when it comes to dates). No vague answers about pvp like other mmorpg's - straight to the point. These guys have the same mindset as me and my guild, hell even played with some of the devs in previous games, so no wonder.
And also the guys just seem to be very dedicated and believe 100% in the success of their game, and never waver a bit, when confronted by non-believers.
Having followed the game for over 3 years all I can say is that it has evolved positively. A great deal of work has been done and yes I do believe it will be released. The only reason I can offer for the game not being released is if there was a lack of interest from the public. That however is not the case, just the opposite. It has a very large fan base and in particular strong support by established guilds.
Where is the large fan base? Only 150 and so people voted here and the majority thinks it wont happen. Question is not if its gonna happen or not. Question actually is, after so much delay how will it stand out competing other games, or for how long people will happily still play that sort of games. Eve is already out there going marvelous and soon we will also have fresh ideas like PotBS
Becouse of games like WoW and GW there are so many more mmo players out there these days who wanne have more out of pvp then the carebear pvp you get in those 2 games i mention before.
And DFO will give that ,plus so much more.
Darkfall will have plenty of oldschool players plus all who love true open pvp.
It will have no competion at all its CLASS of its own when released.
Darkfall open pvp with full loot no lvls skillbased !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I first heard of darkfall coming out even before AC2 so that slots in 2002 release.Now thats 5 years behind now .I seriously have my doubts this will ever make it out alive.
My view nope it will never make it. I first heard of darkfall coming out even before AC2 so that slots in 2002 release.Now thats 5 years behind now .I seriously have my doubts this will ever make it out alive.
The you've been misinformed.
I can't recall any realease dates announced about a 2002 release regarding DFO, I bet most of the avid followers of DFO have not heard about a 2002 release date.
I wont bother reading the posts I will just say this, I know from personal exeriance first hand that this is not vaporware. Ppl can think what they want but there is a Darkfall out there and it looks very much like it is actually going to happen.
well of course its comin unless they screw up and don't. but n-ewayz it sounds wayyy tight to give up like that.still confused tho how their gunna get all this figured out.yet for sure its comin, so just stick with wutever mmorpg game u got now and pray it happens.this game seems as if its something to
First of all, the game sounds awesome. With what the devs are promising here, Darkfall could very well break EVERY mold of the MMO genre. However, after years and years of development and no end in site, its not fair to bash everyone who brings this up, because it works both ways. Not one single person who has heard about this game has actually played it. So we can't possibly judge Darkfall on its promises alone now can we? So is it fair to slaughter anyone who is sceptical of a game that is in all forms still non-existant? From a consumer standpoint, no. There's no need to flame the poster because hes not bashing the game in the first place. He said he thinks the game will be great if it banks on its promises in the first place! Be realistic and see this from other people's points of view.
I signed up to say that I also doubt Darkfall will ever be released. Its been in development for so many years and has nothing to show for it but some ugly screenshots and a couple short videos. A friend of mine once joked that he was worried the developers would die from old age before they could finish the game.
It would be one damn thing if the Dev's came out and talked a little more to keep spirits up of the people waiting on Darkfall. The mother FKing Dev's release a few words every so many months and each time its the same damn thing you read about the last time. If you post ANYTHING on the DF forums that has to do with how much longer, your post gets deleted FAST. I think that DF Dev's do not have a cash flow on the making of the game. I think that Darkfall gets worked on in spirts as they gather a few bucks and this is the reason why its taking FOREVER.

Patience is a Virtue
All good things come to those who wait

The devs didnt start for real until late 2003 when they moved from Oslo to Athen.
They got from 4 to 20+ developers, so really it has just been in dev for 3.5 years. And 5 years in not unusual for a MMO.
And remember thet begun in 1995 to plan the game
