Darkfall devs = massive posers
specifically this Tasos guy.. The guy has to be one of the biggest posers I've ever seen.
People wonder why people are actually starting to hate this game. There's lots of games that are in development forever but no one gets on their case. There's a reason why people are annoyed with these guys to the point where they actually start hating on this whole thing and that reason is because they constantly blow their horns and try to act like big shots while at the same time show absolutely nothing to back up all their grand claims some of which border on being completely absurd.
These people are called posers. They talk big but really have nothing back up anything they say. They try to sound amazingly important but yet fail to deliver when it matters time and time again.
Lately though this Tasos guy has been pretty quiet. Maybe he learned his lesson after he was called out publically at Warcry... But then again perhaps not considering he made more unsubstanciated claims about his past work history in a recent Greek interview and failed to correct any of it when he was given the opportunity to do so by the editor.

I dunno... true I guess, I've followed Darkfall for 3 years now and im starting to lose hope... 2008 release? Yeah right, not at all possible...
Exactly :S Closed beta is usually a year minimum before release
New account whose first post involves creating a new thread slamming (or praising) DF. Never seen that before. Post on your main account son. (or quit getting your main banned)
Not telling anyone here anything new, DF's development has been full of empty promises and broken dreams.
It will be either the best game evah or one of the biggest flops in gaming history.
Or it may just go quietly into the night and never see the light of day.

Whats a "poser"?
I have never heard that word before. And its very brave of you OP, to waste your first post on this.
Try reading his post again champ... He's describes basically what a "poser" is.
Doesn't matter if this is his first or one thousand and first post. It's his opinion and he's entitled to it.
I saw this EXACT same post over Darkfall forums, it got deleted in 1 minute by a mod because you are obvious a SAD TROLL. Seriously,
you nut jobs need to chill out. Darkfall will come out, new video in 2 weeks, and I can guarantee that vapor-posers like you will be crying tears of disappointment when Darkfall releases within 2008. 
Thats all.
Well, basically, it's a term we used to use in the '80's, mainly a skater term, but can apply to anyone. A "poser" is someone who tries to give the appearance of someone they are not, and does poorly at it. Like a "preppy" putting on a flannel shirt and saying they're a "stoner".

lol, i saw this same post somewhere else in these forums but it was from 2003
And saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade that, with it, thou mayest blow thine enemies to tiny bits....in thy mercy."
lol ok copper that was orginal
Except for very limited info on the main game concept they hardly ever say anything.
Most of the hype regarding Darkfall is mere speculation from fans.
How can this be posing? In fact it's exact opposite.
Are you sure your not getting confused with Paul Barnett from WAR?
Ironic.

Indeed he is...
It is really very rare to find people of this kind in real life, but when you do, you can tell what he is miles away.. First symptoms to watch out for, are grotesque remarks usually hidden in numbers that are only used for impressions. Things like 10000 players all at once on a persisting server some 10 years back, or 3 million users in an undisclosed supposedly list while at the same time just 50k registered users exist on their forums within this decade and only 200-300 of them active as we speak..
These remarks are so grotesque, that one can assume that either he is a lunatic or he has done it and its revolution. He is just another scammer trying to justify his lies to his investors provided he has anyone left..
Actually, the word you're looking for is poseur
And Tasos is anything but that. Poseurs want attention, and will say/do anything to get it. You'd be lucky to squeeze 20 words out of Tasos per month. Assuming you can even find him.
He is the great anti-poseur.
poser
1. someone who immitates or tries to be something he is not.
prove it
Prove what? I don't have to prove anything. Tasos already proves it everytime he opens his mouth.
Maybe this Tasos guy should actually PROVE something for once eh?
Actually, poseurs is the French word for posers... anyway
Check the definition again, because you simply miss the point. It's NOT the count of words one say in a month, but what he says. He is an original poser about that and also from the worst kind: he has entered the realm of deception/lies/scam long time ago...
anti poseur ..... LOL

prove it or step out the door please
Why don't you say the same thing to Tasos everytime he speaks?

Tasos is, so why dont you call him out like you do everyone else? That was the point, and I suspect you are smart enough to know it.
How about some big talk from Tasos. Lets take a peek at just some things he said in ONE article.
Tasos Flambouras: We're preparing for beta testing as we speak; you can apply on this page of our website. It's a huge job, and we want it done right. The start of the beta is affected by multiple variables, and not just development ones. The same goes for Darkfall's launch date. Once we have a date that we're reasonably sure of, we'll announce it immediately. The additional time taken to work on the game was a decision made in an effort to make Darkfall directly competitive with the largest MMOG titles out there. Nobody is going to feel they've stepped down by switching to Darkfall, or play Darkfall as an alternative to their main game.
Tasos Flambouras: Regrettably, we've had to pass up many publicity opportunities in the past year, due to the hardcore development focus, the limited showcase capability, and the very limited time to spend time on anything other than development.
But the main reason is that we decided that it's time to show Darkfall, rather than keep talking about it - we believe that it will speak for itself better than we ever could. It's also impossible to compete head-on with the coverage and the professional buzz generated by marketing, media, and PR departments working for the 'big games'. We've dedicated our resources to development, knowing that our game can compete a lot better than our publicity can. Once we've shown what we can do, I believe that what we say will make a bigger impact.
Tasos Flambouras: It's getting close to the point where people will get the chance to playtest the game. If they aren't looking at Darkfall now, they'll probably wish they had been.
So, the usual "preparing for beta" crap. They boast a game that can compete with the largest titles out there. And further, they say it is time for the game to speak for itself - since it rocks so hard, of course. If you are not following Darkfall now, you will wish you had been!
Here is the problem. All that was said on Nov 28, 2005, almost 3 years ago. They never did walk their talk. Surprise!
