    Ya right.  Just like AoC was feature complete all the way until two weeks from launch.  Hell, even two days before launch the game director admitted that BATTLE KEEP SIEGES were not avaiable yet, along with a host of other features that were "in", but not really.

    DFO will be the exact same way.  They have 1/10 the staff and think they can deliver 3x as much game as AoC.  We'll see.  My bet is that this "feature complete" list of DFO will take a decade or two to make it into the live game.

     

     

    Just because one company is incompetant doesn't mean another is. We knew Funcom didn't have a good release track record. With Aventurine we don't, maybe they'll be better, maybe they'll be worse. We'll see. People have faith in the IDEA. The rest is yet to be judged.

    A bigger company doesn't mean a more complete game, its just not logical. In fact, some larger companies are actualy WORSE than small companies at releasing what they promise.

    I could have told you ages ago that AoC wasn't going to have those features in at release, shouldn't have shocked anyone but the blind fanboys. 1/10 the staff? Where'd you find those figures lol. Fail less.

    
     

    Easy.  Funcom has over 300 employees and Aventurine is said to have 30.  Thus, 1/10th the staff, i.e. 10%.  Even if it is 200 employees for Funcom, it dwarfs Aventurine's staff.

    Tasos stated on June 20th:

    <<<A couple of things that have us excited: The Darkfall world has been up in its entirety and seeing it all together we have to say that it’s a truly massive world, it’s larger than some countries.>>>

    This statement causes me to believe they just completed the game. Far from testing but completed. 

    
     

    The last time I checked, the Vatican is considered a country. Some tiny islands are countries.   They need to specify this or it is more AoC-type hype without merit.  As such, saying that DFO is bigger than some coutries doesn't mean a thing.

    Well you heard it her first folks, according to Aragon and Tasos apparently:-

    Darkfall will be released in a few months.

    Darkfall will be released in 2008.

    Darfkall will be distributed by AVE in Europe

    Darkfall has been adequately tested by professional QA testers.

    Darkfall Beta will start a few weeks before launch.

    Darkfall Beta will be only last a few weeks.

    Darkfall is already very polished and 100% feature complete.

    Darkfall will release a comprehensive gameplay video soon.

    I sincerely hope you and Tasos are right about all of this, but I doubt it no matter how much I would like it to be true.

     

    True, all statements is quotes from Tasos except very polished game which is my own statement. A few weeks beta as Tasos wrote have been misunderstood as 2 weeks which isnt accurate or what he ment. Tasos version of a few weeks is more then 2 weeks, just to clarify.

    
     

    Considering we were suppose to have a new video "very soon" and that was promised over two months ago now, I would expect beta to last at least a few months, maybe even year.  This is Greece we are talking about and NOTHING moves fast in Greece wtih the exception of traffic.

     

    Remember, there -IS- a new video. It was shown to a bunch of guys in a conference in Greece.

     

    Of course, the fans and followers of Darkfall don't need to be presented with new videos. I mean...why would they want that? They've got text-updates after all.

     

    Oh wait.

    
     

    There is no proof that the video that Tasos showed at the conference was a new video.  The video shown at the conference could very well have been the last video update we had.  If they had a new video, I'm sure we would have seen it already because people have been screaming for it on the official forums for the last month and Tasos insists it isn't ready yet.

     You must read up on the company history since you obviously lack alot of info on Aventurine.

    US, December 13, 2002 - Over on the Darkfall Online official site today, there is a note about Razorwax moving to Athens to be closer to their recently acquired publisher:

     

    Razorwax has signed a publishing deal for Darkfall with a Greek publisher. We have moved Razorwax from cold and snowy Oslo, Norway to warm and sunny Athens, Greece. This move was done for various reasons, most importantly to be closer to our publisher, but the climate doesn't hurt either :)

    Signing a publishing deal has made us able to hire more (and much needed) developers. We now have a team of 14 extremely talented people working fulltime on Darkfall. Three more will be hired shortly.

    An official press release will be issued after the holidays with more information.

    In the meantime, you should discuss this amazing news with us on our boards! :)

    -Claus

     

    Aragon your doing it again, remember that reading comprehension ,your links are from 2007 and 2008.

    Razorwax announced they had signed a publishing deal with Aventurine in December 2002.

     

    Polarization,

    Please don't try to cloud the issue with FACTS.  Aragon100 and his army of fanbois will not have it.  Besides, when December 31 comes and goes without a launch, we can all sit here and laugh at the fanbois of DFO.
     

    The sad part is, Aventurine keeps talking about this "self publishing plan" that they are holding above all the publishers heads out there saying "you have to beat this if you want our business", yet they don't show anyone this "plan".  I think the plan, like the game, is nothing more than vaporware.  Hopefully, Aventurine can prove me wrong.

     

     

    Still, we are playing other games, hang out with our girlfriend/childs and have a job. And looking forward for something new to fall back and relax with. Some here are just here 18h/day trying to convice the world that Aventurine and Darkfall is a hoax. Wich of this are most pathetic?

    
     

    Gee, have not posted in a week and so that I did today I'm a troll spending 18hours/day here?  Give me a break.  And for the record, just because something is vaporware, doesn't mean it is a hoax.
