Lich King has lots of PvP in it. It's a game focused on PvP.  Who the hell is going to be left playing Darkfall after Lich King is out?

Okay there's no way I could be described as a fanboi, or even a fan for that matter. But this sentance LMFAO!!!

Yea at first I thought he was some kind of WoW hater being sarcastic in some way...then i cringed when i realized he was being serious lol.

Good for a laugh though.

Actually EvE has something like 310,000 people on it now but the OP's point is still valid i just feel tho that due to the lack of openess from Darkfalls Devs till recently has been responcable for most of its bad reputation.

I have to agree with all of the nay-sayers...I can see Darkfall settling in at around 20-50K subscribers, given a very good release.

I really can't imagine this genre magically expanding to the realm of a grind-fest MMO.  It's just not as appealing to the masses to have all of your shit stolen because you suck at a game...  Judging from most of the negative comments towards this title, most of the people claiming, "Nay!" will suck. (A few of the "Yay!"ers, too)

Also, like someone further up had said, it's not about the number of players, once the company gets its money; it's about the quality...Hopefully the quality of players won't correspond to this forum's posters.

Praise the lords I'm not everyone eh?

This is a fun game though...making up facts to make your argument sound better in your head.  Im going to be the president in 2012...that not opinion...its a FACT!

That's what you do all the time. And what 90% of the people who have followed this have been doing for the last 7 years.

Until this launches and makes a PROFIT it's a failure. This is a fact.

and YES -- this is still 100% Vaporware. Until it launches commercially and you can login to it after paying for your account ---  it remains vaporware.

Ah well, when I don't agree with the haters apparently I am making up numbers yet I got these numbers out of interviews, reports and Wiki, not from my arse like some of the Nay-sayers lol.

In the end deny as much as you want there is a community out there for DF as long as it does a decent job. Decent meaning better than AoC, Vanguard and others. It's the same sized community that has followed any of these style of games that did a decent job. With out the massive advertising you see with many of the MMO's today DarkFall has managed to get 160k on the official forums that know about the game but it doesn't stop there, DF is talked about on many forums and in many places. Those that aren't fans tend to say either the game is pure fail or that they would try it out if it ever launched.  I mean many in the gamming community know about it, it's kind of hard to deny that. It's been talked about on the AoC forums, War forums, WoW forums, UO Forums, EQ2 Forums, DnL forums, General forums and many other places.

Some of you want to keep doing a few things that just isn't logical.

1) You seem to want people to believe that no ones heard of DarkFall. Oddly enough it's being discussed everywhere, the more info that comes out the more discussions that pop up. The more likely it is to launch the more that come and sign up on the official forums.

2) You seem to want to convience people there just isn't a community out there for this type of MMO, and if there is one it will only be a hand full of players. Granted it is a niche, but that community is out there guys sorry and it's not the hand full of people you try to make it out to be.

Call the numbers I posted regarding different games made up if you want, I mean what your saying is those interviews, reports and the info on the Wiki are made up. Which is fine thats your opinion, but quit trying to make it sound like I am pulling numbers out of my arse, I did my research as you might want to try.

Someone I think said L2 doesn't count cause it's Korean..... I just wanted to point out that gamers are gamers man, hell Asians were a large part of the UO community atleast towards the end. You really and truely think EA would keep UO up and running and still make expantions for it if it only had a handful of NA and EU players.

Bottom line is as long as the game is Decent there is a community waiting for it. Some have already jumped on bored some are waiting to see how things go because they fell once bitten, twice shy.

And to the comment Lichking has PvP comming......... your kidding right? Omg I am going to quit following DarkFall and go order Lichking right now, omg omg omg, why didn't someone tell me sooner..... ah wait.... I don't like WoW in the first place so never mind. I mean what you are calling PvP looks more like Carebears with Nerf Bats to me. But that is just me, I am actually glad WoW is doing more PvP wise. Might get more people interested in PvP then they may be willing to look for a real game with real PvP.

Sorry WoW just seems to easy to me, I mean if William Shatner can play WoW then there just isn't much challenge lol.

bro wiki is not a credible source but ok. Anyways this game will be a failure in my eyes untill its at least released if it ever gets to that point ill be impressed mainly because its been in developement for over 7 years with little to no word on whats going on. Get used to it.

Easy sells and makes money.

Hard and challenging doesn't.

People want to have fun when they play games. Not be griefed and lose all their stuff.

So in reality -- they basically built this game to NOT make any money.  They designed it around old ideas like AC1 Darktide which had the lowest population of all the servers with only a few hundred people on at peak times..

They basically built a game to attract the least amount of people to it. lol

They have the business sense of goats. Which is one more reasion why it's going to fail.
