Does anyone have rough numbers on the money spent on Darkfall so far, or how much investor funds they have received? Is this info available at all? I've seen lots of figures thrown around, but they all look like jokes or sarcasm. |

They said in a recent interview that they have spent 10m Euro's so far. |

No idea but I suspect it was a hell of a lot less. |

Interesting quote, but not really solid info. |

What kind of information are you looking for. I'm fairly certain that Aventurine's financial information isn't public :/ |

That's over $20 million American dollars. Really not a terribly low number for a game, especially one that has had 8 years to develop. I would imagine they have spent most of those 8 years with art (which seems to be a resource-heavy need for most MMO games) and probably a lot of that working with their engine. That is a reasonable amount of money to spend on MMO games. |

I'd imagine you take an efficiency hit when you have a larger development/management team. As well, they probably poured millions into advertising (not sure if that's included in the '100mill+'). |
