This is the way the Darkfall ends Not with a beta but a whimper. |
http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?t=58589 I see the community has already discovered a couple of news items so I'll briefly comment on them: As we've mentioned before we had been working on a self-publishing deal, and we've signed with AudioVisual Enterprises to work with us on the European distribution end of Darkfall's publishing. We will make an official announcement on this when it's time for it. Being a public company they are obligated to make a report of their dealings to the stock market and that's the announcement you read about. We're very happy to be working with them especially since we participate in the management of the project. About an article that appeared on a Greek game site on a short presentation I made at a Greek game developer conference, it's obvious that it contains many inaccuracies and mistakes due to limited knowledge on our game and company. I'm misquoted and misrepresented in the article and I sent them a correction request a few days ago but I see they haven't fixed it yet. What I said about Neocron specifically is that before Darkfall, the principles of Aventurine had looked at that game as a possible MMO title to be involved with. |

It's all coming together; hopefully we'll soon have the beta date. |

Interesting, this game may yet deliver. Well looks like AudioVisual Enterprise, are a proper legitimate company. If this game comes out this year, I will take back all that I have said, but until then, its still someones practical joke, and unless I see a release date or beta confirmation this yera, its still Vaporware. |

Possibly the longest thread title I've seen on here this year! To be honest, though, nothing short of a beta on my hard drive will make me believe anything about this game - there's only so many times I can swallow the same pill. |

How is this the same pill? This is the first time we have heard anything about Publishing. Now we are another step closer to seeing Darkfall. |

Technically that’s not entirely true, remember over 5 years ago Razorwax announced that they had found a Greek publisher for Darkfall called Aventurine.
Hopefully this time things will turn out differently, and so far they appear to be doing so. |

That which surrounds you, becomes you. |
I think what we are finding out is that many people, not just MMO gamers, lack patience.

Many people also lack common sense. Tasos tried to pad his resume and got caught. Isnt that obvious? He also could have posted the corrections for all of us to see...but did not. Typical. And as Polar pointed out, it was AVENTURINE that was to be the publisher for DF. Aventurine was FOUNDED just to fund and publish DF. |
