Darkfall

We feel that the Darkfall community deserves an update on the state of the game, this being the last day of Septemeber. We had said that we expect to be in beta this month and there has been a lot of speculation and uncertainty about what we meant by that.

We've been in a tech beta since September 2nd, testing, working on bugs, tuning and tweaking, adding content, and building the world. We're slightly behind schedule in some areas of development, ahead of schedule in others, and we're always working on new things, the latest being an optional third person perspective that can fit in with our gameplay design. Overall we're very happy with the progress, we don't have any serious problems, and we believe that we'll be able to deliver an advanced beta build for playtesting before long.

Our idea of playtesting involves a playable Darkfall. We haven't been busting our asses all this time to deliver a world with nothing to do in it. We had that 18 months ago during pre-alpha testing as some of you know firsthand, and we don't think that that's the kind of beta everyone has been looking forward to.

What you can look forward to in the immediate future as we move forward with our closed beta, is the beta registration process for individual players and for guilds to open up, a new Darkfall website, screenshots from our current build, in-game movies, and of course our regular content updates. We'll also give the Darkfall community members the opportunity to become more actively involved within the community, and with the game.

In the meanwhile we're doing our best to get everything ready, and we'll do what we can to keep you up to date on Darkfall's progress.

Thank you for your continued support.

Posting stuff 90% of the people already know proves what?

There claim for this is that they scrapped the old one and began again passing on some art assets and general game design yata yata.

Will they deliver this time.  We do not know not much we can do besides sit and wait.

Heh actually no, I didnt notice that. Burn.

Troll much?

think the original post is trying to let the old post speak for itself or something.  Just one other reason why this is thread is an epic fail.

Predictable, as usual. This thread is designed for the trolls so they can come here and say "see we told you so" and continue pretending the whole thing is a big conspiracy.

Grow up, guys. Seriously.

Polar, there is no point in bringing up the botched release of 4 years ago. It has been noted, commented and partly justified.
