Darkfall actually began development in 2000 , not 2002

in Darkfall

I'm curious as to where that lie about starting in 2002 came from. I remember the original people who started on Darkfall promised their guildmates in Asheron's Call that they could play the first beta in summer of 2000, a full two years before they supposedly started. I guess that was all wiped clean (and under the rug) when they merged ?

    So this is a guild project?  This is a game by guildies and for guildies?  Oh boy, I smell some SERIOUS ethical issues coming down the pipe with this one.

    I'm sorry, but anyone that has any association to the developers of this game should not be able to play on live servers IF and WHEN this game ever launches.  Sure, they can have their own server to play on and they can invite their friends to that server if they choose.  When you combine real devs on real servers, you end up with real issues.  Every game has proven this and a few games have even had GMs that were stupid enough to get caught red handed.  Right, EVE and Shadowbane fans?

     

    Fear not fanbois, we are not trolls, let's take off your tin foil hat and learn what VAPORWARE is:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware

    "Vaporware is a term used to describe a software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge after having well exceeded the period of development time that was initially claimed or would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product."

    I'm not sure where the 2002 and 2003 start dates came from either. Here's a gamespot article on Drakfall from August 2, 2001

    http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/darkfall/news.html?sid=2801152&mode=recent

    Clearly Darkfall's development began before 2002.

    Because it makes them feel better to lie to themselves. If they had to admit they were following a game thats been in developement for 8 years and is still it Alpha, it would depress them.

    Does anyone remember the name of the guild that started the Darkfall Online project?

    The problem is that it looks like none (or very few) of the original guys are around anymore. For example Claus , he was one of the main guys back than and no one has heard anything about him or from him in like over a year. And theres like 2 others..

    No it wasn't. It's exactly the same concept. I should know. I followed it from 2001-2003'ish.. Very little if anything at all changed since than.

    aw...c'mon now DF fans..... lets not make stuff up.... quoted from the link in a previous post in this very thread....

    "The massively multiplayer game is set in a medieval fantasy world inhabited by a variety of creatures and races. The game will focus primarily on player vs. player combat and large-scale wars between different races. It will also feature hundreds of skills and spells in order to make combat more interesting."

    That sure sounds like the same basic premise that DF is working towards today.  Sure, more bells and whistles, and of course, the game engine had to be re-designed (the real question, does it need to be re-designed again?) but face the fact folks.... DF as a concept has been around since at least 2001...and more likely 2000 as some have quoted.

    At the rate of completion theyre going to have to upgrade their graphics once every few years just to keep up with the current demand of computers that ARENT FREAKING PLAYING IT.

    They effectively made the game look like complete shit since 2003...  the 2006-2007 visuals look horrible compared to the 2003 versions..

  • Zaraki199Zaraki199 Member Posts: 101

     

     

    and when did i say 2003-2007 for a change of graphics i meant 2001-2003  lol man you really need to pay more attention your losing badly i must say

    http://i13.tinypic.com/6uqsdgk.jpg <2002

  • SLI2000SLI2000 Member Posts: 104

    I said they were from 2003 you illiterate Baboon.

    "and why did you upload the worst screenshots that they have that they Took on the lowest settings possible?"

    I didn't.   I uploaded what THEY RELEASED. It's not my fault they have shitty screenshots.

    Nothing you spew out of your biased fanboy mouth will change the fact that DF's graphics look GOD AWEFUL compared to what they used to look like before they butchered them into the pixelated ,  poorly lighted , mess that they currently are today.

  • Zaraki199Zaraki199 Member Posts: 101

    wtf are you talking about yea you did? BUT YOU POSTED THE LOWEST SETTING POSSIBLE screenshots just to prove your point right? 

    Why are you going to such great length to slander darkfall if your not fing being payed if your not then

    i guess your the person that was harrassing the darkfall devs after your stupid mmo project failed

    YEA i said they did a graphics changes in 2002-2003 not 100% on when between them times

    look at the 2002 screenshot i posted

  • SLI2000SLI2000 Member Posts: 104

    shut up you idiot.

  • Zaraki199Zaraki199 Member Posts: 101

    aww is sli getting pissed because im right im not bais i like AOC graphics, i mite even play it who knows but i think these will do just fine for this type of game  so how am i Bias

    im not the one thats slandering a game that not even out yet im just watching it and defending it from people that get pissed off so easy like you

    btw you may want to stop ig ot proof of you calling me a jack....  but i dont really care so im not going to report you

     on what they released out of 400 plus screen shots youhand picked the worst ones way to go

  • ButcherBillButcherBill Member Posts: 32

    haha

    The 2 screenshots from 2003 still look nicer quality than the one you posted from 2007 Z.

    You said they redid the screenshots from 2001-2003?   What does that matter if they still look worse now than they did back in 2003?
