I mean look, it was a good run, but you can’t exact something like this to survive long-term when all anyone wants is to log in, trip over an epic, and get an achievement for it.
At least they are going out with a bang, spending the last few remaining dollars on new devs, new testing hardware, and a mo-cap studio (different post). See you all in the parking-lot.
(With that said, anyone want to bet that ‘June’ expansion won’t exactly make it before July?)
Chuck-of-the-day: Chuck Norris was what Willis was talkin’ bout.
Hardcore Casual 
So uh, Darkfall is not going F2P whaaa?
You managed to remember the Chuck-of-the-Day but forgot the DF disclaimer….epic fail.
Was it immersion-breaking for you? I bet it was you carebear.
You’re right, I was totally immersed in the sarcasm of the post, got to the bottom, didn’t see the disclaimer, and the whole tone of the post broke down for me.
You know, I really wanted to like this blog, but shortcomings like overlooking a standard disclaimer really make me question how committed the devs of this blog really are.
Slap in the face, I say.
Is the mo-cap studio what Tasos is referring to with the “darkfall 2010” comment?
No in a different post it was mentioned that the animations will be getting an overhaul, and a new in-house mo-cap studio is going to assist with that.
They hired this guy as the actor for all the mo-cap animations. When you are on a shoe-string budget, you can’t always afford the best…
Fat kids always = funny, no matter what they are doing. Thank god youtube documents it all for us to enjoy, over and over and over again.
Please read this, a post on Massively about the DF 14 days trial. Some troll talks about LEVELS in comment number 9…

Comments 13 and 17 are mine
Most MMOs face the problem of previous perception. DF gets it hard in certain places (Massively and MMORPG being two), but all games do. Trolls will troll.
Just curious if you have looked at Dawntide at all? My very brief experience in open beta so far it’s hard to make judgement given the ctd’s every 30 seconds :). Anyway just curious to hear your thoughts of a game like it.
I have not. A little too busy right now to really poke around with beta stuff. Something to keep an eye on though.
I tried the Dawntide beta over the weekend. Pretty much the same problems everyone else is experiencing though. CTD’s and serious connection issues. Can’t wait till they work these issues out so we can get some real testing on what sounds to be an awesome game. Keep submitting them bug reports ; )
Tl;DR
We finally decided we need a test server and to work on our patching. SO STFU about the patch already, Christ.
Where are you hearing this Darkfall is shutting down bs?
