The last 30 seconds shows someone looting, what appears to be, another pvp player. Reminds me of UO where if you died, you pay the price. Very nice!

Odd.... But just a few minutes ago I thought to myself that I would check out the Darkfall homepage.... and from what I'm reading I'm very much in favor of seeing this game become real...

But it has been in development for a very very long time and I'm not getting my hopes up.

I saw a game that crashed in 30 minutes at an event. Didn't see them push the engine hard once and it was lagged and freezing at points. I expected more, that game won't even be ready for beta if that's all they got for a live play. Hopefully they're holding back...

The connection crashed, not the game. The debugger was running which may have caused the load pause at the point which I'm sure you are refering to.

Anyways, beta is slated to come out in the next comming weeks. They have been doing stress tests internally for a while now. Release is dated before the end of 2008.

You should hit up the forums for more information. Like I said, this game IS happening.

I would like to see a lot of WTFmen get into this.

Well I just signed up for beta.... WTF right? I'll give it a go....

Currently playing Warhammer but the last week i've put in 88 hours at work so I havent been online...

88 hours at work man? when do you have time to breathe?

I try to remain optimistic and keep up with the updates, The interest seems to be low but the thread has the highest views of them all so I dunno.
If this game promises and delivers I want everyone to support it to show that a hardcore game still has a place today.

Well I'm going to play for sure if its ever released. I'm sure I'll be looking for that same feelings I had when I played UO but I'm sure it wont happen ever again. Either way, dont knock it till you try it right?

MMOs really do suck these days. I will be surprised if DarkFall can succeed. Have you seen how many MMO's there are out there? 100's and growing. Most of them are free with premium options because just like in real life there is 1% of MMO own like 90% of the revenues (exaggerated slightly) but I just don't see how DarkFall can do any better than a game such as ShadownBane, which I predict will be how well DarkFall will do in todays MMO market.

The video is cool but so is videos for many other games. If the internet was a Huge server and MMO's were players on it. I would call for a server wipe.

Anyways, I'm ready to jump back in MMO's if DarkFall is different that the rest of what's out there now but until then hook up with some buddies and try Rock Band.

Like stated before, the crash was a internet connection loss, not a game crash. and the only skipping that occured was crossing server lines I believe.
