We have a firm ETA for Monday,December 17th. By beta version we mean the game will be running in debug mode so that we can quickly get valuable feedback from playtesting and we can identify and address issues as quickly as possible. Pre-orders get beta access; we�re making pre-orders available on Friday so you can download the game over the weekend. Some details regarding the pre-order: returning Darkfall players will get the game at the price of the subscription during pre-order. New players will get the game at a discount. Pre-orders get 30 days of game-time when the game launches, beta access for as long as that is live, plus you can reserve your character�s name. We will also explore offering a head start. Pre-order slots may be limited and will be throttled if needed. We can focus on playing and working with you to identify any bugs and imbalances and will continue working closely with our players to improve the game so that by the time the game launches it will be as perfect as possible. There will be developer � player interaction on issues that come up, and we want to keep developing a user-centric culture throughout the lifecycle of Darkfall Unholy Wars. We will also be working round the clock on getting the game ready for a Steam launch with all the Steam features we want integrated. The Darkfall Unholy Wars launch should happen as soon as we�re cleared to do a Steam launch, we assume that the game will be properly tested by then as well. Our estimate is January after the holidays. We will announce a specific launch date as soon as possible. We need to estimate the exact time it takes to integrate all the Steam features, and to assess what feedback we get from our playtesters.

After analyzing all the info we feel as the main doing of this delay was the Greed of a AV wanting a Steam Launch. Yes a steam launch could be a stronger launch with more people but at the cost of credibility, a lot of credibility. At the end of the day, the community green-liting Darkfall fucked ourselves over. Without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothing. It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything. Former Name: Saint Bloodcrest Current used gaming name: Atomsk

But actually it will be win later down the line when server populations stay much bigger for much longer.

Not going to play a beta if there just going to wipe our chars. No you will not be able to keep your character. There's not to many games that will allow you to keep a character from beta. After all Beta is more for feedback for the devs, and for us just to get familiar with the game.
