Aventurine is financially committed to the launch of Darkfall whether they like it or not.
public beta by October.

We shall see. After over a half a decade its hard to belive it might not be vaporwear after all.

7 years is more than half a decade

Beta by December..... 2006! Oh wait. I meant April 07.

Honestly, if they don't provide an open beta by the end of 07 I'm probably going to say F it and never read any Darkfall news ever again.

You may not see Conan if that happens. But I will. Planning on trying both of em out.

Yah Df will only be hitting beta when AoC hits release. IF it hits beta. I also plan on Aoc, normaly betas have alot of downtime.

My question would be, what would KGB's plans be when and if DF does hit beta and AoC releases.

Thats a good question not easily answered. It really depends.

Worst case scenario is guild guilds split between the two, which given their crappy timing is a real possibility.

AoC will probably play/look smoother, and be a bit more polished overall given Funcom is experienced at MMOs and well funded this time around, but DFO is the game many of us are looking for regarding a next-gen UO/Shadowbane PvP warfare game.

Regardless of DFO, is AoC is polished, and out, a decent amount of ppl will have a hard time prying themselves away, yet quite a few of us will be playing DFO regardless, untill/unless it proves to be totally unplayable.

Only time will tell.

If FUNCOM caves in to the noob WOWbears, and compromises their vision for AOC, then DFO will definitely hold the attention of the more skill-based, high-twitch PVP fans for a longer period of time. If there is more content in DFO than simply grinding mobs to build your keep all day, then it will far outshine Shadowbane. I know...obvious shit, but something to think about nevertheless...

you cant carebear AoC and DFO will never release

I'm hoping that Funcom won't be that stupid. It would be great if you had the EQ people in one basket, the WOW people in another basket, and the PVP people between the AOC and DFO baskets. Yah, diversity in a community is great, but in gaming communities it seems to create disasters and umpteen million ridiculous buffs and bullshit nerfs.

Well August is almost over.. still waiting for that beta
