Just as i thought, AV is keeping Darkfall 2.0's general progression on the Downlow:

Above shows that the game is a little more developed then we think.

Also Reports of people doing un-ordinary things ingame, such as selling a lot of items with out proper motive,
hence coming to the fact that,
Darkfall 2.0 Beta might be going on, just without acutally telling people.
I believe Tasos is trying to keep DF 2.0 from discouraging current players to keep playing.

Anything materialized yet as far as DF 2.0 ?

Taso AKA: Taco Salad Tosser, has had a super secret server for a while to use for testing DFO 2.0, which was once DFO: Eclipse (DFO v1.5) and if you sucked him off hard enough he might just let you in to test on the weekend nights it was up from time to time.

The should also replace "Dark" in the game's name with "Grind Treadmill", side bonus - it would abbreviate more accurately. GTFO.

ROFL sinij!!
