Felt I should point out some of the lies.

QUOTE
On the American server: The American server will launch on July 7th. Characters from the European server can be cloned and moved without their possessions 3 months after the American launch. Certain restrictions and charges will apply, to be announced at a later date. In the meanwhile if you want to play on the American server at launch you need to buy the American Darkfall client. More information on the American server will be available in a few days.

Darkfall will launch a massive free expansion update the first week of July, something that the Darkfall team has been working on for a while now. This expansion includes major new features and major content, PvE, and PvP updates.

In the last few patches we had implemented several major optimizations making it possible to support even larger battles and sieges and more concurrent users than ever before. As a result, massive battles now run smoother than ever. We’ve seen some of the largest and the highest frequency of massive battles this past month, which has helped us find even more ways to optimize the Darkfall experience.

As a result of these optimizations we’ve also been able to keep sales open most of the time. We’re still being careful because Darkfall resubscription rates remain very high even though this is a time for exams and/or vacations. It’s still difficult to buy Darkfall but we hope that after the US servers have launched it will be easier for new players to learn about and to buy Darkfall.

To that effect, a new site is coming, along with new forums for Darkfall players only. These forums will be readable by the public and only players with active accounts will be able to post in them. The current public forums will remain active for anyone to post in, but moderation will be stronger. This because we’re getting people from other communities with the sole intention of disrupting our forums. The Darkfall community has always been a source of good feedback, constructive criticism, and inspiration for the Darkfall developers and we'll keep it that way by doing away with the non-constructive elements.

Our next major patch will be included in the Darkfall expansion the first week of July.

Thank you for reading
The Darkfall Team

Clarification: American players wanting to clone and transfer their characters do not have to buy another client. Everyone else needs to buy the American Darkfall client to play on the American server. The European rights and the American rights to Darkfall do not belong to the same company, therefore you cannot freely transfer between the two territories, as is the case with most MMORPGs. Our offer of character cloning / transfer to American players is because we had said that we would try to accommodate them should they want to start playing on the European server.

What are you talking about? You don't have to buy the game again to play on the NA server. From the very same news thread:

Its either buy the same client again or pay a transfer fee after waiting three months, which includes no items/bank for your character.
Either way its dicking over the playerbase that supported it while under the guise that they would be able to start a new character on the U.S. Server without having to repurchase the game or pay fees.

No, you can play on the american servers with newly created characters without paying for another client while you wait. Or you can do the same without transfering.

Go fuck yourself Slade. I misread, big deal. Why do you keep coming back here? All you ever do is talk down to everyone and act like a huge dick. No one wants your filth.


Can I ban him? Please oh please? God I've waited years to be able to ask that...


On topic. There are two publishers. They can't help it. This kind of thing happens. Everyone should be grateful they that even have the option to transfer to the NA server.

I don't think it really matters since the game seems to still be pretty much the same endless fail.

Don't ban him. Random shit talking entertains me when I am at work lol.

Well if you weren't a fucking idiot that is high most of the time I wouldn't talk down to you.
As for misreading, you posted the exact opposite of what I claimed and quoted, which is an insult to my intelligence as if I have no reading comprehension as its a sign that you think I'm stupid enough to post something thats the direct opposite of my argument/post/claim/whatever.

I mean seriously, you pop in the thread, post some stupid and incorrect shit as if you didn't read a damn thing, why shouldn't I insult you?

Go ahead and ban, we all know this site died along time ago so its no big loss on my part, I just posted because I figured you guys would get a slight kick out of the collosal screw up....Sorry, wasn't expecting the resident pothead to wander in, not read anything, and then insult me.
But hey, if thats what you need to do to feel better about your shitty life feel free. Nothing like being the king of an empty playground.

But stepping away from your attempt at growing your meaningless epeen.
They can help it by not fucking up the contract, or atleast tell us waaaaay in advance....like at launch, so tons of people didn't purchase the EU version under the idea that they wouldn't be nickled and dimed with the transfer.
They could easily front the bill for the transfers and/or the client, its not like they don't owe anything to the players that supported them.

Someone else can unban him if you want, I don't care, but I've been hearing the same insults over and over from this guy for years and I'm just flat out fucking sick of it. Dude hasn't ever done a damn thing for this place. Slade is a troll. Pure and simple.

I'm pretty sure I'm high on weed more than GC.

If anyone expected to transfer from EU to NA at launch, they're retarded. If you didn't see the possibility of them charging for the xfer, yeah. As for two different clients, welcome to what every other MMO does. We just get to play the Europeans this time, they're usually the ones getting screwed over. I don't think there has even ever been a transfer your NA toon to your EU server in any other MMO, so really it isn't that big of a deal.

But, yeah. Slade is always a dick. Reminds me a lot of Darklord with the whole superiority complex thing. Oh, you disagree? Let me write this 10 page essay defending my delusion induced epeen. You can almost tell how high school was for them because they're still angry about it.

As for the ban... meh. What did he ever add to discussion besides insults, attacks, and implied exclamation points?

I used to think he'd calm down and come around someday but he'd come back after a year and just blow up on whoever responded to him.
I'd still like to think Darklord can come around.

Meh I say!

Slade has been pissing me off for five years. That's a long time to put up with someone's shit. He used to piss me off back when he was a mod and all I did was lurk. I think Slade is not only the only person to ever be banned from here, but the only person to ever lose their mod status. But hey, he gave me permission to ban him, right? I didn't bother to ban his IP, so lets see if he rejoins under a different name. I'll laugh my ass off.

Darklord could be a dick, but he did have a lot to add to discussions sometimes. I kinda miss the guy now that you bring him up.

Woo! Riot on the short bus!

Is Slade Desertsoul's twin or something? I swear I can't tell them apart unless I look at the screen name or avatar (or lack thereof).

Way to care too much, by the way.
