Oh wait. Wow, what a flashback. I almost felt like it was 2003 there for a minute.

Oh wait. Hah, see, because, well, back then the Darkfall guys announced a solid beta date and released a gameplay video. Man, was everyone excited.

Oh wait. So, the Darkfall guys did recently announce a solid beta date. There’s also a gameplay video.

Boy, are people getting excited.

So here we go. We’re going to again assume that this isn’t bullshit?

Oh wait. I suppose if we’re doing that, we’ll also need to assume that since Darkfall has only been in development since the heyday of Ultima Online because these guys are POLISHING THE EVERLIVING FUCK out of it. Not because they’re clueless, unfunded, bullshitters, or some mixture of the three.

So maybe it’ll release, and maybe it’ll succeed. Because it’ll obviously be, again if we’re giving the positive spin to things here, the MOST POLISHED GAME EVER MADE.

Beyond that, given that it’s an open PvP MMO, it certainly won’t fail because of any balancing problems that players will exploit so fully that they’ll bring the entire game to its knees in hellfire of bad PR and whirlwind of quitting from every single demographic imaginable that doesn’t consist entirely of sad, lonely teenaged males. Seeing that the game has been in beta for so long now, they’d certainly have most of the issues that would cause those kinds of problems worked out.
Oh wait. The only “beta” that’s gone on is the “super double secret friends and family beta” that started five years ago.  Well, I’m sure that having ten people online during peak hours is enough to launch a PvP MMO with only a month of beta.

Oh… wait.
