we're back, baby

It feels pretty awesome too. If they ever fix the issues with the "sound engine" we'll start seeing very large battles that aren't slideshows either and that'll be fun.

There is no hacking in darkfall.

The scent of nerd rage over this one is sweet and overwhelming. We're on the fuckin' boat, man. On the motherfuckin' boat! Look at us, making video of us the badass motherfuckers standing on the deck of our fuckin' boat ... wtf, where the fuck is our motherfuckin' boat now?

awesome, for real

bonus points for dangling it in front of them like that.

In other news, apparently everyone who's ever wanted to play Darkfall got their copy already. The shop now stays open, here's Lum's chance DRILLING AND MANLINESS

Yes, aka The Benny Hill Show theme.

Goes well with speed hacking imo.

Very interesting. Unfortunately it's in Darkfall.

You can despawn your ~~titan~~ boat that took months of grinding to make, and then log off with it in your pocket? What is that, Carebears Online? Ohhhhh, I see.

I find it funny that you can build a boat large enough to house their entire subscriber base. Gives new meaning to "sailing a ship to nowhere".

Darkfall plans to come to North America this summer! Woohoo

Is there a new source for that or is it based on the release schedule being thrown around late last year?

Darkfall Comes to Light in North America on GNi’s Game Optimized Hosting Platform

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aventurine SA, a computer games developer located in Athens, Greece has expanded its relationship with GNi to host their groundbreaking game, Darkfall Online, in North America with a launch scheduled for release later this summer.

We are confident that GNi will continue to deliver the world-class service and unparalleled network performance in North America that we have experienced in Europe,” said Zad Mehdawi, President of Aventurine SA.

“Aventurine has seen great growth in Europe and we are excited to have Darkfall Online running on GNi’s platform in both Europe and North America.

Since Draegan is a jerk

A day late and a dollar short, Aventurine. The store seems to have been permanently opened as of the 20th. Your internet revolution came and went.

I had a phone call while posting that so I forgot to copy paste the PR. Ohhhhh, I see.

Can we see the follow-up video of the teeth-gnashing and wailing that will result when a hack steals that monstrosity? Also, please everyone, stop recording your Ventrillo chats.

If this seriously launches in July I should retire from gambling forever.

It all ready "launched". swamp poop

European servers don't count.

Plus, you KNOW everyone who wants to play and happens to live in North America is just waiting for the NA release to sign up.

Oh we're still doing this one?

Update from the front lines

I hope this letter finds you well. The entire "server" has declared war on my guild and alliance. Times are tough and war is hell.

Sincerely,

Ashrik

Steal their boats. That'll teach 'em.

While boats and warhulks are definitely kool and the gang, it seems like they're generally seen as too expensive to be a battlefield asset. Usually only used after the opposing side has been beaten back for ultimate kewl points. "My boat just flew away" is a serious concern, sir!

It's war! You don't have to wait for an actual battle to mess with them.
