It appears Darkfall isn't 'vaporware' after all. *g* Congratulations to Aventurine!
I think Darkfall is in league with other things some people think were imaginary...so what I am saying is expect your copy of DF to be delivered ahead of schedule by Santa Claus on Christmas Morning. "It's a miracle!!!" you will exclaim as you load up and play the most awesomest mind blowing kick assiest game ever. It's graphics are so revolutionary they will make your eyes bleed. And the game play full on non-instanced ass kickery and open Pvpliciousness sooooo damn bad ass it will make you crap iron chunks for weeks!!! AAAAAH Hell ya!!!!!!!!!!!
Alternate Endings:
1. It will be delayed and delayed and we will still be talking about this crap next year. 2. It will release in January in Europe and be horribly disappointing and never see the light of day in the US.
PS: Bigfoot is delivering my copy tomorrow while riding on the back of a giant jackelope.
DM: From the deepest crypts crawls the undead thread, it's death rattle shakes you to your core. What foul necromantic forces brought forth this foul beast. Cleric: I attempt to turn undead. DM: You can't this is a WoW forum D&D magic does not work here. Cleric: Well guys we are @#$%*%! Wizard: Agreed, I believe this Necrothread was created by a dread ForumLych, impossible to stop, without a sense of humor. Fighter: Very well I throw a badge or some other posting reward down at the necrothread and prepare a tactical retreat. DM: The necrothread pauses at your offer, snaps up the reward and slinks off deeper into the internet. Rogue: Phwew! That was close... I wonder if there are even more ancient Necrothreads ahead of us? Fighter: We will only know when we continue on our journey through the crypts of Warcry.
Haha! The Euros get to suffer first! This way we'll know for sure what the game is like beforehand, without being temped to buy it the first day of release. And where the hell is our open beta?!
Frakking hippies.

Aw c'mon now, Nightfreak....they've lost the 'vaporware' assertion and most other commonly held myths about DF. You have to give them something to cling onto. :D
I'm having way too much fun with several other games to worry about DF either way until the end of January. :)
