Talk:Darkfall Online

Vaporware section
User:Ratiopharma deleted the section entitled Vaporware. That section was added to address the concerns of the community from a NPOV about whether or not the game would be released to market. If you have valid reasons for not wanting that section in this article, please post them before deleting that section again. Skinrider 18:55, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree that it should be retained as there have been concerns about vaporware with Darkfall for years now. I've added speculation to the header though as without a qualifier the header looks like it's describing darkfall as vaporware. MLA 19:01, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The vaporware section seems to be original research. It really needs to be backed up with some verifiable sources Mako 01:51, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Adding speculation to the header is a good idea. I added some references to the vaporware section in which Aventurine acknowledges having passed up publicity opportunities, and added links to some cancelled MMORPGs. Skinrider 20:26, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

The comment, "Of late there has been a surge of updates, sometimes as many as three per week, featured on both the Warcry and IGN Networks that have allayed many fears and vaporware speculations," needs a date and/or a reference. Skinrider 20:05, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Preparations for beta
The History section contains the following line:

As of July 11, 2006, preparations are still being made to begin beta

This date comes directly from the quoted reference. There is no need to update this date on a daily basis, unless new information arises on preparations for beta. Skinrider 14:58, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Darkfall vs Darkfall Online
The game is called Darkfall. Darkfall Online is the URL the developers use to for the main Darkfall website. They themselves do not refer to the game as Darkfall Online. Sure, you can cite third parties talking about "Darkfall Online" and include the misnomer here as a sourced alternative label because it is a fact that a few people happen to mistakenly use it. However, to actually name the article itself Darkfall Online and to refer to the game throughout it as such is taking it too far.  ◄ ИΞШSΜΛЯΞ  ►  21:34, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Quite correct. A brief look at their site will show that the term "Darkfall Online" only exists as part of their URL, and not in any of the site's actual content. Many third parties (eg mmorpg.com) also don't tag "online" to the name (unlike games such as Warhammer Online, where the name does include the term "online") --Mako 23:51, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
