Darkfall Update

Tasos has released some update information about Darkfall today. Basically, they're hard at work and getting patches out for the current beta, which is great to hear! They've also been able to resolve issues with the DDOS attacks, meaning that now the forums are back up and working again. It's really too bad people felt the need to go so far as attack a development group that is working so hard on their title, but knowing that they've been releasing patches for the beta without issue at least allows us to relax and know that things are going as they should.

What's more, invites will continue going out every day until they have hit their limit.

The final thing that Tasos touched on was the need to continue with the NDA. I'm glad they have stood their ground and will continue with it, as they have every right to keep their product under wraps until they are completely ready to reveal it. As Tasos said:
"The NDA is still in effect, because this remains a testing period. Even though this is the release candidate client, previews based on this experience may not be indicative of the release quality of the game, especially not while you're consciously trying to break the game during stress testing. The game is still in debug mode so that we can deal with any issues that arise. Other than that, we are trying to simulate the launch, in order to better prepare for it. The testers in-game so far have been sending us very positive reports on their gameplay experience, even so, the NDA will be in effect while there's still testing going on. As soon as we're out of debug, the stress test is over, we'll lift the NDA."

Good luck guys, and here's to hoping the beta goes well and your launch is a successful one! For the full update details, look here.
