The recently released MMO, Darkfall, is proving to be so popular that the developers are limiting the number of sales each day.
When the game launched on 26 February, the huge demand on servers resulted in a delay of 12 hours from the official launch time. Since then, Darkfall has experienced numerous setbacks; the game had to be taken down shortly after release to fix a critical bug, but the forums and online store were also badly affected by the overwhelming traffic, resulting in very limited availability of both. In response, Darkfall's developer, Aventurine, has limited the number of online game sales it makes per day and will continue to do so until demand for the game subsides.
Aventurine Studios published their tentative patch notes for their upcoming update for Darkfall: Unholy Wars. The new patch makes some major changes to combat, the tweaks to the combat system were largely based on player feedback.
Aventurine S.A., the makers of Darkfall have announced a free to play weekend. Between October 3rd and 6th new and old players alike will be able to jump in to Darkfall for free. If you have never had the opportunity to experience this high quality Hardcore PVP MMORPG, now is your chance.
Aventurine have just announced that both current and past Darkfall Online players will be able to sample the massive world of the sandbox MMO for one last time before the servers close.
Wow, is that a good sign or a bad one!?
I hope it doesn't discourage people from playing. If anything, it will make more people take notice of the game. It doesn't look that bad, maybe I'll join the queue...
I can't beleive there's such huge demand for what sounds like a messy, chaotic MMO.

WoW is child's play compared to Darkfall
I'd not be happy about this if I ordered this game, if I want a game I don't want to be in some queuing system where by I have to be there at the time they specify to get a copy. If I want a game at 4:21PM I'll buy it a 4:21 PM.
