Pre-orders available LATER TODAY!
« on: March 03, 2009, 08:07:07 am »

We’ll open up sales of a limited number of copies of Darkfall tonight European time Tuesday March 3d. We will try to repeat this every weekday until the extreme demand slows down and we’re able to leave the shop open 24/7. To answer the questions of how you can sell out a digital download, we’re throttling the number of new players in the world to limit queue times and protect the user experience. Server optimizations first and adding new servers in time are the steps we are taking to improve this experience.

From our launch experience, the extreme demand caused the account management infrastructure to lag and often time out. The hammering of the system by the users made things worse. Repeated attempts by users led to charge failures because of bank security rules. Incorrect billing information also led to failed transactions.

We expect the account management system to face extreme demand today as well. In order to try to avoid the issues we describe above, users who refresh before timing out, open multiple windows or tabs, and hammer the system will be temporarily blocked. Please do not refresh unless you have timed out or you will lose your place in the queue.

We'll post when sales open. If the copies we have available for today sell out, we will repeat this process again tomorrow.

Thank you,

The Darkfall Team

Someone please sound out ONE text alert right now to let everyone know. I can't because I don't have a plan for texting, yet.

I trust a text will go out to our members as soon as this is available.  I wish I could monitor, but I am at work until 7p and gaming sites are "Forbidden" on any of our computers.

We need more of our people in-game.

Can we get a text when pre-orders go available?  I'm currently at work and can't sit here refreshing all day.

I'm going to be at work for the next few hours. Is there someone available who can send one out, because I will not be.

If anyone wants help trying, shoot me your login info.  I got Phienyx in the actual preorders, so let me know if I can help.

Just tried (3+ minutes after receiving FA Text message) and it says they are "Temporarily Sold Out".  So either they've already sold out again or there is yet another problem.

Even this however will not deter me.  Sooner or later I will get into Darkfall.
