Breaking News: Darkfall Online NEW SALES OPEN

UPDATE (5:16 PM EST): Shop is now closed again for the day:
We processed as many orders as we could take in today, we'll open up tomorrow around the same time. We'll try to do this every day until things slow down and we can leave sales up.

Those very few of you that show you have pre-ordered rather than ordered will be processed normally and enabled.

Well that was pretty pathetic. I'd estimate the ordering system was open twice for about two minutes each time. I actually managed to hit the order button once only to get the 'Service is unavailable message.' At least Tasos admits how few people are getting in. At least they'll be doing it every day from here out. Still no word on additional servers and it remains to be seen whether the staggered release will yield any positive benefits to long term server health.



UPDATE (4:06 PM EST): Account management server is still down...

From Tasos:

Until sold out which shouldn't take too long by the traffic we're seeing.

Again, please don't abuse the system with multiple tabs and windows open,
or spam the refresh. We had to add a security measure in place that will give
you a 10 minute block if you do. If used properly, the system should work better
for everyone.

Thank you,
The Darkfall Team

Update: Had to bring it down for a few minutes, be back up shortly


I guess I'll be checking every 10-15 minutes or so. These will probably sell out quick!
