My message.

I apologize for the previous message, it was not approved for
posting. I'll try to be as specific as possible as per the community
request to bring back the original Darkfall:

It's well known that we're a small independent game developer working
hard to support one of the highest maintenance game types there is.

Bringing back the original Darkfall is unfortunately unrealistic and
impractical. There is no doubt that it was a great game, which had its'
chance, but unfortunately stopped being viable and had to end. It's as
massive an effort and expense as launching any MMORPG and would require
months of development in order to go back in time. Even if we did, it
would require a sustained serious critical mass of players, in order for
it to be viable. We are unfortunately unable to support that kind of
an effort, and we don't believe there is a market for it.

Having said that, we remain open to serious proposals for licensing and
supporting the original Darkfall. Unfortunately, to date, there have
been none other than some quick semi-anonymous emails asking "how much
would it cost". It would take a sizeable server investment to cover a
region and a minimum low five figure amount just for bandwidth and basic
systems operations. This doesn't include developer and customer
support, and it certainly doesn't include the serious effort behind
keeping the game updated. It's a large-scale operation to run an
MMORPG, but Darkfall in particular, due to its' real-time nature, is
even more demanding on hardware, bandwidth, and development support.

Our main development objective is to work on continuously improving our
current game, Darkfall Unholy Wars, and to infuse it with some of the
magic Darkfall Online had to offer. This is the time when we need to be
able to focus on Darkfall Unholy Wars, and we need to know that we can
depend on your support in that.

Thank you.
