A small update posted on the 22nd from Tasos on the official forums:
Hello,
I thought to quickly check in before too much more time passes. As we step up publishing activities, the updates should increase in frequency and quality, which should make up for the ones we’ve been missing the last months. We take for granted sometimes that the...

Theres been alot of talk in the last few days about whether Darkfall would be launched simultaneously in both Europe and North America. Earlier today Tasos made a post on the official forums to clarify what going on with publishing and launch in different regions. Here's what he posted:

Earlier today Darkfall Online developper Tasos Flambouras posted a new community QA on the official forums. It covers quite a few interesting topics, so enough with the jibber jabber and lets get straight to the QA:

The following as been posted by Darkfall developper Tasos Flambouras on the game's official forums:

Just posted on the official site. Something alot of people will love to see. Maybe it's no beta date, but the next most awaited thing after a beta date. The game looks pretty decent judging from the screenshots here (same locations are shown in the video). Enjoy!

Another developer journal that is 1 week early. Tasos answers 29 Fan questions, continuing the Q&A style of these journals, answering various questions from the official forums.
However, he said that the ETA for the next developer journal is unknown, due to heavy workload. Maybe another information blackout is following ? We can only hope...

Associate Producer Tasos Flambouras does a bit different approach to the dev journals, in the style of a Q&A. He picked various questions from the community as he promised last time. You may also notice that the journal came one week earlier, compensating for the delay last time.
The aspects covered in this journal were quite interesting. Mainly,...

This journal was scheduled for last Friday, but it was delayed. Tasos Flambouras informs us how he almost delayed it this time too, so he only posted a short status update this time and promises a community driven Q&A (like the last few journals) next time. Basically answering questions that were brought up on the official forums General Darkfall...

Tasos writes the final Darkfall developer journal this year.

The new screenshots also include first time female pictures: the alfar female and the ork female. There's also a...

A delay from both Warcry and me. It seems Warcry was having problems with uploading the latest developer journal, so they only managed to do it this Monday.
Nothing new this time, Tasos tells us about Aventurine being slow in testing the game, while the other development areas are progressing ahead of schedule. He elaborates on universal banking...

Another Surly article on Warcry, this time he discusses all of the important happenings in Darkfall's long development. You can also find out stuff like where did Razorwax, and later Aventurine, get the funding for their game from.
Most of the info regarding funding and copyrights in the article was dug up by various Darkfall fans over the years....

There hasn't been one. According to lepidus over at Warcry, Tasos was busy with travelling and couldn't write a proper developer journal. Instead, he sent Warcry 4 exclusive screenshots.

To get to the root of what makes partial or full loot in PVP exciting and all around a bonus to the PVP experience is to first look at gambling. What makes gambling addicting?

This dev journal on Warcry is pretty short, and Tasos doesn't mention any beta date. He did say they are aiming for a beta sometime this summer, but as most people who follow(ed) Darkfall know, we won't know until we actually get our Darkfall clients and start PK-ing each...

Quite suprisingly, there's been alot of activity at the official site - unlike the last few years. Tasos' latest post (check it out here) confirms this.

Very interesting article about the mainstream MMOs and why they are boring to play, yet attract so many players. Judging by this article, Darkfall might revolutionize the genre (if it doesn't end up buggy as hell).

Here it is, I've really enjoyed the answers. I've made up some of my own questions and also gathered some old questions (regarding city sieging) from various darkfall forums. First things first, here's a quote from Tasos Flambouras regarding this Q&A:
