There's been quite a bit of drama on the Darkfall forums. Yesterday, Tasos Flambouras made an angry post in response to Eurogamer's review of the game written by Ed Zitron, who gave it a 2 out of 10. Flambouras alleges Zitron "had not played the game at all" because the team checked the logs for Eurogamer's accounts and "found that one of them had around 3 minutes playtime, and the other had less than 2 hours spread out in 13 sessions." Flambouras also says the review contains factual errors and attacks the game.

Eurogamer Editor Tom Bramwell responded today and backs Zitron, who claims to have played the game for at least nine hours. "As I told Flambouras, Ed's references and background are immaculate, as many PC Zone readers will attest. I also do not believe server logs are incontrovertible proof of the scenario Aventurine describes," Bramwell said. The editor says he will not take down the review, but has contacted Kieron Gillen to write a second review.

Flambouras responded to Bramwell today, saying, "We stand by our logs and we’re willing to prove our claims. Eurogamer can send one of their technicians here, we will be happy to cover this expense." Flambouras also said nine hours of gameplay is not enough time to review an MMO the size of Darkfall.
