Well, just think. This game was announced back in 2007. They have had 2 years to create the game, and obviously that wasn't what they were doing.
Take a look at Adventure Quest Worlds. It was announced around January or February 2008, opened Alpha testing around May or so, ended Beta and went into the public version in October. It doesn't even need to take 2 years to build a MMOG. I agree with him here, this is just not right >_> And what are they gonna do, release more challenges? There's only so many things that can tide people over until they want the actual thing.
Nah, they probably spent all their time drawing up concept art, being late with their newsletters, and just plain slacking off >_> And you're right about the kids on the LMBs not going to be happy. Aren't they already somewhat complaining about it taking so long? Oh, and to put it into perspective, when it was first announce, it was supposed to be Fall '08, and everyone was annoyed when they said '09 was when it was released. Now they go and do this? =/
KZ: Same here. And how much do you think, after ALL this, it's gonna be pay to play, with like 15 dollars a month? And no beta testing because that'll be all in-company >_>
