Fans Spoke, They ListenedFans Spoke, They Listened

 

I also realize a lot of people were hoping for a release date announcement at the VGAs. We’re simply not going to be able to dispel or comment on release date rumors and

speculation every time someone expects an announcement. We’ll be announcing a release date when we determine the game is ready, and not holding it back just to line it up with any particular game-industry event.

The bottom line is that development of our games and preparations for release are long and complicated. We’re just as excited to get the final version into your hands as you are to play it, but making sure it lives up to our quality standards will always be the most important factor in that process. Why not make the beta open now? Why not let all the hardcore fans have a chance to play before release?

The service currently available is a single test site, it just couldn’t hold that many people. While we’d certainly like to make people happy, it wouldn’t be a good experience, and frankly letting people try the game is not the purpose of the beta test.Also, why not tell us what you’re working on fixing and let the people in the beta help? I know I would be deeply honored to have a chance to help.

Well most everyone already knows we’re working on runestones still, and we have some other changes that are going to shake up characters a little bit. We’ll be letting you know as soon as we’re sure they’ll work out at all, and then we’re going to be asking everyone for feedback.
