Game Delayed

I guess this is what passes as an official announcement... they ninja-edited their order page to show a Jan-Mar release date:

    True story, everyone knew they were gonna delay. No release date = no release date.

    Good on them.

    Worst thing they could do right now is release an incomplete product. They're already under the microscope for not being ready, so hopefully this will keep things down a bit.

    Not really official, until they announce release dates. Even if it is March... the logical thing is to make the release date announcement as March is about a month away.

    Agree it not official until they actually give us an official update.  Waiting 2 days before they said they were going to launch it to push it back for another month.  Love how professional these guys are!

    I don't see the problem.  They never gave an official date, they said they were pushing it back a month, and now they're pushing it back again it would seem.  If you expect a game to release, when there's no release date set then I don't know what to tell you.  Blizzard did the same thing with the TBC expansion, if they can't keep their dates how can you expect StarVault to?



    On a side note:  This is great if true.  Another month or two can go a long way toward adding stability to the launch.  As it is now, the game is lacking content pretty badly.  Two months is enough time for them to add the rest of the mobs and maybe even the magic system.

    Almost a year ago to the day the same thing was being done by another "top notch" company with almost the same initials and a group of designers with just as much knowledge and skill. Only difference was a big mouth lying PR man and they were on the Southern end of Europe.

    Glad to see that history is repeating itself faster and faster.

    Why do people want a game to release in a unfinished state?

    I know you guys pre-ordered the game but at least they let you play during the beta process.

    If you have actually played it, you would know.  They were going to release at the end of January (from December's newsletter) and the game is incomplete, its pretty simple.

    Yeah, we all know. But Rockgod was asking why people would want it to release now (even in an unfinished state). The answer is going to hurt you and all the trolls out there. It's because the game, even in this state, is fun to those people, and all they want to do is roll a permanent character... which would mean releasing the game.

    Obviously, it's good SV decided not to listen to those people.

    Wouldn't you want the game to be pushed back then?

    When I tested WAR i was kicking and screaming for that game to be held for six more months.

    If I were a MO fan I would be going crazy to get it held until 2011 not bitch because they delayed the game.

    Stop being all dramatic and give them a chance to say something.  These devs are extremely vocal, and as professional as they can be given the circumstances.  They lifted the NDA forever ago, they aren't trying to hide anything, and will even chat with you personally if you aren't a moron on IRC.  So don't go getting all drama queen just because they didn't announce anything yet.

     

    This is awesome news for the game.  I hope they have the ability to back it up a bit further even, but only they know their deadlines.

    I doubt this passes as their official announcement, so hang on. I'd wait until January is over and then they'll probably delay it officially. If all they said was (Jan-Mar), then that could mean February 1st.

     great news if its true. its like they said, the more people will pre-order the longer they could delay it.

     

  • JeezesuzJeezesuz Member Posts: 70

    It is good news that they delayed.  Hopefully they use this time to refine, not create.
