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.
They are vocal, I'll give you that. Professional? Not at all.
I've never seen developers arguing openly (and aggressively) with forum members in my life. The community is worse than Darkfall's because the developers engage in the same actions their community does and actually reinforces that type of behavior. At least Tasos kept his mouth shut, we have developers who openly say their fanboys are great and say all the things they want to say.
I want it delayed. Just the way they are doing this is unprofessional.
I'm failing to see how so, the only people this would affect are those who pre-ordered, however considering those people can log on when ever they want, how does it matter whether or not MO has gone gold?
Everyone else out there would most likely rather see them hold off on release than meet an arbitrary deadline (set by them) with a horrible product, if they can push back a release that's for the better.
Could they have been open about it? Sure, does it make a difference in the end they were not? Not really considering everyone who pre-ordered can continue playing void of monthly fees even longer.

maybe their "partnering with nvidia" (or whatever was posted on their site) has brought in an influx of much needed money to give them time to make the game what it should be.

2 days until the end of the month and nothing official yet. That is unprofessional. I do not care if the fans say, looking at it from the outside and seeing what is actually happening, that is unprofessional, you can not spin this issue.

a month cant do much for them, they need alot more time to make it a proper game, but when fundings are used they will release it, they are very open about these things. but must admit at this point Ive got a hard time to see why you d want to go for MO instead of a DF, that is far ahead.....its just bad luck they didnt get the idea to make MO afew years earlier, and they would have been the flamed release of DF....but still be going.
not saying MO wont survive, time will tell, but will be suprised if there is space for 2 games cover the same niche audience

First and foremost I am not an MO fan have never touched the game and I don't pre-order anything. I still (looking from the outside) fail to see a problem to the degree you're making out. As I said they could have said something official, who says they won't? I'd much prefer a studio to be focusing on the game itself rather than posting on forums. When they have a date they will release the info on it. That's the way it works, besides release dates are meaningless in the MMO world.
As for unprofessional, what exactly was the wrong doing here, as in who is shafted? I fail to see a victim, aside from the game itself if it did release now. Those who pre-ordered can still play, so it's not them, those who are waiting? Yet wouldn't they be better served with a better product than SV has right now? Where is the victim, aside from yourself?
Looks to me like you have an axe to grind in regard to MO, I don't know why nor do I care why. You still need to cut down on the hyperbole.

I dont give a care if they annunce it has long as they dont release it yet. but its on there site so works for me. BTw there is no official release date. all i see is a time line.
Mmo's after mmo's all do the same thing. Most all you people that are complaining are mmorpg elite members so you know the drill.
Just because your here on this site, getting each other pumped up is not gonna change anything. If you DID NOT have mmorpg.com to jerk each other around and speculate releases you would be off doing real life things, and relaxing. If stuff like this really screws you up this bad, then maybe it's time to remove mmorpg.com from your favorites, and when you see the game in the Mall just buy it like a normal person.
MO will release, when ever it releases ( your doing this to yourselves ). Mannnn, the close mindedness of computer geeks !

This is my first experience buying a bad product. Never again will I pre-order an MMO. Hopefully it improves but I have a feeling that won't be for a long time.

Seems you did not get the problem... Last month, December 16th, they said they would release next month (which is January) and now its only 1 business day left in the month in Sweden and they have not said anything about pushing back the release date.

An open beta that runs for a month? LOL
Do you know how costly it is to have an open beta? And they are ALREADY out of cash, by their own admission.
on there site it did and its not gold release feb 1st maybe open beta but they may run that for a month
Oh please.... they are releasing because by their own admission they are out of money. You really think they are going to have a MONTH long open beta? There is no chance of that. It will likely run through next week.. but I think even that might be pushing it.

Henrik said that the press release had lies in it and they only did it for the stock market (to try and make more money) I have never seen a company do this before, lie just to try and make more money, while selling out their customers.
except there not selling us out... hey im just tkaing a wild guess like you guys are who knows anymore
I swear too many of you guys think more with your fingers than your brains. You crybabies are saying they are handling this unprofessionally. What is a reasonable way to profesionally handle a delay in launching? They updated their website. How is that unprofressional? You want a phone call? Get real, they aren't calling you.
So, please tell me how they should handle this? I eagerly await your ridiculous answers.
Umm.. if you read the other thread you will see that they actually just announced release (kinda.. who knows.. everyone is confused) in 2 days... so I guess all the confusion would be another example of the unproffessional way they go about things...
For the record though.. they ninja-updated line 69 or so of the text in their order page. That was the only update regarding the "delay". I don't need a phonecall but should I really be expected to go check each line of their order page everyday for news? maybe just a newsupdate on the main website page? maybe just an announcement in the announcement section on their forums? I dunno.. I don;t think I need them to call my house, but just update their website in a way we could see it?

Releasing now would be a suicide, it was a good decision.
They are starting their release in 2 days.... waiting for further clarification...

Perhaps "starting their release process" is more appropriate...
Open beta starts in a few days... no clue on release time.
Maybe but the very first sentence of their Press release says:
"The release of Mortal Online starts on Monday the 1st of February 2010...."
I agree they should clarify their Press Release as it's quite confusing.. hopefully they will do so soon...
