The English forums on the official site seem pretty dead. Is there no hype for this game or just no hype in English?

There are a lot of people wayting on this game, almost all old time MMO players recognise the potentiall of this game.
But the big bad Internet (US based) gaming sites just fail to give this game any attention.
The development team has stated that they will start marketing the game only when an excact release date is announced.
And yes the officiall forums feel cold, tough there are a lot of nice people there.
Some people like me are trying to push the game and hype it some.

Unlike most mmo companies they are not using "revolutionary", "next generation" and so on and so on. They are busy devoloping the game and makeing it as good as possible(before the money run out).
I think they are very smart letting the marketing wait until they have a release date ready. That way you wont be all fired up to the great release just to find out it have been delayed(again). Also with not giving players high expectations they are most likely to become the game everyone is whispering about in other games forums.
Yeah I think alot of it is this game was supposed to come out in early 2006, was delayed to the end of 2006, and now has been delayed all through the year 2007, and into 2008.
That's alot of waiting. Whatever questions people had about combat or whatever else, have pretty much been answered by now so there's just not much to talk about anymore. The only thing left is to see this game in person.
Most people are waiting for the next beta build.
Look on the bright side of things.
They could only delay everytime because they found new fundings. This means that the investors still beleive in the game. Last delay from Q4 2007 to Q1 2008 is funded by there recently announced japanish publisher that brings $1.000.000 to development.
The only reason for a further delay could be when they find a wealthy US publisher.
All this time the game only keeps getting better and better.
