I don't think it's the viewpoint that if it's delayed that it bothers me. In fact, it doesn't bother me at all. But it will depend a lot on the competition. In example if WAR came out and I gave it a try and found that I really enjoyed the game then they have me. I'm not going to run and try another if I am already having fun. I'm not loyal to a game or to a developer. I am loyal to myself and my enjoyment. If its a good game, then its a good game.
With that said I think it would have to be a big delay. I just don't see a lot of these games coming out any time soon. Of those to be launched this year I would venture a guess that AoC is further along but we'll see. I just hope something from someone comes out soon to get me off of WoW. So burnt out on that game but what else is there? Oh well.
Hey one thing you can be 100% certain of, if it didn't NEED to be pushed back it wouldn't be pushed back. So would you really want them to release the game half baked, missing lots of content and with systems that are out of balance or not functional?!!
I'm sure every time they have to push it back they have to go on their sword with the bean counters and make long arguements justifying pushing it back. Lets just be glad that the devs are carrying enough weight to push the bean counters to give them more time and resources.
Believe me if they release the game before it is ready you will loose interest far faster then if they delay the game
if the game gets pushed back to the end of 2008 im pretty sure that im occupied with Aion or Warhammer which will be next on my mmo list that im looking forward to
