Alganon launch now 1st Dec
Looks like they have moved the launch date from the 31st Oct to the 1st Dec, kinda left that to the last minute!
After taking time to process player feedback, work with our strategic partners, and present options to our investment team, we have decided to move the release date for Alganon from October 31st to December 1st.
This decision will allow us to refine the game, test on a larger scale, obtain additional visibility, and run some great contests (starting with the Immortal contest which should begin this upcoming week). We appreciate the patience and support of everyone who has been testing and pre-ordered Alganon.
Those who have pre-ordered Alganon before the 31st will receive a month of free play as compensation and also receive the in-game items awarded at launch sometime during the beta process. We wish to extend our appreciation to our supporters and look forward to bringing Alganon to the masses in November!

I was happy to see that they pushed it back a bit.
I'm not an IT Specialist, Game Developer, or Clairvoyant in real life, but like others on here, I play one on the internet.
Good move, but from what I've been reading, might not be enough.
Any idea whether the NDA lifts as scheduled or does that date move out as well?

A wise move, and shows that they're concerned with putting out a good product.
I wish them well, and again I can go back to looking forward to it's release, instead of that sense of dread that this game I was looking forward to would be dead on arrival.
They lifted the NDA on Monday 26th: http://www.alganon.com/news-detail/id/297
Can't really seem them putting it back under a NDA but who knows.
Edit: Tork on of the staff members has said on the Beta forums that it will not go back under the effect of a NDA. Cant link as it is the private beta forums.
It very much needed a push back. There is still a lot of fixing to do.
´This is a really good decision, and not one many companies would have made this close to launch.
