    Better than a cancelation.

    I was wondering when they would officially back up release.

    This game is still going to kick lots of butt!

    At least we know they are taking time to make sure the game runs great.  I'm hoping to get into the beta soon.

    I really hope NPCube is given enough time to polish and improve upon all aspects of the game. If they manage to release a title as polished as WoW for instance, DnL with it's vast scope will be a better choice for serious gamers everywhere.

    8 months????  wtf  Vaporware anyone?

    [quoute]they manage to release a title as polished as WoW for instance[/quote]

    Well that won't ever happen and I'll tell ya why.
    WoW already has two expansion packs coming out. Battlegrounds is coming soon and than they have Northrend in the works already.
    EQ2 I am sure will still be pumping out content upgrades in those massive patches they do and in 8 months from now both of these games will be so full of features that nothing will come close to them.

    Not to mention the fact that there will be OTHER mmorpg's already out before DnL comes out in Nov (IF it comes out in Nov)
    like middle earth online , dungeons and dragons online, Vanguard?

    forget it..

    More expansion packs doesn't mean a more polished game.

    yeah thats like going to pizza hut and getting served a pile of crap, when people complain that they are getting served piles of crap instead of pizzas they toss pepperonis on top and call it better. DnL is innovative in many aspects with this kind of game. What did WoW do to advance the genre? EQ2? Sorry but great games take longer.

    "" DnL is innovative in many aspects with this kind of game.""

    How is DnL innovative? It's just a dark age of camelot or shadowbane clone... its graphics dont even look any better than DAOC right now.. how are the graphics gonna look almost a full year from now?..

    and by theway.. Mythic also has their new mmo imperator..

    Well whatever happens, its smarter for them to do one big push back and just announce it honestly than frig around making new dates every 2 weeks that they know they arnt gonna be able to fulfil.

    At least it shows some professionalism and organisation. I think the important point others have made is that they need to spend this time making the game something other than another EQ2 or WoW.

    -single persistent world
    -living breathing ecosystem
    -player run politics/nobility system
    -exploration as an actual and useful job
    -complex crafting system that depends on weather, location, time, constellations, etc. (not just iron + coal + hammer = longsword #4582)
    -both fighting experience and social experience
    -live updating

    please correct me if i'm wrong, i am far from being an expert on all MMOs

    Make of it what you will.
