I remember once we were late on designing a chip, 9 months late! We got in trouble! I asked if we got in more trouble because we were late, or because we didn't alert senior management that we were 9 months late until the day we were due. Well, it was the latter. We would have been better off just saying up front that we're not gonna make it, and need more time, a LOT more time. Instead, we kept it a secret until the actual delivery day, and THEN we said oops, we're gonna be 9 months late.
I have a bad feeling that this is happening here too. The delivery day has come and gone, twice. The game is still not playable, and the final due date is less than 48 hours away. I think we'd be better off if Jordi just came out and said this is how it is, instead of saying nothing.
Notorius has had my money for a month now, and I still don't have a playable game. I still want to play, and don't believe in refunds if you don't like the game. But the lack of communication is beginning to wear. I just wish he would pick one of the answers below:
1) the game is ready, and I'm turning on the features today or tomorrow, launch as planned on the 15th
2) the game is not ready, and realistically, it will take several more months to get there
3) I don't know whether the game will work or not, we are just winging it.
Let it go. This ship has sailed; this horse is dead, I'm sure there are more. This has been debated, complained about, defended, analyzed, and otherwise discussed. They already explained that there would be little to no headstart depending on the situation. If u bought the game for the headstart, then u are rather silly to begin with. BTW, this does suck. But to tell u the hold this bloody game has on me, I have rift, and I still log into this forum and this game without gathering, building, etc.
Well when it says "Be among the first to explore and settle the World of Xsyon!" there's nothing there about gathering/hunting/pvp/crafting. I guess you're right! YAY DEVS THANK YOU!
Also after the first wipe we were promised 2 additional weeks of free play. Too bad the last 2 weeks have either been totally pointless or unplayable.
yeah.. I don't recall any "promises" except for "play early" and "2 free months".
I'm confused who you're supposed to be getting a head start on? Anyone who is planning to play the game in the near future will have bought it already, before the two free months offer runs out.
