Is this game dead or is it going to launch without any info??  I remember that people are expecting the launch on 1/22 but here we are at 1/5 and there hasn't been any info about the NDA going down, or open beta?

Is there any official info on this game coming out? 

Maybe add it to this thread so we have an easy place to check the latest status.  Something has gotta happen soon.

From the looks of it, don't expect the CLOSED Beta NDA to be lifted before Release... if at all.  

 

If we get lucky... we might still get some form of an OPEN Beta... but even that is looking dicey at the moment.

Just go to the official site, that will tell you about the 1/22 launch

Ah come on now... that's not fair. 

 

Tasos has said they are in the middle of making a new site and they hope to have it done by the launch date or shortly after.  So, there is no point in updating the current site. 

I mean what would be the point in having your Release Date on the Official web site before the actual launch anyway....  OH Wait...

Give Tasos a break..   you know those guys are operating on a very tight budget.. obviously they don't want to waste the bandwidth it would take to update their website.    You know, updating a website requires a lot more bandwidth then say.. running a MMORPG.

The only question now is if the devs finally admit DF was a sham on 1/22, or if they leave enough wiggle-room for the fanboys to still defend them.   I mean, realistically, Tasos could have strung along the fanboys for another 5 years.. but as soon as he stated that 1/22 date, he painted himself in a corner.  Let's see if he can keep it going past the 22nd.

Tasos could say "oops, we meant 01/22/11" and I guarantee you many will still defend this game. Sadly, I believe some of the fans of this game has gone beyond the limitations of "fanboi." I never seen a game that had such a devoted following even after they get screwed year after year. It's more like a cult really and the only reason why they aren't dead yet is because Tasos hasn't fed ex any kool aid yet.

Well, to be perfectly honest, seeing as Aventurine -IS- a very small team, I'd rather they work 24/7 on the game than throw around a lot of stuff.

 

Although some status updates would be nice to have for sure. But i don't expect too many Videos/SS's or something like that anymore until the launch actually comes around. Unless of course they drop the NDA at some point, then we have players from whom we can get info.

 

*shrug* It's just a few more weeks. Might as well distract ourselves with something else until the day comes around.

I'd kinda expect that they would be working around the clock trying to get things polished for release not taking vacations and long holiday breaks....

Not sure about your company but mine doesn't shut down over the holidays... We get xmas and new years thats it...

Yeah, I was expecting that Tasos would be man enough to give an update today as well...

Guess he wants a few more days to get the wording just right.

Don't break precedent. You should've replied with a smiley. Let me demonstrate:

"lol to bad this isnt even close to the case "

"lol to bad this isnt even close to the case "

"lol to bad this isnt even close to the case "

Something like that! 

--------------------------------------
A human and an Elf get captured by Skaven. The rat-men are getting ready to shoot the first hostage with Dwarf-made guns when he yells, "Earthquake!" The naturally nervous Skaven run and hide from the imaginary threat. He escapes. The Skaven regroup and bring out the Elf. Being very smart, the Elf has figured out what to do. When the Skaven get ready to shoot, the Elf, in order to scare them, yells, "Fire!"

Order of the White Border.
