I guess people don't understand the concept of a Beta. This is where the difference between people comes in. Some people (those that are upset right now) are the ones that play a Beta stage just to see if they like the game. The other set of people (Those that are understanding right now) are the ones that play a beta to actually make the game a better product.
I guess they could be like Age of Conan who didn't even allow us to test the Sieges before going live. Or they could be like numerous other MMO launches that have launched with content that wasn't as good as what it could of been. People moan and complain saying that companies ship their games in Beta stages and instead Mythic is taking the necessary means to make sure their game ships in Great shape. And still people moan and complain?
I guess that is what trolls do after all.
Personally, I don't see how anyone can be upset at this particular stage of the game. Everyone assumes that the game is right around the corner and that it was ready for release but that just isn't true. Mythic (Mainly through MJ) has always made it clear that their release schedule was in "mud" meaning it could change at anytime. What people seem to forget is that Warhammer is still a super short Development time. Even if it doesn't launch until 2009 it will have been about a 4 year development cycle. Which would then finally put it around the norm for the market. If it launches in 2008 it will be probably the second fastest development time for a major MMO. I know the fastest development time for an AAA MMO was Mythic's Dark Age of Camelot (which they developed and launched in 18 months). |
