"Chaos" is running into Chaos.

Greetings everyone. Yes, we are running late.

MMOs often run late for EA and even launch. Especially indie MMOs.

We are sorry we kept you all waiting today and gave numerous updates on proposed times. That was the wrong way of doing things, we had good intentions and we got excited about upgrades on our end that ultimately need more polish but will result in a better first experience.

Instead of keeping you all waiting today, we will launch the game in a few days when we feel it is ready.

We will not make you wait weeks or months, we will just do what we have to do. The Steam playtest server will remain open and our launcher client will remain open in the meantime.

Thank you all for your support and we apologize for the inconvenience of a slight delay.

all good, sounds like your exited about the upgrades you found. be prepared for the negative review bandwagon to come through, just push through it.

It is 3:15 a.m. where we live, so it is better to go to sleep and release when we are ready for the hate wave and can provide excellent customer service. Definitely okay with negative reviews, the hero's journey is fun in real life.

You only get one 'first' launch, usually.

Delay is better than disaster.

patience is a virtue, see you in a few, good luck with the polishing and ignoring the trolls.

Pity
There's just nothing you can do.
So can we assume that the game could be released on Friday or Saturday?

Everything is looking good for the weekend. We will figure out an exact date soon.

It is fun talking to the trolls, I think a lot of people are reading what we are saying to the trolls and having a nice laugh or learning more about the devs/project. We usually come here and chat when we are compiling new servers/clients so we have extra time.
