In case some have missed it: release has been delayed for some EU countries. Germany, Austria and Switserland can start today/tomorrow. France, Benelux and Scandinavia will be delayed a week (and can start on the 5th of december).

Haha this is too funny now really. Frogster (German) makes sure to launch the german language servers on time and delays the rest for a week! Meaning even Holland (Spellborn HQ) has to wait a week! This has to be one of the weirdest MMORPG launches in history. - EU playerbase torn apart due to different publishers. - Different publishers having their own release dates. Even within the EU. - Publisher Frogster in EU can't even manage to launch the game on time for all his countries. -------- Is it just me, am I the only one that senses this game turning into one big failure. Only this time it isn't the game itself, but thanks to the publishers. |

yep couple that with the UK being Ip blocked for playing on EU servers and will have to have heavy pings to stateside servers then this is the weirdest launch in MMO history and I sense Epic fail.
As you say the game could be solid but administration is going to kill this game. |

Yeah I wanted to try it on the 27th, one more week to go then. Inability to commnunicate information properly, no advertisement, average PR (saw them in a major game exhibit though) with dedicated community managers trying to soothe the pain, delays, different publishers, no international launch day to impact the media, isolated servers, it's giving them a bad name, hope the game is good and will not suffer too much from this bumpy start

Yup their total inept and Imbecilic decision's could posibbly tear their game apart before they have even started .... and I for one would have no sympathy at all ... they have shown already that they have a total disregard for what their community wants. |

You're right Guillermo, that's a list of ridiculous decisions and outcomes. Putting so many obstacles in the way of playing a game, which is going to struggle for attention anyway, is crazy. |

" http://tcos.com/sbforum/viewtopic.php?t=15331 Seems it just goes from bad to worse over there.

"Easy" only equals "better" for crack addicts and MMORPG developers. |
This is truely become the year of MMO releases that showed future MMOs what not to do! |
