From then to now. Did they keep their promises?

Here is what was shown to 1.0 players before telling them to start paying monthly again.

Now besides the 1.0 free trial being cut down from 2 months to 2 weeks, what else do you guys think about this outline?

I think that they did a remarkably good job meeting their targets within a short time period, and the things that aren't implemented yet are scheduled for implementation in the upcoming months.

I sort of wonder what sort of implication you're trying to make by posting this thread. Is there something in particular that you're hoping people will notice wasn't delivered on and will be outraged by?

The combat system is nothing like what they implied it would be.

Only having 2 weeks of access for free while the servers dont even let you log in most of the time is BS.

Other than that its great I guess, if youre into WoW clones.

Remembered about it, thought it'd be neat looking back and comparing what they promised to what we have now.

Apart from the not being able to log on bit I'm extremely happy with the way things turned out. Unfortunately the ability to log on is kind of critical. Once that's resolved I'll be quite content.

I don't have a problem loggin in, then again I don't play at prime time.

They did what they could and had to cut some tasty fat, but what we got is a far cry from genuinely bad.

One day, a massive
geological anomaly
suddenly appears from
deep within the ground.
Current players will have
the opportunity to unlock
the mysteries surrounding
this strange, new landmark
in the coming months.

Yeeeeeah...

Im currently happy with the game in general... I bought the game since 1.0 but didn't sub cuz it was so bad, but now, tho still has a lot of flaws, at least it meets the MMO standards...

What I still hate the most is classes balance & no ability to party with certain friends on different servers, far from the thing called "A Server System Built to Support a Worldless Model". I thought it would be more like GW2 but this isn't even close

For as vague as the public doc was, there did pretty well as far as what it promised. I don't see anything vastly different from what they wanted to do initially and what they delivered.
