Well lets start with this; The team is currently working on our Battle System, the battle system is one of the most important features in an MMO (Who knew that killing mobs was part of an MMO?) Anyhoo, the battle system is like the backbone of a MMO. What happens is that when we get a bad battle system, like the one we currently have, and they have to replace it, means, that we need to start a new one from scratch!

    Hokay, so they start making the new battle system, they have a lot of things they need to work on. These include; New math, which this one involves AA, which needs Haste, weapon delay, and all that other jazz into it. Then they have to infinitely change the system to apply for each character, mob, how abilities work, how damage is spread, how healing is done, etc.

    That being said, they pretty much had to do what takes normally a year or so to implement, into a 6-7 month period. So this means they have to pt a majority of their manpower and resources into the battle system to get it working correctly so it can be implemented into the game. Also, all content is normally based around the battle system, so, once the battle system is in place, providing more content and other goodies that we want will come more frequently.

    Thank you gents and Ladies for your time.
    The animations are there
    The rendering is there
    The base code is there

    By no means are they starting from "scratch".

    I don't see why it would take too long to implement auto attack... I know it would take years for me to do it but come on these are payed professionals that have been doing these things for most of their adult lives.
