You are NOT keeping us in the loop. When can we Expect to see ARR?

[RELAXcowboy]

You know if they gave xx/xx/xxxx dates that would put even more pressure on them than they already have.

Plus what would piss people off more. "hey we said xx/xx/xxxx but we have to push it back a few days" or not knowing the exact date till they are sure that date can be met?

Did you ever think maybe they themselves are unsure what exact day they can open servers? Mid-February. Is that not better then "Early 2013?" Is that not better then "TBA."

Soo..SE tells us everything they can...When beta starts, how many phases and how long the phases last, what is being done each phase, and who can be in each phase...but they're not telling us anything simply because you have issues on your end that stop you from reading it?

Kinda like blaming the evening news for hiding things from you because your TV doesn't work.

That's because they don't want to give a solid date before beta test commences. Anyone with some basic math and reading skills could estimate a summer release.

In fact what they gave us was an estimate of the longest it could take. They might take even longer than that, but they're basically telling us "around this time....maybe sooner" .

It's better if they don't tell us because then if they need to put the game back few months people would bitch. By just saying it going to be release in 2013 give them more then enough time to rebuild the game to a level that is great for release.

Oh, man, that was funny, thanks for the laugh!

It'll be ready when it's ready.

This should give you some insight on a timeline and they have added extra time to account for any extra changes. I hope this link works for you

Yeesh, didn't you read the post where all the community reps said they're on vacation until after New Year's?

[Denmo]

I just find it funny how there'll always be someone complaining about something, despite the mountains of evidence/opinion contrary to theirs.

I'd say it's trolling but that's giving too much credit.

[AttacKat]

Didn't you read the latest roadmap?!? All the info you missed are in there. Oh wait ...

I SAY:
You told us nothing right here. Absolutely nothing but run arounds, with no kind of of dates.
Doesn't help that when I click to download the roadmap, nothing happens..

Don't blame SE when you don't fix your own browser issues.

this thread has the same amount of fail as the 1.0 launch did.
