Like there has already?

Patch 197 was 1 month and 2 days ago.

Have been several gaps of over a month, during which a significant bug was present.(FIX SOULCLUSTERS, OPEN MC5).

FRE's not fixed, synch bug not fixed, many other bugs since BETA not fixed.

We have paid for a beta, yes, PAID.

Please define significantly earlier. Are we talking "in the next few weeks" or "mid-august"? Or somewhere in between. No fixed date required, but that statement is so vague it means nothing. Answer subject to alteration, etc etc :)

lol but you won't tell us how many eh?
i think it's safe to say that by bringing up that fact, you're only trying to prove lexx to be incorrect/inaccurate. once again, by being ambiguous in ur excuses, i'm believe more and more in the "KK owns me" theory. why the hell can't you answer our questions rather than covering your ass? no offense, of course.

Because we wanted to add more content and more features. That's when "Dome of York" (which was planned as a simple world expansion) became "Beyond Dome of York". The list of features coming with NC:BDOY grew and grew and only when I posted my latest plan-file we did a feature-freeze.

Also the work on important internal tools (e.g. enhanced item- and character tracking to be able to help players in a better fashion than giving them 100k for the loss of items worth 20m) made us delay the deadline from Q2/04 to Q3/04.

My apologies Odin, although the rest of my thread holds true, in that KK has never met a deadline, and currently has alienated large amounts of people who..

a) re-activated their accounts to avoid the BDOY Wipe
b) have waited for months for DOY, only to be told its delayed again
c) others not met in the first two.

Right now, several dozen people have just died from AIDS in Africa.

It is only a game.

There are other priorities that we should be spending our energies on.

Right now, my cash-o'meter is ticking into KK's BANK ACCOUNT.
Right now, i dont care if someone has just died, its part of life. You too will die one day and i bet you wont be thinking "Oh gawd no...I do hope that the people over at neocron.com/forums are thinking about me"
Right now, im more concerned about my own fucking money than someone else's problems.

I would suggest that people who are obviously getting heated up about this log off and go and chill for a while.
Oh yes mays well jump on the bandwagon.......REMOVE PARA FFS..... :D

I went from really really angry, to mildly annoyed, to deep seated irritation. Now I'm just wanting answers to my questions, assuming MJS is still reading this.

Oh, and do something about para.

Excellent. Is this in combination with a database software upgrade?

wow, excellent post Octavia. Really really good.

I also especially agree about the price. How can people complain about the price? think of all those 50$ games you people have purchased that have given you 15-16 hours of enjoyment. Think of all you have played for NC and the tons of hours you got playing from it.

I must have played NC an obscene number of hours. Probably like 10 morrowinds, probably more. And at what price? A very very cheap one.

Then you're helping Reakktor make a better game. Congratulations.
Wait until it happens to you.
Then cancel your account, if �10 is that much to you per month.

I know, break it down, I got carried off.

I am sorry... but since I hate being called a liar/traitor/pimp whatever... ;) we decided to put the opening of the beta a little vaguely. ;)

That's a pretty fucking major feature. Why the hell don't you mention stuff like that. What else is coming that we all want but haven't been told about :wtf:

err hello?!!

this game is hardly cheaper than any other mmorpg and yeh u dont have as many people to support so surley that means that u can afford the server and pay some DEVELOPERS to create doy.
doys suppossed release date was a year and a half before this "Official [wink wink nudge nudge] Deadline" well excuse me but where has the money that i have put into this game been going i requested a GM 4 times in my NC time and the fastest time response i have got was 2.5 hours(thanks astarte) and the other 3 times were 4 hours + whats going on here?
I also notice u have alot of voluntry staff so those people arnt getting paid with my money so where is it going? this is not a personal kick KK in the face statement it is mearly stating the truth

WHATS GOIN ON!
