    More important info:
    We try to be very open and transparent with our fans, as I hope this AMA shows you.

    Your concerns are all about release date. The fundamental issue here is that we just don't have a release date right now. We're using beta testing in the traditional sense. When beta testing shows that the game is where we want it to be, we'll lock in a release date.

    I'm pumped about what we were able to accomplish for BWE2 and I think you guys will be too when you see it. We're not that far off. We're obviously going to release in 2012, and any statements to the contrary are absurd.

    As for the "one month delay" versus "not one month delay", we have to line up distribution and retail sales so obviously we'll announce a release date in advance of the actual release, but we don't have a policy of "exactly X weeks in advance". Aidan was giving his personal take on this. Rubi is correct that there isn't a nailed down number of weeks notice.

    ~ MO
    Well, at least we still get advance notice.

    I bolded a certain part for emphasis.
    I hope you haven't forgotten my role in this little story. I'm the leading man. You know what they say about the leading man? He never dies.

    If you give in to your impulses in this world, the price is that it changes your personality in the real world. The player and character are one and the same.

    I was rather happy to see that they're saying their maintenance is going to be similar to GW1, with not much down time. (I had heard about that before, but never from the devs)
    Now, I haven't played GW1, and I really come from WoW so... this was just a moment of happy dancing! No more Weds morning without being able to play coz the servers are down? Sweet!

    An extreme amount of stupid.

    I completely agree with this. All they had to do was tweak some numbers and it would've been better to me.

    Ah well, we'll see how this new system goes come the BWE.

    PM, the afternoon

    Last time the servers came up like 1.5-2 hours early though, so maybe that'll happen again.

    Even worse...believe it or not.
    I got so disgustingly happy and feverishly excited from so much energy that I gave that odious Draxx, who couldn't invent a hover hammock to save his miserable life even if gravity was reversed!, my secret blueprint for a hover-board. Revolutionary I tell you! Of course he didn't understand it and rushed development. But now no one will take it seriously! Woe is me...
