In the third part of the interview with Mark Gerhard by MMOHUB, Mark reveales some information on the current state of the game. Basically they do not want to reveal too much to avoid disappointment, which is understandable but it keeps us fans into the dark. Just read the quote below for the good stuff.
For all intents and purposes the game is done. It’s finished, in testing, and working. But we’re in testing and going, “What if we change this…” I suppose we’re so excited about what the end result can be that we’re tolerating all these changes in 11th hour so to speak. There’s nothing really arbitrary, ti’s all things we think will really help gameplay or make it more fun. I do expect it to be released in 2009, but it’s hard to guarantee these as I’m sure you know. The Studio is however doing a fantastic job and working tirelessly to get the game awesome and ready for Beta.
