Amen Wulf.
Eq2 FYI was to be released over a year ago at first
date release. For the game it is, and seeing that we
are like 3 weeks into it,
HATS OFF to SONY on a Great Job.
Server stability vs Star Wars is second to none. And
Wulf is 100% right. There is marketing competition to
contend with not just the bottom line and a holiday
season.
They took their time and if you all think that the
BETA was really a BETA, you should think again. It
was a pre release now way a beta.
They had the product 98% there if Microsoft had a beta
as good there wouldn't exists UNIX
ROFL
Enjoy fellow gamers
