Hm. This is the sort of nonsense that killed Lords Of The Realm 3.
In just about any other industry a company that publicized a release date and then flaked on it would be heavily fined.
Why do video game companies continually do this? Why give us a specific "2nd quarter 2004" and instead just say 2004?
It's irresponsible. If there is any chance of a product not shipping by the publicized release date then the release date should not be publicized.
My level of interest for this game has just dropped a notch. I buy maybe about one game a year. Why should I keep waiting? Particularly now that I am unlikely to trust any future promised release dates.

I think that the reason why they do this, is just a nice little marketing move - "everbody" does it - IMO to keep the interest going, coz when it all comes down to it, the companies really don't have to care whether or not you follow the making of the game and log-on to the forum everyday - what IS important for them, is that you buy their product when it comes out !
It's ALL about money....
I think the game release date is delayed not due to bad planning. Actually, we should blame the delay on ourselves... which is so good! Lately there have been so many updates, that I wonder how the devs handle all the work they got to do. :)

i'll agree that we to some extend can blame ourselves for the delay - but the extra waiting time will be worth it - i think

It's true that there are many updates. A matter of fact, more than I have seen from any other company on a pending game. Considering how generous the developers have been with info, I guess some delays are forgivable. I retract the harshness of my earlier statement.

The especially interesting fact is that the devs listen to all our ideas and complains. They discuss the matter, hopefully come to a conclusion and add our ideas to the game (given the fact that the idea makes sense ;) ).
It seems like the devs don't develop KoH on their own, but together with the community :go: .

Yes indeed it seems to be the case. They are actually very smart in taking this approach during the design and programming fase of KoH....I.e. all they basicaly need to do is to program our wishes into the game - we ofcaurse will surely buy it coz, when we play the game, we can probably find small details where we can say: "Wow, this particular detail was my idea" - that, IMO, is what this game so special, and is the reason why i wanna come back almost everyday to participate in the various discussions taking place at this board - simply because i feel it matters.
Just so long as we don't get to greedy about what we would like to have added,and delay the release for too long, or make development costs skyrocket too high.
And apreciate all BSS do to try and please us.
I might agree.:cheers:

I have read that too, but if there is a delay i'll take that too - as long as the game is bug-free when it's released then i dont care that much - now we know what we'll spend the fall and winter with ;)

As long as the game is bugfree and much more fun to play I don't care if it's postponed...

yeahh, i'll have to agree with you on that one - the most important thing is IMO that there isn't any bugs.
