A lot of our core players have decided to take a break because we know that this beta is getting extended; probably will not see a release until the first quarter of 2017. Due to that fact a lot of our core is taking a break from the beta. This has traditionally been a real stickler for us. When we play a beta, we expect to be able at some very near future see the release of the game. In both instances, we’ve been bitten and now are twice shy. Speculation has us delaying this beta for quite some time based on the post here by the CEO of Sandbox Interactive, known as Korn.
First of all, I’d like to point out that we have always been very clear about our philosophy with regards to Albion Online: the main goal is for the game to be successful in the long term. The game will be released when we believe that it’s able to achieve that goal. Every time we gave an indication for a release date, we always made that clear.
