Hello all,
We have some news for you but sadly it’s not the news you were hoping for. Unfortunately it is necessary to delay the re-opening of beta until next week. This is due to some last minute issues that cropped up as EA Mythic were going through the final checklist. Until these few, small problems have been ironed out, we aren’t able to re-open the beta servers.
The teams are working flat out on this, there are always plans in place to deal with the unexpected and while this will change the schedule slightly it won’t affect the quality of the final product. Like you, we believe that the game has to be delivered in a high quality state, even in beta. As soon as we have more information for you regarding this we’ll be sure to let you know.
Thanks for your understanding and your patience, the Old World is almost ready to welcome you once again!
For myself I'm on holiday after today until the new year. I'm going to spend Christmas with my wife's family in Colorado and Las Vegas. I'll try and keep up with things on here and I'll be checking in with the rest of the team at Goa as often as I can but... Vegas....
In any event the other Community Managers - Sterntaler, Citseko and the others - will keep you up to date on what's going on until I get back on New Year's Day. If you have urgent problems then PM one of them, otherwise I'll deal with it when I get to it.
