DDO DDE-layed

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited’s been delayed. Honestly, though, we’re not all that impressed. After BioShock 2, Max Payne 3, Splinter Cell: Conviction, and Dark Void all closed their eyes, held their breath, and made the leap into 2010, DDO’s month-long delay seems, well, anticlimactic. September 9? That’s, like, tomorrow.

“While we are very pleased with the performance of the game and are excited about the response from the players, we are committed to delivering a high-quality experience.  We feel that more time is needed to deliver on this commitment,” said Fernando Paiz, Executive Producer of DDO Unlimited, in a press release.

“We feel that more time is needed to deliver on this commitment.  As a result, we are delaying our launch to ensure that we can support the massive increase in players that we are expecting and deliver them a free to play experience like none other.”

The free update was originally set to go live on August 4. Now it’s not. Really though, this delay’s nothing. If you want something to do in the meantime, go check out our preview of the game. By the time you’re done reading, the update will probably have landed, settled down, and started a family in a scenic rural area. Wake us when a game gets pushed into 2011. Then we’ll talk.

avatarReally?

Are you seriously complaining that they aren't delaying long enough? This one-month delay sounds perfect to me unless they start pulling a Duke Nukem or Windows Vista and keep pushing it back. A one-month delay makes it look like they have it about ready and it just needs some tweaking. Good for them not pushing a "good enough" game out the door to meet a deadline.

Of course I wasn't seriously complaining about a short delay. It was a joke.
