[Llamfia]

Without going into too much detail... they copped out.

New ETA is mid-January (maybe), so take that for what its worth.

...

from another thread... from Cal:


No. As stated in the Producer's Letter it takes a while to get all the pieces together for a video. Plus, everyone has been slammed.

We really never had a moment to breathe from July through ... oh this past Friday.

There is much more going on than boosters and publishes. But we couldn't can't say anything until stuff is solid. Well we COULD it's just best not to.

We are aiming for mid-January to get the "State of the Game" video together, but that is a moving target.

It's most important to know we do do our best (and I do my best) to answer and try to respect both expectations and delivery to the community.

In this instance we simply ran out of time,

Like someone said - postponed until next year.. same procedure as every year ...

 

[AesSedai]

- To be honest, I feel like we've been given an answer.
Also from Cal in the same thread mentioned above, but a few posts earlier:

As for the rest ... The reason there is no announcement is that after a lot of thought I didn't want to push two paragraphs out that don't entirely address the subject that consistently gets so much attention.

This topic is as emotional as it is one of technology for Ultima Online, so I wanted to address it in a venue where you can hear and see what we have to say that is the dev diary we are doing on video...

- To me, that is an answer. Aye, I did chop up the entire post, which really should be read in its entirety (click the blue arrow in the quote above to read it all).. but I did so because this was, to me, the most telling portion and the part that I feel is a sneak peak at what the video diary will be covering in more detail, in regards to your question and the subject.

They're going to wait until just after the release of DC Universe Online. When many gamers won't be lookin'. They want to keep it a secret even after they tell about it.

Now why would they wanna do that, when this miracle of miracle savior of UO, that will be just brimming, if not downright overrun with players who transfer'd/left/quit/whined/cried/boohoo'd/etc (rolls eyes) will be blasting its whereabouts from the heavens!!??


Wanna buy a bridge?


Whatta waste!
