The developers have finally given some concrete into on their time-frame for beta and release! The latest Dev Journal at the Warcry network says they have a set date for release in 2008, preceded a few weeks by beta. It sounds like they really are going to have pretty much just a stress test before DF hits the shelves. Let the tears of joy fall, yes, in this case it is ok for a grown man to cry
Only a few more short months to go people, so lets all be ready! Guild notification emails will be going out in the next few days, and again when a precise date is announced. Beta may not mean as much as we had hoped as far as getting us a head start, but the good news is that ALL of us will likely be playing sooner than we would have guessed. I will be trying to get a few recent new friends from WOW to come join us.
Other iinteresting news in this update - the single character per server rule is definitely in. This will be both a good and a bad thing imo. Guild city NPCs will also function for all races, and will not attack guild members based on racial factions. Stay tuned at least once a week if you can, we will be making some decisions based on this new info.
