They've generated so much positive press with this release, and the community bolstering the game's image over time.
Today, including all of the hiccups, and the fact that the game did NOT meet the 11th deadline, has just destroyed about 50% of that boon they worked on for a year. Whether or not it is still the 11th in the US, EU has not seen live, and it is the 12th there.
Not to mention a lot of pissed off shareholders...

This is it. A year spent building things back up, just to have this tear it all back down. I subbed so I'm down for at least a month. I have been through this before so I'm, somewhat, ok with it. I wish there was more communication. But, for most people, this will turn into
"Funcom all over again" threads on mmorpg.com and other sites. Hopefully I'm wrong and most people will wait till it's live to give it the shot that I hope it deserves, I'm a resubber too.
