I dont want to use these boards as a way to personally slander the dev team of Irth online.

But I have been involved in one of their other major problems/projects for the last 6 years and let me tell you.
I dont expect anything but a half baked bugfest

unless they can prove me wrong.

Im waiting

I'm not going to judge any game, since its not even in beta.  Some already have ideas on how games will be, but its best to wait and see how a game turns out.  Beta is good to check it out and help make improvements, as things can and do change.

With so many games being canceled, I just hope many will succeed.  I would hate to hear another game bites the dust, after so long in production.

I am very curious about this game for some time now, i applied for beta too.

It looks and sounds good to me even if they only implement(?) the half of what they say. Hope that this one will not be cancelled but you never know for sure but they say that expenses are normal. So that's some good new, yes i find it strange that there is no board here for this game, i have seen it in the gameslist but that's it.

One day all will die, surely you but never I.
