What's your source on that rumor? No mention of it over at mmocenter that I've seen... Not that there's too much being said there anyway... but at least ONE person in the community has seen the game recently (near the end of July).
My prediction? The Chronicle will release before Atriarch. (I say that with great affection for World Fusion and Atriarch...)
... This is where I draw the line: __________________.
It also seems a bit scammy... CG luke stated that he would give refunds , yet when my friend tried to get his money refunded they denied it to him.....AND supposedly they are gonna take the first month that was supposed to be included because of some other game of theirs.
I find it a load of BS..and considering that it has been over a year now, i aint quite happy.
+ most of the people that were interested in TC are MIA anyway , so i believe this game is vaporware or a scam , sort of like DARKFALL.
I know 4 people who would like a refund for the BS preorder, but i dont see that happening.
I aint holding my breath for this damned game to come out.

make that 5. not only have i requested mine, i eventaly fell to telling them that i would settle for a video of them burning a 20$ bill or handing it to a homeless guy on the streets of atlanta. no response. didn't so much surprise me honestly, though what it turned CG into surprised me.
the simple fact that 20 bucks from ~100 preorders is so valuable to them should tell you something.
The devs have no clue whats going on, evident by the sheer lack of information. They cant post a dev blog because it was say "This week we phoned microsoft as we still havent installed the visual basic dev kit as we cant get the installer working"
Make that 6 people defrauded

This game is officially toast in my book, although to be honest I stopped believing anything the devs and CG said a long time ago. There is no spin left for CaesersGhost to convince me otherwise anymore
Also, since I won my pre-order from the mmorpg.com contest they had way back when, I cannot ask for a refund. I can, however, request that the devs of The Chronicle repay me for my loss by paying for the subscription time to an mmo worth playing that has actually been released. I doubt they would respond, but I can request it:D Actually, now that I think about it, I wonder what their contract with mmorpg.com states as a penalty if mmocenter does not provide its part of the contest by not actually turning out the game that was promised.

Considering some of the crap that gets its own forum, Id say mmorpg would take anything they can throw out and consider it a game

I really tried to hang on with the "game"....but when the only two ppl that give out new info would rather insult you and then try explain away the insults as if they were just metaphors? Well....there you go. How long ago was the Beta supposed to be here?
"This may hurt a little, but it's something you'll get used to. Relax....."
heh..i had a metaphor of my own in response to 'her' children metaphor, but i guess it was too deep for CG and it was deleted shortly after it went up.
but im with you 100%, delays are one thing but the cycle of lies, blaming the few fans they have for no information(remeber the infamous information leak, when there was still no information to leak..and still isnt) and now its just them grilling hotdogs and talking down to the people they stole money from.
I have to admit...RR had me convinced that they were trying to do something different and that they were actually gamers that had an idea of what we wanted. But they have shown their true colors.
Anyway, they can have my $20...and all I can say is that I don't think I'll take anything they say as true from now on. They've blantantly lied to us, and they will again.
I'll still play the beta and check it out....the $20 is gone to me so no biggie. Andd just maybe it will be still worht the wait like we all though...or most of us at least...lol
"This may hurt a little, but it's something you'll get used to. Relax....."
(africast)basicly bought rr. you won't be told this, but thats what happened to the chronicle. everyone is working on africa mmorpg. now cg will probalby say no its not true but its already been slipped that most of the team is working there, and with just a little thought you can see why...thats where they got the bulk fo their money. the one thing they did right was trick them into thinking they were a real develpment company and not some ragtag group of people. and why the chronicle is still a few goblins running around a small dungoen a year after it was supposed to be live. notice at least africa was snuck into e3? not a sighting of the chronicle though.

When did that happen? ...I don't remember that.
When I walk around it looks like everybody's working on The Chronicle... Perhaps I should take a second look or load the latest build, perhaps we named the Africa client "The Chronicle" though...

see, all you had to do was tell us that,
even though this latest, greatest build cant come up with a new ss or video or even a tidbit of information in the past 6 months ..that the employess are indeed enjoying it for yourselves in between kosher hotdog parties in the parking lot.

I'm betting that if all of us who followed your "game" were to speak up, mmorpg.com would listen. Balls in your court, CG. Show us The Chronicle isn't vaporware and/or a scam or just leave.
We've had a MMORPG.com Rep in the studio playing The Chronicle already, they are well aware the game exists.

Yeah, I had one checking out my new cd collection. Saying you've had someone in studio doesn't fly anymore, CG. Have them tell us they were there and what they saw. Was this a recent event or weeks/months ago? Proof, CG. The people who paid and are feeling like they have been scammed want PROOF. Your word, sadly, does not count for much anymore.
This is basicly a player worlds type of operation, you buffoons. i knew that from the getgo, and anyone looking into it a little bit should have to. only differnce is the little brat who runs the company has a rich daddy and a better(slightly) base than PW to work off of.

Okay, I'm lost. What is Player Worlds and who are the "buffoons"?

Dang I wonder what went wrong...Another skill system based mmorpg doomed Wonder what will happen to Africa too, made by same company.
