In light of the recent Kickstarterversary, and the planned launch in S2 2019* I thought I'd reshare this July 2017 State of Elyria message. (Remember when?)
What's truly remarkable is how little progress they've made and seemingly have actually gone backwards on graphics and playable game systems.

Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
Practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent.

But in all seriousness... as long as people continue to give him millions of dollars to develop what sounds like their dream game (on paper and in concept art) why should he really try to get to launch? Or Beta? Or even Alpha? IMHO CoE is a game that currently promises to be all things to all people but once people are actually starting to get inside the game they will realize how different reality is. So why risk that when folks can apparently be strung along indefinitely?
