Yeah, been calling this shit vaporware for a while. I mean, I guess "something" was released, but this was telegraphed for a while.

This sucks, not for Ashes of Creation specifically because I always thought that their loop of PVE players building cities for PVP to destroy what doomed from the start, but it sucks for MMO in general because it’s another failure/cancelation. it’s not going to create confidence in investors to support the genre and that just sucks.

I paid for a key but have had serious concerns since Intrepid and Steven had their falling out with Narc. I guess it was too much burn and not fast enough to get to release.
Edit: You just can't launch with WoW/More than WoW functionality straight out of the gate. I mean, Elon could fund it as a passion project but its a moon launch apparently to do an MMO these days. You have to start with a base level of functionality or Star Citizen levels of fundraising and look at what's happened there. Once you get out the door, then you can build on that but trying to serve a full 24 course meal out the gate is going to be a money pit.
