Another really important benefit of this delay is players will have three starting zones to choose from.
Spreading out the population will mean fewer day-1 servers will be necessary, and the load on zones will be more spread out. I wonder if part of this change is a kind of fail-safe, so if they can't figure out the item storage related lag they introduced to Night Harbour in time for EA at least players are a bit more spread out.
I'm real curious to see how far along Ail'Voreth (spelling?) is after the length of time it is taking Falindral to get polished up. Four extra months is really not a ton of time...

Oh please.
If he needs to constantly be patted on the head and affirmed I’m glad he stays away.
That kind of interaction is utterly useless.

Same can be said about the doomer whining that about 80% of the "critique" in this thread. I don't think there is any danger of this forum producing dev bootlickers

Is it just doomer whining? Or is some of it warranted criticism?
They just delayed a hard launch date that would see significant revenue to pay unpaid staff because the game as it stands doesn’t have strong enough appeal. (Classes/gameplay, itemization, performance)
I think the evidence leans one way more than the other.

Thats why I said 80%. There is plenty of legitimate criticism, this thread is almost entirely not that. For example I'm holding my beta key for a pal who I have recommended not to play just yet because I know the issues that exist would turn him off. I definitely agree with the delay

It's both an age of the player phenomenon, as well as the time period the game came out. You'll never recapture 1999 era internet where everyone wasn't so connected like they are now.
Several people have mentioned it over the years in this thread, but you're talking peak instant messaging era (ICQ, AIM, etc) and EQ was basically a social media platform wrapped in the package of an RPG. The whole idea of sitting around a camp waiting for respawns works when you'd be sitting there waiting for your friends to message you anyway. In 2026, that's just not a thing that a game can replicate.
