A lot of you are probably getting impatient at the moment, wondering when the next stage of beta will be coming around and why this is taking so long when we said March-April and we're still in Beta 2. Well, there are several reasons.

First of all, the project is huge. What we are doing took NCSoft a huge team several years to complete. I am NOT saying it will take us years, but i would like you to take into consideration how much work we are putting into this. Coding a server from scratch is a tough job, but definately worth it. We already have the client, all we need to do is make the server, and make sure the two communicate to each other correctly. Once this is done, we will have the closest sever to retail there is out there, at at a cost of $0 for you. Remember that.

Second of all, we hit some unexpected bumps on the way, which took a while to solve. With the second coder "umfer" who has a Full time Job too, you can imagine that there can be delays in fixing bugs which are hard to solve, (Me being in India for a month didn't help either). As you can see though, we are ironing out the bumps now, and the road looks smoother already.

Eta? I don't have one for you. We already made a mistake of telling you a month, and when we reached it, many of you started complaining. I explained above why it's hard to tell you a date that the server will be ready, but one thing you CAN count on, is updates from me whenever i have something for you. What i can suggest right now, if you're not a beta tester, is to go outside, play some sports, go to the gym, get a girlfriend. I'm telling you this now because i assure you that when Paradise goes live, you wont see the sun for several months.
