Not sure why people favor a winter break release
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] people with lives don't like playing EQ during the holidays. A fall release or even January release would probably be more favorable. I honestly think January would work better... Remember r99 dropping numbers by the hundreds after Christmas? 2-3 months after release people took a 2 week break for the holidays and never came back because the grind was too bad. Even though I'd favor the soonest release because I'm playing no games ATM realistically January would work best. Also that doesn't rush the devs. We definitely could use a beta though. Make the beta server discord perma death with super amazing accelerated xp rate/max 50 in a few hours. Would satisfy us til server is ready xD
