I love P1999, have had a blast playing here, and wish to continue playing here. What these devs do on a volunteer basis is very cool, and I don't think anyone would seriously dispute that. I used to chuckle at the "20 more mins" replies to the "when's kunark?" posts, and was seriously happy back in October when the issue was addressed by Nilbog.
On 21 October, Nilbog addressed Kunark by writing:
"Is it more than 50% done?" Yes. "Is it coming out next month?" No. "How fast is work proceeding?" Compared to prekunark, work is being completed at a rapid pace. As we near completion, I will be able to provide a better estimate or date.
My question to the devs is the following: could there possibly be more regular updates regarding kunark? I believe kunark is being completed at a rapid pace, as previously stated. Two months have passed since the last update, might the community inquire about another?
Since Nilbog has not provided a "better estimation or date," I must assume the project is "not near completion." Would it be possible to get a loose estimation based on: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th qtr 2011?

If I paid the developers.. I could give you a date. If I was paid, I could give you an estimate of how long my particular tasks would take. Since no one here works for $, the best estimate I can give you is.. when its done. Some devs have come and gone. Some devs are new. Training them takes time. DDOS attacks take time. Our real lives take time.
When I posted that, if the devs at the time would have continued their tasks at the same rate, then all my statements would still hold true. If a developer decides to resign, or have RL issues, they leave. It's not a job.
My past few weeks, aside from holidays, have been spent training people, fixing the posted Kunark bugs, and polishing up the next zones to be released. When there is a trained team working together, things get accomplished faster.

The beta they put up is far from finished.

Are there outstanding issues in the opened beta zones that haven't been addressed? I'll be offended if you do not report them.
There hasn't been a patch in a while. Like a month. I'd expect the beta to be back up soon.
