    Hello everyone, just want to get an update out on the release date. Our goal was indeed to launch first quarter (March) to coincided with GDC and press we had lined up. Unfortunately we are going to readjust our release date for launch of Planet Cyrene. Our next big media window would be Comic Con in San Diego held in July. We might shoot for a soft launch until then though so please stay tuned as this will be decided soon. If we do decide to do a soft launch it will be May 1st. If not then it will be closer to late June which is closer to the Comic Con event.

    No matter what though we will begin to roll out a lot more as the weeks go by. You will see the trailer, media coverage, official storyline released, and updates on weapons, armor and information on just what makes Planet Cyrene so unique.

    I will update this thread soon with more information and details this coming week.

    Have a great weekend.

    RAZER Custom title ... uh ...

    Good to hear you did the smart thing Ed and just wait a while in stead of launching a half baked product. Sure it must hurt to not be able to launch, but in the end I think this will turn out for the better.

    It's great news Cyrene will not be released without everything really in place and a media campaign and all the little teasers before.

    I'd even say skip Comic-Con and launch on GamesCom and add a couple of instances, missions, creatures, items etc until then.

    Good news :) I for one is looking forward for when the planet launch even if it's not in the 1st Q - and I'm sure most people also rather want to wait and then get a much more 'finished' planet =)

    And as Ed says, we will keep you all updated with a lot of great info and updates both here on EP and on Cyreneforum.com until then :cool (2):

    defietly dont try to launch shortly before an expo your planning on going to. Get the bugs worked out first. do a very very soft launch no media nothing just let us here know about it. I dont even care if you hold back on the "cool" items dropping too. Just make it a test. to make sure there is no major hickups like you die and revive inside a cave that you can't get out of.

    Very excited that they are doing something at Comic Con. It's on the other side of the U.S. for me so I won't be there :(, but more huge advertising for EU nonetheless! WOOT!!!!

    hmm sad to hear that we won't have a launch in Q1. Will the team at least be able to get some extra content in untill the new launch date? Or is it more like hybernation mode untill the servers go live?

    I agree with Rex. Better to have at least a short phase of live testing before collecting hoards of newbies to be turned away by bugs.

    Just as an FYI ... you won't have too long to wait to learn more about Cyrene!

    Unfinished Business - Part 3 of my covert ops Zekkonian series will be published soon and I can assure you that there will be quite a few cool new photos and sketches from the artists, along with reveals that I think the community will really like. :biggrin:

    The episode is finished except for a bit of content that Ed still needs to give me, and then after he and Kris review the final draft and I make any necessary edits, it will be available.

    I'll post it at CyreneForum.com first, and then here at EP. I really like this episode because of the new stuff being revealed, but also because of the action and the cliffhanger - IF that's the direction we decide to go. :tongueout: I can't see us not doing the cliffhanger though, because it could very well lead to a Part 4, if not something entirely different. :whistling:

    Don't worry about the delay. As long as Menace is awarded with something real valuable in his loot window on launch day we'll all be ok!
