Yeah think of them having to turn around and start making graphics/gameplay etc more "modern" and up to date. I can totally believe of took 8 years.

I think what a lot of people don't realize is that WoW was in development for 4-5 years before it was released, and they had 100's of industry leading professionals working on it. I applaud Aventurine for getting to this point without scrapping the project.

I will be pre-ordering this game and if it's even a 10th of the game I think it's going to be I will be happily playing it for quite some time.

I just wnt to ask the leakers if they think that every thing in the game actuallly looks like it took 8 years. I personally dont.
lol you honestly dont understand how hard it is for an indie company to make a top of the line custom engine from scratch that holds 10k ppl lagfree, and has next gen graphics! plus the many many years it took that make the extra shit and the enormous map....look at blizzard it takes them 10 years to make 1 ridiculously easy game, and wow has been out for 5 and there havent been any real updates other than gamebreaking decisions

Environmentally is next-gen. No so much the actual graphics, but the design.

Tbh you deserve a good flaming. With minimal effort you could have found out the game has not been in development for 8 years....

You gotta think, in 2001, when it was only 5 people, how did they get money? They could of all been living in 1 house, all working part time jobs trying make the game, while being able to pay rent, and all that shit.
hay thar lil fellah, ever heard of a bank?
You can actually lend large amounts of money there.


As for the developing, it's around 5 years.
In 2003 they split up with razorwax and had to start all over again.

Getting a loan for a game company is not easy. It's nearly impossible from a bank. it's more plausible from an investor, but they want a big piece and artistic rights and a huge return.
