The sad reality is that MMO developers should remain quiet about their title until it is 90% in the can. I know it's exciting and all that, that you just want the world to know about your awesome title filled with features no other MMO has done yet, but it just leads to disappointment when 1) things are delayed and 2) half your promises don't make it to launch, should they make it at all.

Talk about the title when it is about to go into public alpha / closed beta, not before.

I agree with you UnSub, unfortunately that's not the case. Most (or at least all that I'm aware of) games are revealed early on and hyped up, then go into that wonderful information blackout where we hear little to nothing about them.

I do wish games -- especially MMOs -- would veer more towards waiting until a game is much closer to completion. It'd probably spare us from tapping our feet for several years.
