I agree, both CO and FE are in pretty bad shape and need a lot more polish time to be even remotely launch worthy. Sadly both games seem to have run out of money and have to push out in their current condition.

In the end we the gamers are the ones that pay (pun intended) because we have to either choose between skipping a game that might have some eventual potential or paying for an inferior product that has no business being put on store shelves in their current conditions. Sadly if you've played MMO's in the past, all of this isn't anything new to you, it just seems the launches just keep getting worse and worse despite many failures over the last 3 years.
