Fans of the forthcoming sandbox MMORPG known as Dawntide will have to wait a bit longer to get their open beta fix, as the game's developers recently announced a delay of a few days to iron out several pesky issues. Working as Intended's Wiz, posting on the game's official forums, left fans with a brief overview of the decision.
"We're having a few remaining issues with physics and crashes that we need time to sort out before we can open up the beta. As a consequense, we will be delaying the Open Beta to later in the week. We apologize for the delay and the late announcement, but we think a more stable and playable beta is worth the wait. Further announcements on new opening time will be posted in the coming couple of days," he writes.
Working as Intended, an independent studio based in Copenhagen, Denmark, has been developing a feature set that includes skill-based progression, a fully explorable and conquerable world, complex crafting, and player cities. You can learn more about the game at the official website.
[Thanks to all the folks who alerted us to the beta news.]

I saw this yesterday on their website. As much as I was really looking forward to trying this game out, I do think it says a lot that they were willing to "give it a week". It's a hard situation to be in, but I think they made a choice that I (as a player) would prefer my dedicated game company to choose.
So kuddos to WAI.

Since the demise of SWG, I've been looking for a game that the player has the power to build communities and become a meaningful part of the game world. This game is definitely on my radar.

I've been in the alpha/beta, and as much as I love the ideas, it's not beta yet. It's still extremely buggy. Needs more work.
