Dawntide - Human waiting anxiously for a new release date

Hey kids, it's a Dawntide update! Yes, really. The fantasy sandbox from Working As Intended has been quiet since delaying its planned October 1st release date, but today the devs have issued a brief blurb on the game's official website that suggests a bit of hope for the future.

As it turns out, the delayed release was the result of a funding shortage, but now WAI has secured a new source and the team has "reassembled to resume development." A new patch is due October 17th, and a new release date announcement should roll in before the end of the month. WAI also takes a moment to tip its collective cap to Dawntide's hearty faithful. "Thanks for sticking with us through the rough times, and we still intend to release the best sandbox MMO out there," the site says.

[Thanks to Halldorr for the tip!]

Sounds promising. What would be good is it it launched polished.

Haven't played it for about 6 months now, but from what I recall after two years of beta roughly, not a damn thing had changed/improved. Unless they were bought out by someone else since then, I'd bet it's in a late alpha/early beta state still.
