Just admit that you wanted to make an iPhone server simply because you seen the success in graal classic's iPhone server and realized you were way over your head.

It was my idea to let everyone know what we were doing because you have the right to know why things are taking so long. The original post in this thread even states our intention for announcing this so early:

We are announcing this early because this will place the development project on a temporary hold. We understand that the project has already been delayed many times, and that this is inconvenient for many people, but we believe that the benefits of this project, especially the rapid development of content to be used on both servers, outweigh the delays caused by it.

I don't see why this would take long at all. Considering you're recycling art resources from Era, it shouldn't have taken longer than a week to be very nearly finished. There's no reason why it can't be released before the new Era overhaul, becausw that's certainly not coming any time in the near future.

It was only supposed to take a few weeks to complete. The majority of the work was supposed to be just creating an overworld and dumbing down things like the gang system and events, but our tile artist bailed on us before even finishing the basic tiles. We're not going to create an iphone server that will be in the app store using the current tileset -- it's hideous.
By pushing it off until the dev server is complete (or nearly completed), we will be able to include much more than just the basic systems (such as achievements, more events, quests, etc). Also, if iPhone gamers decide to try the PC version, they won't run into an older and completely different version of what they've been enjoying on their iPhone. Who knows...they might actually stick around. |
