<p>FYI all!</p><p>Shards of Destiny has been pushed back one day to the 23rd.  Other than that, it is on track and we don't anticipate any issues.</p>

<p>Is that date for ALL servers including the non US based ones?</p><p>After the last LU debacle it was stated you were going to try and get us all updated at exactly the same time <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Darkor]

<p>great</p>

[Ampd]

<p>what is the reason to be pushed back? seriously?</p><p>wow it gets more and more frustrating</p>

[Ampd]

<p>and its not on track if it has to be pushed back...</p>

[ElsaRat]

<p>It's only a day! And I'd much rather they took whatever time they need to ensure a smooth release.</p>

[ScubaEtte]

<p>when and how long of a downtime on the 23rd?</p>

<p>Let my propose a new strategy for you guys.</p><p>Set the release dates for things WAAAAY the eff too far past when you think you'll be able to have it done, like, a month longer than expected, and then announce they you'll be moving the release date FORWARD, which makes people <strong>NOT DESPISE YOU.</strong></p><p>I mean seriously? It's been on test for like fifty-leven years, did you REALLY need another day? Really?</p><p>Most frustrating developers out of any game I've ever played. And I've played a 'lot' of games.</p><p>Stop. Pushing. Dates. Back. F. f. s.</p>

[Catria]

<p>Wow..... lots of whining and complaining going on around here.  It's just 24 hours for crying out loud. </p>

[theriatis]

[salty21db]

<p>must have different opinions...one day pushback due to some problem id assume is not screwing up lol.  putting out a product before it is ready and have to patch it over and over is screwing up.</p>

[Jaeli]

<p>When is Aion being released?</p>

[woolf2k]

Applying a phrase like "disheartening" to a video game is kind of disturbing. You could try doing something else if it bothers you that much. I hear there's a new Dan Brown book out.</p>

[Vanisher123]

<p>Just wondering, is the whole Spire event going live with Shards of Destiny or is it just on test early to get a lot of testing in?</p>

[Lillaanya]

<p>Seriously people, 6 months from now is it going to REALLY have mattered that the update was pushed back one day?</p>

[Crismorn]

<p>Im glad it was pushed back a day, my guild wont implode for another 24 hours!</p>

[Lord Hackenslash]

<p>With all the whining about a 1 day delay which is being done to improve the released product, it's no wonder they are reluctant to give dates. Its a loose/loose situation. Seriously chill, if its being pushed back that most likely means the dev team is pulling overtime in the nights leading up to the release.</p><p>Its a safe bet when you are at home playing the game they will be getting pizza delivered at work at 11:00 in the evening.</p><p>Give them a break and save your whining till the release actually comes out.</p>
