Our Plans For Lich King
Alrighty... A lot of people have been asking about when we are going to have Lich King. I know this may disappoint many of you, but we will not release it when retail does. I just do not think that it is right. Scape is the "holding tank" and "safety net" for players who either
1. Can not afford to play retail for a period of time, due to job loss, or whatever...
2. Get bored with content and would leave WoW all together to go to another game...
Instead our hopes are, that people WILL support retail.. and most of our players do. We hope that those who all of the sudden for some reason can not afford to play retail for a couple of few months, or that those who get bored of content and are not patient enough to wait for expansions to release, will figure... "it isn't as big of a deal if I don't pay for it" instead of just jumping the WoW ship all together and going to another game not to return.
New content is the wind in retails sails. We aren't going to take that away from them.. because after all, everyone playing WoW in this world, is dependent on them doing well. Scape is not here to compete with them. Their product will always be bug free, low on hackers, and most up to date.
We have nothing to do with, and will never have anything to do with people who are hosting Lich before or even right after retail. Like when Burning Crusade came out, we took a little bit to put it on... not long, but we let the "coolness and excitement" to check it out, be retails rewards to reap.
