I think it will be released around January - March.

Stefan said early december-Christmas aiming

Aiming.

It would be good if they achieved that, though. :)

Stefan held it off a year already.
Is anyone actually really wanting izone? I mean I'd buy it and try it out but it doesn't really have the mega wow factor of others servers in progress, of what I've seen/heard about it... Much rather have any other server release before it but yh stefan is really wanting this out before any so guess i'll wait it out.

Which means sometime late 2013

Not true. We are almost complete. A december launch is a realistic goal.

What do you say to the whole future Era thing?

That isn't true either. I have played both and they are different.

For example, the screenshots that are being passed around only show 1 planet, which is a 99% non-pk area.

Haha :)

So that's like the social-hub / we don't want to kill people anymore / let's go shopping relaxing place?

Exactly :)

Yay!!! :D :D

It's amazing.

Can't wait for the PR applications

Will there be prizes and such for say, the first 1,000 downloads?
