Dragon Empires: Beta Testing Delayed

The monthly Dragon Empires newsletter brings us sad news today, as a letter from Ted Carron, DE's producer, announced a delay in the start of the beta testing. Here's the letter:

Hello everyone,
I am sure you are all eager to hear news of the beta and while I can give you some news unfortunately it won't be the news a lot of you want. Due to some delays beta will not now start till the end of July/start of August. The reason for this delay is as usual that everything about an MMORPG is harder than you think at first.

At first Phase 0 was going to be very simple but we decided this would get very boring very quickly. So we decided to add some more features. When Phase 0 starts it will include weapons and armor sets - simulated classes and races and PvP formal battles.

While this does result in a delay to the beta start it does mean that beta will be more fun from the start and we can get more useful testing done.

So, please be patient with us a little longer and we will keep in touch!

Ted Carron
Producer - Dragon Empires

They also announced an upcoming House of Commons chat at Stratics on the 30th of June at 8pm GMT, where they'll be covering mainly combat and economics.

And last but not least, there's a new story, called "A Note From Merric", to be found here.
