I originally wrote this game off as a piece of shit after playing the alpha. But this makes me take a second look:
Dear friends of Wish,
We would like to inform you that Wish Beta 2.0 will start on December 1, 2004, and not, as originally planned, in fall 2004. The beta test will last until December 31, 2004. We apologize for the delay.
The reason for the delay is that we want Beta 2.0 to be a truly mind-blowing experience. We are therefore reworking many parts of our game client, server, and content, based on the feedback that we received from our E3 version and from community message boards. These changes will take longer to finish than anticipated, but we are sure they will be worth the wait!
We are also moving the release date of Wish from the first to the second quarter of 2005. Too many games have suffered from a premature release, and we do not want to be one of them.
All one huge seemless world that can support 100,000 people.
Don't ask me how...but that's their hype.
Inside each person lives two wolves. One is loyal, kind, respectful, humble and open to the mystery of life. The other is greedy, jealous, hateful, afraid and blind to the wonders of life. They are in battle for your spirit. The one who wins is the one you feed.

But stories don't sell, because the majority of MMO gamers are the kewld00d I r l337 crowd.
Also, the alpha of Wish I played in was just BORING. They need a better sell.
Also, point and click sucks ass.. I hope they changed from it to wasd movement.

well duh alpha wasn't impressive. it's like the first stage of the playable game. of course it isn't going to be tuned and polished. so much is going to change when beta comes out.
