What? That's not true? They did promise SP, but, they dropped it right after they got their money.

Gameplay is bad.
Design is bad.
UI is bad.
Devs are lying scum.

I think that about sums it up. Dead horse has been beaten.

Well said. Since it has changed to a pure (rubbish) mmo many (especially backers) have given up on this failed/scam kickstarter.

Thank you. I think the proper response is,

"It was always going to be a MMOG. SP was never going to be a focus. You'd have to have been blind not to see that."

I don't feel bad for anyone that backed this game. I was always about his ego and nothing else.

Well again, the one real big news about this is the fact that it has only a few more weeks before the doors are shut, followed by a year of running around still looking for funding.

Well hopefully we will never hear from him again. I will still love his games from my youth though.

The one significant change to SoA is that it has gone F2P, desperate for players, and potential $$$, by hook or by crook, I suppose.

Still bitter garriot went after 2 rabbits and lost both (traditional ultima and mmo ultima). Game is still on my wishlist until its all done. I don't want to give up and need closure (release).
