I guess the moral of the story is to not get excited about any MMO game. At least until Blizzard releases their next game:
With that, let me be up front about the current state of the game from where we stand. Jumpgate Evolution is nearly feature complete, but since entering the Friends & Family phase of testing we’ve been able to bring new eyes onto the game and get solid, crucial feedback from actual players and fans. Based on these results, it is clear that the product needs more time to meet its objectives. As an example, we have received and read lots of feedback regarding the instanced and public PvP systems. The feedback has been vital in helping us polish and improve this core feature of the game. We take a lot of time in digesting and considering what people say and take feedback seriously. Given that situation I can tell you that we would rather delay the release, than let you down by releasing an unfinished product. We will continue development past June while extending the test schedules and respond to the results of those tests.
Jumpgate might have been pretty good – the practical answer to EVE’s awesome Sci-Fi universe, without the neckbeard required to enjoy EVE. Chances are that if Friends and Family aren’t enjoying it, the game fucking sucks. At least thats my feeling. Jumpgate’s actual release wasn’t even given a ballpark – so consider this an indefinite delay.

As much as I hate game delays (because I can’t have it!) I do find it a good call, especially in these dark ages of MMO’s where shitting out a quick game without proper testing usually results in instant failure *Cough* Vanguard *end cough*
I guarantee you this one will suck irregardless.
