They have said (many times) that there won’t be any wipes, all existing MP characters will move to a “standard”/legacy realm (like in PoE & D4).
So you understand why, you just don’t care.
Probably yes.
Don’t worry, what you said in your first post are also … your opinion.
I know, but it’s a good thing as there’s a lot that still needs to be done, added, fixed, etc before release. IMO, “other games releases” has less to do with it, but what do I know.
That’s likely because there’s not much new to say. It’s still expensive, they’ve still not budgeted for it & they still want to do it post-1.0. All of the comments the ever-awesome Andrew has transcribed still basically say the same as Judd’s initial post. It’s not unreasonable at all to want an update on a ~3 year old post, but (sadly) nothing’s changed.
