1.5 Million Concurrent Users!?!
I've never heard of ZT Online have you? Well, we don;t live in China, but still I watch this stuff like a hawk everyday. In conventional western wisdom that would mean they probably have around 15 million subscribers. Wow! And that's more wow than WoW. OK, well it isn't the west and Chinese games aren't conventional by our standards but I think this makes a pretty good case why we are releasing into China. I still can't believe we haven't gotten any press on that one...

There's something to be said for flying under the radar until your partner is up and running. It'd be counterproductive if you and they had some small delay or other glitch in the startup, and the news coverage story-hook was a comparison of that delay to the 2001 startup.
No publicity is bad publicity. Wait, I think I got that backwards.
ZEBBEEE (I can't log in for some unknow reason):
Rumors are the best publicity that exists.
Could Motormouth send press releases a bit everywhere to announce this ? Knowing that an U.S. game will be released in CHina is THE proof this concept is interesting and must be tried.
Of course, doing noise when things are not ready yet is dangerous, as jwilly said.
BUT, I would give green light for this anyway : make noise, catch a few thousands subscribers in the next months, increase your budget, and BOOST the development for the red-box's release.
Oh BTW, now propaganda is allowed. I won't blame the team for that, because now it's happening for real.
ps : Gophur, I don't know if you have read of that from the forums, but I suggested the idea to call back someone like LINDIR and ask him to be permanent ingame multi-side leader. Not only to organise events but to help DOC analyzing what parts of the gameplay must be improved. Lindir was one of the best leader I've ever played with.
Just a thought.
I still can't believe it, this is soooo exciting :D :D :D :D :D
