Exactly! That's the thing, though. I don't think they are. Their presentation of development seemed legit. They make promises about performance for each stage of development. I feel this is a normal project presentation. When you launch a stage:
- Present it to the community
- Allow the members to play the game and place a real operations load on the system
- Have users report on any issues and return that report to the developers
- Further test the system to ensure the reported kinks get worked out
- Report on testing results to the community and move on with the expansion.
It's kind of how they laid things out. I was impressed with their presentation.
