I just hope this fills everyones high expectations.
Good luck to them!

Mythic: Cool we just need like 2 months and this awesome dungeon will be complete!
EA: Months?! Get it out now! We dont care if its not done, we gave you moneys now get it out NOW
Mythic: But its not done, people will get angry!?
EA: Out now!
