The Open Beta of the Diablo-like hack and slash MU Legend for Europe and North America has been postponed at the last moment. Instead of starting in September 2017, it will now begin in November. As a reason, developer Webzen states that they want to make it as good as possible. Good things take time.
Originally, the Open Beta for MU Legend was scheduled for September 2017 – that was announced as early as July.
Now September is approaching, and with it the Open Beta, at a rapid pace. Publisher Webzen needs to hit the brakes.
Mu Legend – Open Beta now November 2017
A press release states: Everything is put on hold. We need more time.
The new date for the Open Beta of Mu Legend is November 2017.
This is all the more frustrating because the “Open Beta” was supposed to be a soft launch. There would not have been a wipe afterward, and the game would have basically already launched in the West.
Better to take time than to rush
As an explanation, Webzen states that they need the time to process and incorporate player feedback from the Korean version. They want to rearrange some features and also address the balance again. This leads to a change in the roadmap and thus to the delay of 3 months.
They tell fans: “Guys, you have been waiting for so long. We now ask you to wait just three months longer.” They love the game and want to do everything to make the best out of it.
They prefer to take their time rather than rush it now and jeopardize the quality of MU Legend.
