We wanted to set a high bar quality wise for Early Access. Happy with where we ended even if it took longer. So what.

We've speculated on why it's taken so long, and Smed saying that they wanted to set the quality bar high lends our theory some credence. As a reminder, SOE staff have repeatedly stated that Early Access would cost $20. Here's hoping EA begins before the end of the year!
