A post on MarvelHeroes.com from David Brevik explains the difficulties Gazillion Entertainment has encountered in executing the early access launch Marvel Heroes, their MMORPG starring Marvel Comics characters (thanks Strategy Informer). This early access is for those who coughed up $199.00 for The Ultimate Pack from the game's founder's program, so on some level this is pretty serious business. The setback is caused by "some serious issues that we felt we could not launch the game with" and that as of yesterday the entire team had been chained to their desks for 96 straight hours, saying: "We will not leave this studio until you can play the game. We hope this will be in a matter of hours." Here's the full post:

Today is a big day for everyone on the Marvel Heroes team! We’re in the process of getting ready to put the game live, but it’s going slower than we hoped.

Late last week, we found some serious issues that we felt we could not launch the game with. The entire Marvel Heroes team has been working for the last 96 hours straight to get the game ready. This process is nearly complete and ask for your patience.

We always want to find these types of potential errors, so we’re glad we had the opportunity to fix them in advance of launch.

We will not leave this studio until you can play the game. We hope this will be in a matter of hours.

For those who purchased Ultimate Packs, we’re working to get the game up and running as soon as possible. We’ll issue updates here as we get them.

We appreciate your understanding,
