The Wish Homepage has word that beta 2 of Mutable Realms' upcoming MMORPG is now slated to begin on January 1, 2005, rather than on December 1 as had been planned. Beta 2 is planned to run for a month. Here's word: "There are no specific problems that can be singled out as the reason for the delay. The core architecture of Wish is sound and stable. It is simply the sheer number of small issues that still need modification or testing that calls for this unfortunate delay."
