Is this the big announcement?
Yup.
“Must I undertake to prove that the slave is a man? That point is conceded already. Nobody doubts it. How should I look today, in the presence of you, dividing, and subdividing a discourse, to show that men have a natural right to freedom? To do so, would be to make myself ridiculous, and to offer an insult to your understanding.” - Paul Gilroy
Amazing! Wishing you guys all the success.
Make Blizzard shiver. ;)

Does this seem insignificant to you? There is a thread on this exact issue of server tech that has garnered over 7000 views which highlights one of the major points of skepticism surrounding this game: server tech. This should eliminate that argument for any reasonable person and instill a lot more confidence in the game which translates to more money and more players. And quite frankly a really good chance the game will actually be made!

I went from being concerned about how a big scale war was going to run on the server. Coming from another game recently where you could visually see slower combat when approaching the 50 player mark in a "small area" so the server could keep up. And this game was promising a LOT more.
Hearing your going to be working with Improbable is exciting but also makes me slightly nervous, because this is new technology, but seem right for a game that will be genre defining to push for something that could change MMORPGs forever.
I'm sold inc 350 monies.
A lot of people were curious how such a small team was going to build/run such a massive MMO. While this Isn't very exciting for most of the player base, it is very big news for the support of the game. i guess a rough example would be of a store. If the back end is a mess the front end (the part the Users see/interact with) can't function as intended. They're building a solid foundation so the rest of the house can operate efficiently and orderly.
I love this teams philosophy of not reinventing the wheel and instead focusing their resources on being creative and intuitive on things that will make this game immersion and unique.
Couldn't be happier to see this. Swarm AI and related tech is going to change everything... and I'm delighted to see a game company at the front of this particular charge. ;)
Well done, CoE and Improbable.... though you may have to change your name, Improbable... perhaps to Spatiality; where Spatial OS gives you the foundation to make truly global scale products a reality. (Just send me a T-Shirt if you use this. Heh.)

Wow very interesting guys! I like to see start ups work together to make something even better! You could help each other to the top. However the risk of 2 start ups helping each other, is that one might out grow the other.
Anyways: Congratulations!
Great news :) Now let me talk to my lady again... I need to convince someone here.

For those of us who already have confidence in the game and in the developers, this "big" announcement was kind of a let down.
My list of concerns if officially empty now :)
Money well spent.
I was already sold on the Ideas behind this game...this is still a huge boost to making this become a reality much quicker than than I could have expected. I thought Dec 2017 was very ambitious...and I think more testing time might be needed still, but i no longer worry about Dec 2017 becoming Dec 2020. Congrats SBS and Improbable...may your partnership be the start of something amazing!
