I'm not at all disappointed with this news. Both Champions Online and Star Trek Online were rushed out long before they were in a fit state for release. Take as much time as you need and just do it right this time.
That's my main concern. Cryptic completely failed to learn the lessons from Champions Online and made the exact same mistakes with STO so I really don't expect much of an improvement with NW. I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised but I'm not getting my hopes up.
