Technically not true.

Then, in the
last news about the Heraldry patch:
On top of this, the internal tests are drawing to a close for our MMO; our alpha testers are on standby to get involved in the closed beta of the MMO commencing the beginning of April (they were the original MMO alpha testers back in 2014 - you can recognise them by their gold usernames on our site forum) - stay tuned for information!
So its pretty clear that the MMO test start time had been delayed from the end of March to the beginning of April. Only the Heraldry is supposed to come this week:
We’re expecting the heraldry patch to drop early next week - expect lots of balancing and gameplay revamping in preparation for the upcoming MMO
Now, since its mid-week and still no patch, I think it's fairly safe to conclude that they are working on some things that is preventing it from going GA.
Given the stink that gets raised every time someone can't connect or has some other issue, who can blame them?
