DayZ: Beta Imminent, Standalone Release Delayed

The DayZ team has posted a new blog on the official site. The post starts with stating the obvious: The standalone version of DayZ that was originally scheduled to be released at the end of 2012, has not yet been released. Instead, a limited closed beta is scheduled to begin "imminently".
Put simply, DayZ Standalone isn’t here because we had the chance to go from making a game that was just the mod improved slightly, packaged simply, and sold - to actually redeveloping the engine and making the game the way we all dreamed it could be. This blew any initial plans we had dictated to pieces.

i have very mixed feelings.
excited: this could be like Dayz with no bugs, more features, more enterable buildings, more buildable things, fixed characters on servers, maybe even bigger servers =gamegasm
worried: this is pretty much the same thing as Dayz, but watered down, with minor tweeks, a couple of fluff features and a new price tag of 50$=pissed off.
i hope....i hope Dean "Rocket" Hall stayed true to his original vision....
I just hope they make the UI more friendly... because what I remember (3 months ago) it is very clumsy and makes me want to rage on my keyboard.
Good luck though. Actually I wish good luck on both DayZ and WarZ. I think they both have potential.
I was shocked to read - down with WarZ comments lol
