I remember pre-release there was a lot of hype regarding the out of game app for the game.
What ever happen to that project?

The one where you could see your guildies/friends on the map by using an app on a iPad or phone? Dead as a Dodo.

From 2 years ago. Everyone remember the smartphone app
This project was delayed in favor of having the specific folks required to build it skill-set wise working on solidifying the core of the game. You’ll hear more about our ecosystem in the future, but we’re not actively working on this project, in favor of making sure the core game itself is as fun and rewarding as possible.
Edited to add: We’ll discuss what sort of projects we’re doing instead in more detail in the blog post later this week, and even in more detail as the Jan/Feb/March releases get closer.
It’s still delayed.

The core of that team rebuilt most of the commerce UI & backends in the two months before the game launched. The one piece that wasn’t changed? The part that took everything else down for the first two weeks. :-(
Getting things up & running again was really exciting, in an “oh god this is so much work” sort of way.
