It is ridiculous to wait 10 years. Frankly, it has caused me to lose interest and focus on active campaigns, like I said already. Ones that don't fail to deliver, like ASW, BP, FoW, Storm Front, etc. Looks like I was right when I said that I'm sure I'm not alone in my feeling. Many people who were waiting for BWO have probably either left the community by now or simply don't care about it anymore. Eventually almost everyone will just move on. then all that work would have amounted to nothing. At least release it before 2012 just to be safe incase it really is the end We never know for sure.
Why would one need to have continuous active interest in the campaign in the first place? I'm certainly very interested in playing it myself, but that doesn't mean I have to think about it on a daily, or even monthly, basis. When people post in here, I'll read them. When the team provides an update, I'll read that too. And when the campaign finally does get released, I'll eagerly play it. I don't think there's much else required beyond that.
