March would be too late IMO as by then there would be many fatigued players who want to not unlock the same certs and just pay money for the guns. The release date seems good as it is right before holidays when gamers typically have a lot more free time. If it didnt launch then we'd see a player drop during this time. Instead I think we'll see a big increase.

There are a few critical things to fix that I believe can be done by 11/20. The rest...is after. Continents take time and will be ongoing (keynote confirmed 3 more). Balance will be ongoing forever. If they waited til it was perfect it would never ship.

So the real question I would ask is - what do you think is ship critical that you fear wont be ready by 11/20?
What im worried about is the new continent, but we will wait and see and hopefully no new problems come out. The other thing that worries me is the fact that they dont have a really good warpgate system yet and we might be stuck with the terminals at launch. I know they haven't said it officially but purrfectstorm may have hinted at it last night on Friday ops when she was talking to TRG.
