Do you know what month it is?

I'll say yes, but it depends on how beta goes. If there are MAJOR problems in beta, in may take another week or so to release.

I don't think we'll see it before April. I'm hoping we do, but I wouldn't bet on it. I'll believe it when I see it, I guess.

I just don't see how you can beta any MMOxxx for a month or less and release. Maybe this is a totally new genre, but there are already some 'laws' in effect for releasing these types of games.

So I hope it's out by the end of the month, but I'm not holding my breath.

I hope it won't, because extended betas are a Good Thing�. A well-run extended beta allows for additional lag testing and bug testing. Heck, I'm of the opinion that once you're apparently done with testing an MMOG (I.E. everything works as it should) then you should just SIT on it for a few weeks and see if any extended play gremlins come out of the woodwork. My personal hope is for late April/early May.

They can go gold before the beta is finished....

If they go gold by March 14th, they can make March 31st release.

2-3 weeks of open beta is plenty too... March 14th.

there definately gonna pump it out into stores by the 31st...if there still problems they can always patch it up so there is no reason to delay it at all

[culkid]
