lets predict game release

[Mythicangel]

Going by the road map, if everything goes as plan. The beta starts in November 2012, roughly around the beginning to middle. The release should be no later than middle of January as the free trial is a month long and looks like that end in the middle of Feb. 2013. I personally think the game will be out by the end of the year.

late december or early january, anything more and it would be very dangerous, as they would start to lose MANY subscribers that loses trust in them ... again.

Well they've already said open beta begins in Jan 2013 so any date before then is just wishful thinking.

Yoshida also mentioned that the first closed beta for the Japan and International servers is scheduled fo go live at the close of September or early October, with closed beta 2 pinned for the Winter followed by an open beta in January 2013.

I'm going to say end of open beta in Feb. Release probably end of March. March 31st.

Where did they say this? the OB Starts in Jan 2013? that's news to me o.o.

but it would almost fit to their existing roadmap of 2011:



so its clear, that the release ist post-january (january or after)

i say feb/march ... march ^

I expect the first Closed Beta for the Japan and International servers to be held end September or early October, entering Closed Beta 2 this winter and Open Beta in January next year. We will be talking to Shanda Games about the China server, with features such as PvP, blocking 3rd party programs and localization, hence the China server will launch later.

"I expect" does not "Confirm" anything. Things are likely fall under: "May be subject to change"

If the beta is short, I expect a March 2013 release date. If the alpha & beta are long, then a June release date.
