So yeah, another year of waiting, but we'll get a closed beta anyhow..:

OMG... Thx, now I maybe can buy a better computer until it comes.

Oh well... We waited long before this, and another year prolly wouldn't hurt.

But I damn well hope they got it polished so hard it's mirrored.

damkel · Nov 10, 2009, 07:23 AM

Maybe don't take this as set in stone. Look at the audience, they're talking to investors. It's best to overestimate the time/cost of a project rather than be accurate. Kinda of like in-built redundancy or a fail safe in case something happens which does delay release. That way investors don't feel soured if dividends are late.

Hell no, what kind of nightmare is this?

:x

What do you mean by that? :P
Im sorry but Im Swedish...

And nice view for the avatar you've got!

Wow, this is unreal. I hope the new game is as fun as the first one was, then it will be worth it. I'm just flabbergasted that they took a popular game and walked away from it and the community for years and years. GW2 is something that should have been going on in the background while GW1 continued to keep pumping out expansions and campaigns. Four-five years of stagnation is not good. Hopefully Anet doesnt go bankrupt before GW2 is released.

2011? 2010 Q4 plix.

dakka dakka · Nov 10, 2009, 08:02 AM

Bad news? No GW2 until 2011

Good News? Beta is sometime in 2010, kind of what I expected anyways :P

amitai · Nov 10, 2009, 08:05 AM

if Anet don't want to deal with massive sucide organized by guru's players infront of their building they should get it out in 2010

Jura · Nov 10, 2009, 08:06 AM

This is great news for me. I can get a better computer and continue to work on my titles. Just hope Anet can keep GW alive and fresh till then.

Dutchsmurf · Nov 10, 2009, 08:13 AM

This was already discussed in the other thread 4 days ago tho, so not really news anymore.

Dutch Sunshine · Nov 10, 2009, 08:18 AM

I did check that other topic, and I've nowhere seen that anybody stated a cite to this news, only speculation. (Ok well scrap that, but it's still news)
Also, as you can notice, alot of people actually dont know this yet, so I do think it is still "News".

Etta · Nov 10, 2009, 08:23 AM

Sooo, we have a year to play the game before the end of the world in 2012.

Since I was the one who originally brought it up.... But I guess people only read thread titles

Anyway, in the other thread it was already discussed and the general conclusion was that is says nothing. It can mean that the game isn't coming out in 2010. It can also mean NCsoft is playing it safe, not wanting to disappoint their investors later. It can also mean NCsoft has as much information as we do and is just guessing too.

Dutchsmurf and Dutch Sunshine = Double Dutch?!

Own Age Myname · Nov 10, 2009, 08:38 AM

Dang. This game better be one damn good game.

Cheers to release Jan 1 1011 ^^

Wait, isnt that kind of a saying in english? "double dutch"?

Segraine · Nov 10, 2009, 08:45 AM

I expect this is just something to keep investors from panic. Investors are often a skittish lot with the least sign of "loss" (ie not hitting a projection even if profit is still made) will run for the next money bubble.

I expect to see it in 2010 with 2011 being the buffer. After all, the first motto in design and programming when quoting deadlines, "Take the time you know it can be done and double it. Then take that time and double that just to be safe. It is better to deliver before a deadline than after."

Apocalyptic · Nov 10, 2009, 08:54 AM

It probably is more than a year away actually. Do not expect a Jan 1 2011 release. It will probably be a spring release like the first GW. Late april/May release. That's a year and a half folks!

Personally, I'm still banking on a late 2010 release as investors will not be pleased with the news of no product releases in 2010.

My prediction: 2010 release with a near finished game that is missing a few advertised features.
