Dengar Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Still read the forums from time to time, but tbh, a LOT of UK players who were salivating at the mouth for SWG will now not bother with it. Im afraid that the constant release date changes may well be the death of this game in the EU before it is ever released, as most EU players that i know have ways of obtaining copies from the US, and will play on the US servers being unwilling to wait another 5 months for its supposed Euro release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 The game is not dead in Europe just because there is no EU release for quite a while. To compare, DAoC had a huge european following long before there was an european release, and my local store even had the european release on its shelf, since so many ordered it. Just because SOE is daft and don't understand how many copies they could sell if they released it worldwide at the same time doesn't mean there won't be many european gamers playing it in April! Oh, and eventually, the european servers were full too, once they started. Just wait and see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimnir Frost Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 I'm Italian so I'm an European Player, still I'll start on April playing on USA servers. I ordered the game and I'll have to wait 'til I receive it from the shop, so I surely will not start playing from the very beginning but a few days after :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-able Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 For a Start No one is Shore that the Relese date in the EU is Sept the 5th Yet, have they made a anouncment that i missed ? Or is this the Guess that http://www.Amazon.Co.uk are making ? The release date being difrent in US is a pain in the ass belive me i think so. <Shakes fist at Yankeys> But this game is not dead in the EU all ready becuse of it, i know loads of people that are looking forward to this game coming out in the UK wether it be later or not Thease people are just not Fanatical about it like some others < Points at me To go out and spend what ever it takes to get the game ASAP..... I am ever paying for over night shipping from the US to the UK They need to make a anouncment about the EU date in my Humble Opion but the game is nay way dead mate..... I bet you still get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smirny Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 one thing i can say is unless you've seen the date officially announced somewhere else, DO NOT trust online retailers... i work for a games publisher and we regularly check online stores that are running pre-orders for our titles and they, for some very unknown reason, seem to changes the release dates as and when they feel like it... it quite annoying really :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketPack Jack Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I have heard that the game might be released in the UK and Europe (sorry, haven't got the link) on 30th April. I too have also heard about the possible w8 till September but this will not deter me from getting the game, i'll just have to w8 that little bit longer.

setsuko Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 ....or, you could buy it from abroad! As long as dates are rumours, it's impossible to plan by them. With the amount of "really truthful leaked info" pointing at different dates, it's hard not to compare with Nostradamus. Sure, one or two of them will eventually be true, but the impossibly small percentage that will be true makes it dumb to trust any of them. Trust. Noone.

RocketPack Jack Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I can w8 for the UK release, cos i dont want to pay shipping charges to get it from the US (cos i'm a poor student). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
