sorry it didnt link to the thread.

 

hear is a paste

 

=====================================

 

If you had visited http://cargobay.starwars.com/webapps/cargobay/browse/52/20-10 a little over an hour ago, you would have seen SWG on that page with a release date of June 25th listed. Note that this was on the starwars.com site. But now when you go to that site you see this message:

"All this excitement has overrun the circuits of some starwars.com systems. If you don't mind, we're taking them down for maintenance." - C-3PO

 

Very interesting I think. Don't you agree?

Yeah, they're getting ready to sack the idiot who posted a release date that was too aggressive :)

If that is indeed the case, then I agree, this is very interesting indeed.

No I didn't. I didn't think the page would get removed. I'm looking to see if I have a cached copy of the page, but I'm not really sure how that stuff works.

I just saw a post on the IGN SWG forums that said 24th.

Of course, nobody knows for sure... But please, God, let it be true.

 

This also would fit with Q's mysterious "let lots of people into beta, including forum posters" selection - NDA drops, lets in all the forum posters under 18, and about a month from NDA drop we have a release...

If you are using internet explorer. Try a "Tools", "Internet Options", "Settings", "View Files"

 

Or also a "Ctrl-H" for a history.

At least in my part of the world a game is usually released on a thursday or a friday, so SWG is probably not going to be released in the middle or start of the week.

if this is all true, don't you think it's a little late in the game to be adding another round of beta testers, as Q said he would do today? who is going to want to beta test for a week? (it's going to be a week to ten days of testing, a week of printing CDs, and then a week to ship them, and that'll take us to the middle of June

Do you not remember the first release date for this game ? April 15 2003 . That was a on a Tuesday just like June 24 2003 .

They don't have to print any more cd's , all they have to do is ship them, so yes a release date of the 24th sounds about right. I hope so anyway.

Maybe they are going to lift the NDA and make the Beta available for download?

That would coincide with about a month of open play testing, and really stressing the servers. And then...we could.........uh owe.

 

Sorry, I just woke up :-o

I think that Sony will want as many Beta testers as possible right up to release. Server stability is going to be a big concern before launch, and you need need need lots of testers for that!

Sinyen,

Maybe because the april date was bogus, the game couldnt be released then.=) I work for a game distributor and lets take EA for example, they have all of their games´s street date on a thursday. Maybe its different in your part of the world but here its either thursday...or friday.

They will beta test all the way up to launch.

Planetside beta ended this weekend with the launch happening today. They will probably do the same for SWG. From here on out, beta will mainly be for server load testing and balancing. That is all back-end programming and not client stuff so they can print CD's and get ready to ship while still continue programming the server-side stuff.

It seems that all that is left is tweaking the game systems and such, so a late June release date is possible. We do know that the devs had an internal release date and a couple of weeks ago Q said they were still on target for that date. I'm sure we will get some info soon. I know they were doing a character wipe, not sure if that happend or not yet.

Sinyen, I'd assume that if they are still in beta they wouldn't have printed ANY CD's yet. Have you heard otherwise? Unless they are going to correct the problems they have with patches instead of fix them for release, but then, that's why I thought they had all the pushbacks.

Nearly all video games are shipped on a Tuesday and in-stores on a Wednesday. Don't believe me? Look at http://www.ebgames.com in the "Coming Soon" tab, right side of the screen. Notice how there's a bunch of games set for release on 5/27? That's right, a Tuesday for shipping!

I don't know where you people got Thursday/Friday, but it's not true.

Anyone pick up a copy of the new GameInsider mag, along with the SWG review from E3 there is a release given for June 25th. Too many people are coming up with this date for it to mean absolutely nothing.

i think you mean they are going to make it available to everyone. sorry to burst your bubble, but they have stated that this will not happen. however, cheer up cuz a dev said another round of beta invites are goin out this week!

 

*when Vogel used the phrase "open beta" he only meant the time when the NDA would be lifted.

I wonder if that is true. I hope so. I have been waiting for 2 years for this game. :swear: and I would like to have it by summers start, because i am moving into my computer room as well as getting a small refridgerator before I go to college in here, so the only thing I will need to go out for is bathroom and some food.

Today is Tuesday.

Today PlanetSide was released.

PlanetSide is a Sony game.

This happened in the part of the world the USA is in.

This is the same part of the world SWG will be released by the same company.

 

The conclusion I will leave up to you.

oOo

The link to me says that it will be still released on the 24th...

wow on an official SW site....the release date =P

OR IT COULD BE AN ELABORATE RUSE, on the devs part ^^

is that the correct date of the star wars anniversary?

 

EDIT -

JK Luke,

NDA will most likely open when open beta is announced...

haha well this shivered my timbers.
