Capt Wedge Posted May 20, 2003 Author Share Posted May 20, 2003 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? ===================================== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt Wedge Posted May 20, 2003 Author Share Posted May 20, 2003 Here is a copy of the whole thread as it stands now. ========================================= 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.

Raylin Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:34 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. baberg Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:35 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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... /me salivates TenderHeart Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:35 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will confirm that it had a date listed. It was June 24th though, not the 25th. Raylin Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:36 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bah, close enough. Yeevle Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:36 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yep, I saw it too, 24th. Interesting... Rayduhz Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:37 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hmmmm vvvvvery interesting CaptJonas Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:37 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Woohoo June 24th, everyone go out and preorder now!! LoL, the release date for SWG has been more fluid than whats sitting in my grandpa's depends. Although it would be nice wouldnt it?

Dark-Or Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:40 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. D Yeevle Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:41 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was there, we saw it when this person posted it at the time: [urlhttp://boards.station.sony.com/ubb/starwars/Forum3/HTML/125179.html]interesting[/url] Hegmon2002 Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:42 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One month guys one month.

Cryzitul Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:44 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Nookieke Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:44 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, time to warn my girlfriend that she'll have a long, lonely summer this year Sinyen Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:44 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dark-Or 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 . Sinyen Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:46 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cryzitul 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. CaptJonas Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:46 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Raylin Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:47 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ah, sorry folks. I didn't realize someone else had already posted about this. Elberette Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:49 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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! Dark-Or Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:49 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. D TenderHeart Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:49 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. Kisedd Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:52 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. Findangle Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:53 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- today is tuesday and planetside (according to my station news letter) hits the streets today.. if that is infact true then it kinda throws the thursday thing off a little.. Dark-Or Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:58 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well im in Europe so maybe its different here. But very rarely are games released in the beginning of the week. D Cryzitul Station Member posted 05-20-2003 10:59 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. Dark-Or Station Member posted 05-20-2003 11:00 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well im in Europe so maybe its different over here. But very rarely are games released at the beginning of the week. D baberg Station Member posted 05-20-2003 11:01 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. Goudhamer Station Member posted 05-20-2003 11:03 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aaaaaargh... don't give us a new hope that could be destroyed like a Death Star. I'm gonna cross my fingers, pray a bit, don't walk under a ladder, touch a black cat... touching wood ! Was close... TimolEisley Station Member posted 05-20-2003 11:07 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- damnit I'll still be here in Panama, if that were true, even if I were at home, my only highbandwidth connection is at school, which I won't be back at until August 1 Lenardo Station Member posted 05-20-2003 11:10 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- june 24th... not gonna happen. or if it does enjoy a new AO release. ZubmiChipar Station Member posted 05-20-2003 11:10 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. padawan999 Station Member posted 05-20-2003 11:34 AM user search report post -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maybe they are going to lift the NDA and make the Beta available for download? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Dr. Zaius Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 I wonder if that is true. I hope so.

Capt Wedge Posted May 21, 2003 Author Share Posted May 21, 2003 plus the the Lucas Arts press release section is being updated. this could be good news ppl.

TheMaestro Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 They said more Beta approvals sent out Weds? Could coincide with lifting of NDA....but you honestly can never know when it deals with SWG.

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. Myrddin 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?
