That's true, but Cryptic is owned by Perfect World Entertainment (PWE), which I....think is USA based. It's like the company Perfect World proper does its western business through if I understand the structure.
Can anybody clarify that?
PWE files it's 10-Qs & 10-Ks following the fiscal calendar. Q2 = April-June.

Your kung-fu is strong.
Just on my experience with how things are developing (software-wise), I'd have to agree with the assessment of "April-June", with the possibility of another beta weekend/open beta prior to launch to catch anything troubling before going live. I'm leaning more toward end of May/beginning of June (ruling out publisher input, of course).
Crafting, for example, takes a bit of fine tuning to get it to the "rough" state, and while I cannot say from what I saw in beta of crafting, I can say the UI is not 100% finished compared to the store or other features (rough textures, etc.). I won't except a beautiful crafting system at launch, it'll probably be a bit sparse, but it will be a good framework to build off of.
Again, you'd have to talk to an alpha tester with a strong background in game development to get a decent assessment of where things stand, what the devs are addressing, and what they'll leave to after launch. Or a developer.

How Evil are Succubus in Dungeons Dragons lore? Very evil they might try to seduce and even have sex with you, but they will try to kill you also... Can a bargain be done with a Demon? Maybe, but they can not be trusted and are very Evil. They have lust for sex... but also blood and kill! Succubus are however intelligent and they are not stupid brutes ... but as I said evil.
You've got a very limited definition of evil. Artemis is "selfish evil", meaning he does things for his benefit and his interests and goals.
"Planar evil" as represented by demons far surpasses "human selfish evil". Leave the TV show out of this, because the succubi there are not planar; they are fey, basically a type of fairy, with ties to this earth. They've named the sub-types of Fey based off of monsters, but it's a totally different proposition than DnD demons.
"Demons" in Dnd are not just "evil spirits", but an actual race of creatures seeking the ultimate demise of all humankind. Their purpose is to consume the human (and elf and whichever else), subjugate them to their will, use them in their centuries-old machinations, and let the gutted corpses fall, letting the burnt, used cinder of Toril fuel their passions for cruelty and avarice. They actually have a good example of a succubi in the game, at the end of the Helm's Hold area (I won't go into spoilers).
They aren't that slinky cheating girl you knew in college (and secretly wanted) who was morally bankrupt, but was drama ridden and bad news, turning friends against each other out of spite. Those girls are Mr. Rogers compared to a succubi. Succubi actively seek to use you to forward their personal goals and power amongst their own kind, but ultimately will want your soul in bondage, your spirit broken before they snuff out your life.
The CEO also said they where gonna have a beta (and possibly a bw4) in a video recently, but we will see, at least the target of Q1 2013 can be forgotten, Q2 seems more likley now.
Seriously!? I mean WTF is wrong with the game that it would have to wait till q2, I only played to 30 in beta, and the only bug i seen was our cloaks falling through our bodies... If it doesnt release soon, i fear that the hype train will leave the station on this game, I was super excited about this game before i played it.. and now...well.. not so excited... i still want to play... but a founders/hero pack?? no way... not unless they start pumping out information regarding release/open beta soon. I sure hope the devs realize that "some people" loose interest if not fed information, GW2 did this, in my opinion they announced GW2 WAY!! TO EARLY!! by the time it released, I no longer had no interest in the game, and i still dont.. if i wouldnt have won a free copy of the game, i wouldnt even own it. If your not going to annouce a release date or an open beta, AT LEAST! keep us informed about what is going on with the game... and "wallpapers" aint it!
The closer to summer, the less people will be online. Even mushrooms need some sun
True. The July month is the worst month to release. I do not know how it is in America, but generally July and towards end of july and maybe first week of August are the warmest time in Europe. July is the worst month of release and end of June and first week of August are usually also very warm periods in Europe.

There's evil... and then there's Evil.
I said Lost Girl is good, but not very good TV series because I think TV show is not that evil. However when Succubus sometimes get more Evil by lust to kill even in that series it is good and she looks very good!
There are Demons and there are other Demons. The worst of Demons want to end the World etc. other Demons want more power much most Demons are simple Evil and like to do evil things.
However Succubus want lust also for other things...like sex with good looking human. Like a spider first lust sex(if they think subject is enough handsome otherwise simple lure and tease) and then kill. Stop say you know so much more about evil lol.
You really do not know much about Artemis. Artemis does NOT kill only because he must or need for his assassin mission. He also kill sometimes because he simple want to kill at least in first books with him. Yes I still get what you mean. Most Demons are more evil then Artemis. True however there are demons and other demons and some demons like Succubus actually might want sex with good looking humans etc.
Succubus: is a very sexy looking female Demon. They look much more like sexy super models then Demons. Succubus video this is from Lost Girl a good(not very good) Succubus TV series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBorAzrfU18
Select 480 DPI in the above video, which should be good enough quality.

I said that I met a Succubs in this game. The Succubus did NOT try to kill me like most Demons immediately.The Succubus in that Foundry mission actually you could talk with her though I never said that you can trust a Demon. They also moan like you would fu*k them. Very sexy.
Some Demons are stupid that simple rush and kill that is all they do. Other Demons might even want to talk and are also smart and Succubus Demons are those Demons that might be interested to talk sometimes and they are fairly smart. Succubus Demons do not either belong to the most evil end of the world type demons though yeah they are very evil and can not be trusted usually.

Some of y'all have already seen this article from Seeking Alpha. It confirms that NW will be released Q2, which is sometime between April through June.
Although that may not be hopeful to some, it does give us a little relief that we will not be waiting until late summer, fall, or later for NW to launch.
Yeah because a publisher or whatever PWE is to Cryptic knows exactly when it will be released and they know all the details of the development stage. Unless it comes from Cryptic Devs then any dates are utter hogwash.
Not to mention you don't know if it's fiscal or calendar year quarters.
