    I dunno, but when that news item on the main page hit that reads "Enter Mount Hotenow in Neverwinter" I thought it said "Enter Mount Hotenow in NOVEMBER" and had a moment of serious sadface.

    But I think it will be sooner than that, fortunately.

    The reason companies don’t like to announce dates is they are not positive they can make them. If a show stopper bug surfaces before launch that would delay the release, the user base goes into a huge QQ session.

    I am hoping for an early April release. Please don’t make me QQ. ;)

    Something is dreadfully wrong with the forums; when I edited this post, it deleted text that was CLEARLY visible in both the editor and in a preview.

    Twice.

    It's in beta. A week after the last beta weekend, there will be a two-week open beta. A week after that, the game will launch.

    There is much that people want to know

    for example
    1 Will it be possible to form a party/group of NPC's to back you up (like STO's bridge officers) instead of working with "real" people

    2 What are the Actual facts of the classes

    3 can we have a list of the weapon options (universally)

    4 when does it launch

    but like most of these things they would rather not reveal ANY hard facts

    Better to have no date, then have a date and miss that deadline. I've seen such things happen on other unmentioned games and the hail of <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> that ensued was a lot of nasty reading on the forums.

    Yes indeed.

    Which is why you won't hear a release date until after closed beta.

    If I had to guess, I'd say they were aiming for Memorial Day weekend, or first week of June.

    Oh, fine! Not only does this game have no death penalty, but now you actually want death to grant you an advantage in the form of special knowledge!?!?!?!?

    What about the 2 weeks full closed beta???? they still got a lot of keys to implement in the beta and not sure they will all get in during the beta weekends, meaning either more beta weekends on a few weeks closed beta before open beta

    I don't want a 2 weeks of closed beta before launch since all the chars in closed beta are going poof before the launch. It would be a bad thing indeed for the game to do that.

    Instead, if you are going to have general access to the game, release it early with knowledge that there are still things being worked on etc, but that all characters and items obtained in the game will be kept. That allows you to have those who have head starts to get in even earlier etc (All with the same knowledge that there may be bugs and changes in the future as well.

    To many open betas ruin a game for a large portion of players since they play far into it, and then they don't have the patience/drive to replay what they already have done.

    Even the 3 weekends is enough to possibly loose some players because of that (even with a cap of 30 in them).

    I have seen so many betas in other games where players/posters start off all happy and excited by the game, but by the end of the beta they are burnt out and don't like it anymore (and often negative on the forums as well).

    It's a free to play game, so I suggest launching the game initially even if the top end isn't done yet, just letting players keep there chars and items and play through the first 30 levels only etc (that seems to be pretty flushed out). That would keep NWO in peoples thoughts etc, and also give more time for finishing up whatever is still being worked on.

    Considering there will be a month between the last beta and the next, there's no need for more beta weekends. My prediction is based on Cryptic's beta processes with CO and STO.

    I look at it this way, we have a month between this beta and the next (March 8), then only 20 days or so till the one after that (March 28th I think), so it's speeding up....and no future betas have been planned yet.

    That leads me to think that it's quite possible the March 28th beta is the last one, and launch will be set for sometime in April (with Heroes getting in 5 days earlier).

    I don't think it will be RIGHT after the last beta though (at least 2 weeks) so say a minimum of April 20th (15th for Heroes).

    My guesstimate based on all that is launch date will be between April 20th and 30th.

    I wouldn't hold your breath for an April release. Just because they have not announced any further beta events does not mean they are not going to happen. Not to mention having a 24/7 beta running for more than a weekend or an open beta. They have tons of content to test and they cannot get a reliable amount of bug reports only allowing for 6 days of testing over 2 months with level caps.

    If we could test all the content in 6 days this game will fail miserably as a long term MMO.

    I predict May or June for actual "release". I see open beta before that though.
