Starting to sound like a June or July release.
I'm saying... July 17th. It speaks to me.
Spoiler: show
I hope they change the once a month BWE. I'm clinging with hope on their following statement: The schedule is subject to change and will be confirmed at a later date.
That would be very odd to have only 3 days out of the month for beta testing. I hope they change it to every other week. Personally I see anywhere from 2 to 4 BWE's... but that would mean 2 to 4 months of testing (unless they change the schedule). And that would mean anywhere from a June or July release at the earliest.
O:
Have a strong feeling their beta weekends are gonna be basically what warhammer did. pure promotional and just for stress testing
haven't they said as much? I remember them saying people don't want a beta they want a demo of a finished game, or something to that effect.
I hope their beta is a little more successful than warhammer though. That was a bug fest.
It's pretty much true, the majority of the people I see wanting to beta test just want in to get an early peek at the games.
WHY ARE THEY TORTURING MEEEEEE
Maybe they think if they make us squirm that we'll all rush out and buy the CE. /lolnope
More than likely NCsoft wants to see where Blizzard plans on dropping MoP. They definitely have a planned schedule going forward, but the information that comes out of Blizzard in regards to MoP next week will most definitely determine where they are going to drop GW2s release. I dont think they care about SecretWorld or Tera... Id love to have seen them drop the game on GW's anniversary, but a mid June release would be a lot better than August.
MoP will drop in November to January.
So, on one hand I want the book/art prints (art books is usually what convinces me to buy CE's). On the other hand, I'm not sure I want to pay $150 for it........ guess I have till the 10th of next month to decide, but $100 I wouldn't hesitate, but $150, that not so sure about. Knowing me I'll end up paying it anyway, I do love my art from those CE boxes.
Its an MMO account, you are not paying for the software you are paying for the right to use the service. So you can install it on as many PCs as you wish. You will only have the access to play on your single account.
If you truly believe that Blizzard is this stupid, I have a bridge to sell you. I still believe August is the latest we will see MoP. Which is months later than it should be. NC and Arena.net are going to be looking to see where MoP lands and stay as far away as they can. While Blizzard can not afford to do the same.
I honestly don't think they care about wow subs since GW2 money just comes from sales. I think if they hype enough and they get enough box sales it really wont matter what Blizzard does. People will get both if they are interested, since only one requires subs. WOW and GW2 really are not competing in that sense.
Yea, GW is in its own league I think, since it's only B2P.
They won't be competing from a subscription point of view, but from a genre and time perspective, they will.
Arena net doesn't care about MoP. Can guarantee it.
