With only a bit over 4 months left in 2010 and they can't even give us a release date on the next update other than a vague "Fall" ...?
What gives?
Just curious what you all think? Seem like October is out of the question at this point?

Sept. 14th.
Beta is done, for all intents and purposes. Yet another stress test tonight, beta 4 launched Monday, with a whole three reported additions/fixes/ect in the patch notes. With a few un-reported fixes/additions/ect that didn't make the patch notes.
I'm just saying, with the NDA down focused feedback basically done and the patches getting smaller and smaller with beta phases getting shorter and shorter, with "Wont make it in for launch" now being spoke of more and more, with the pressure to launch, I'm thinking September.
Sept 13/14th is my guess that will probably be wrong but not by much. :D

I could be wrong, but I'm guessing LordJim is referring to "convenience" and "advantage". ;)Quote:

Fall this year starts Sept 22.
There are also other reasons that would make Sept 22nd a good day for a launch.Quote:

Moria was NO where near ready for release when they released it...IMHO, anyway.Quote:

But, that being said, I am going to go with Grampaz on this one and say early September, if not sooner.
Please dont launh it in sept. 22, is my wifes birthday and I wont be able to play a lot :(...Quote:

Who is going! LETS DO THIS!
It's either "Fall" "Fallerish" or "More Fallerish (tm)'
Bugged is the industry standard for all game launches and has become acceptable to most. But oh, the crying that will ensue on that day!Quote:

With account downgrade bugs, store bugs, item stats adjustments needed, and many other issues that still need to be fixed I highly doubt F2P will launch any time soon unless Turbine chooses money over quality, and releases it with lots of issues.
That settles it. Tomorrow it is! *hide*Quote:
