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.![]()

The store is still loaded with issues... I would greatly prefer to see the implementation later rather than sooner if it helps get these issues resolved.
Did you mean "soon" and "soonerish"? Here ya go:

Generally what will happen is that it will be released and then there will be a patch very shortly thereafter to clean up any major issues. That's basically what happened with Moria...it was released with tons of bugs and they patched it like two weeks after it came out or something like that. Moria was NO where near ready for release when they released it...IMHO, anyway.
I was, however, quite surprised that they lifted the NDA so early into this beta. I am guessing that's because so much information had been leaked out already. In the past they generally lifted the NDA just a week or two before release, if that.
But, that being said, I am going to go with Grampaz on this one and say early September, if not sooner.
here is a good date,..
Who is going! LETS DO THIS!
It's either "Fall" "Fallerish" or "More Fallerish (tm)'

Look at it this way - you can be patching / updating on the 22nd, take your wife out for the GREATEST birthday ever, get major brownie points, and then spend Sept 23rd playing games all day with no repercussions...unless you are still celebrating from the night before
There's something to be said about letting the massive crush of issues on Day 1 pass...

Yeah is true, but I am in Nimrodel, so we dont have that much trouble cause there isnt thaty much peple as Lanroval or Brandiwyne, and all my friends will be ahead of me, including my brother...
I will have a backup plan is the update comes sept 22, but I am very grateful for the iea![]()
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.
