Planetside 2 Will Launch Prior to October 18th.

From the "Rewards" section, it says that (in legal jargon) you will receive the rewards upon the launch of the game.

One of the rewards is Tickets to SOE LIVE.

Therefore, according to the fine print, in order for the rewards to be worthwhile for consideration of said competition; the game must launch prior to October 18th.

Here's to hoping

If little wishful thinking there methinks.

Ofc it could happen like that, but perhaps not.

Not to be a pessimist, but it doesnt actually mean its going to launch then. Just that event is then and you better invite 50 friends before then.

Don't they run SOE live on a annual basis?

If none of their terms change, it would be in violation of their agreement to not give a prize for something that is relevant. Of course, they do allow their terms and conditions to be changed at any time; however, It is more than reasonable to assume they would not place a prize up unless they were relatively certain it would be there for proper consideration.

It also specifies this years SOE Live.

Good catch, that means beta is sooner than we might have thought.

Lawyers leak the Planetside 2 launch date. News at '11

Vashyo · 2012-06-04, 05:45 PM

depends, can they release 2 more continents in 4 months. I'd expect those might take months, though dunno if they've allready started on amerish.

Hamma said he saw some of it, yeah.

And I'd hope it doesn't take 2 months per continent.

That would be great, every other aspect in the game atleast looks "done" as in its in the game, just needs balancing and bug fixing. (unless I'm forgetting something)

It takes a lot longer than two months to handcraft 64 sq. kilometers of game world.

I don't think it works like that. Lawyers always give themselves a loophole. But a man can always dream.

Rumblepit · 2012-06-04, 05:52 PM

i heard they were shooting for 12/12/12 release date, but they also said they would be in no hurry to get out of beta. id say your looking at early 2013

You could potentially complete every single mission on the app for tier 3 free tickets without even setting foot in game. Depends on what the 3 secret missions are.
