I was told a potential release date.

Hey everyone! I am not crying wolf about this, nor am I saying that this statement is the final word on the matter, but i DID speak to my friend at GameStop today, and asked, as I always ask, if there is a release date for Planetside 2. Now, last week, there was still no release timeframe listed. Today, there was.

He said the timeframe was "end of Quarter Four 2011 to beginning of Quarter One 2012." So, December/January time.

Now, of course, the FIRST thing I asked him was "How reliable are those quoted times?" He's been working at that GameStop for about 4 years, and he says that they are very accurate, UNLESS the date is given by Blizzard (HA!) He says that those dates are NOT conjectural from GameStop, but are tentative quotes from the game's company itself. I further inquired as to how reliable the range of time should be, and he said that, given the "Q4 2011-Q1 2012" range, the latest the game would come out would be, like, March of 2012, and that's "if something goes wrong and sets them back."

While, again, I am not raising any alarms, this to me is very good news. It gives me a range of time about this game, and gives me a LOT of hope that I will be playing it before next spring.

Always happy to share new information.
