After reading this, I almost want to go over to the official forums and start a "We

SmokeJumper at PSU" thread.

how can someone say "Planetside is vaporware"????

The devs have gone to great length to show us info about the game, jsut cuz they want to be careful about dates dosnt mean this project will fail. If anything, it shows that they are trying to get stuff done as fast as possible =)

3 CHEERS FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE BEHIND PLANETSIDE!!!

THEY ROCK!!!

as a side note though:
I must admit though there was a sweet online game that did become vaperware that no one thought was going to be... anyone remember Battletech 3025? The best Mechwarrior game ever? Project was cancled in the final beta stages lol.... that is why i dont like EA.... But the difference was that that game was alwayse on the line of being cut by EA, and there was no support for the fans, the devs were nonexistant, EA was cutting projects right and left, and there was not the organized community that ther is for this game.... etc, etc, etc... MUCH different than PS!! LONG LIVE PS!!!!

So 3 days from gold to release?

Ummmm no. :P

If they don't hit gold before more or less the 20th we can forget about Q1 release, i very much doubt they can start production and ship it out in 1 week.

Exactly what I've been saying. Here is my theory:

Friday Feb 14 beta emails sent out. CD's arrive on the Monday the 17th at the earliest. Closed beta until Friday March 7. That is 3 weeks. We then have the open beta CD's sent out. They arrive Monday the 10th. We then have open beta for 10 days or so. Then on Friday 21 the devs go gold. The next week the game goes into production, and is shipped on the last day of the Quarter: Monday, March 31'st. So we recieve it in April, but the game is technically still completed in the Q1.

In addition, during that week of production, beta goes on. If any major bugs are caught, a patch is released on opening day. Not unusual for a MMO. Beta ends Friday the 28'th, and the servers are reset and reopened the following week.

Won't be out till october....

it can't come out in april i'll be at Air Force basic training

....... ok, ok ,ok..... in all seriousness i don't think it will be out in march..... i would look more toward may or june..... but that is just me being pesimistic. I'm probably wrong

Open Beta will go on during production and on opening day you will have to download a patch if any bugs are found in the open beta.

Heh, didn't se the things on SWG. So now no matter what I have 0% chance of buying SWG. Whatever they were thinking it was obivously from the same guy who liked Jar Jar Binks. BTW, next week we'll find out all characters will be Gungan and can't fight with anything but stupid balls and they never fighjt anyway as there is no PVP and the monsters aren't being released.
