Planetside 2 Will Launch Prior to October 18th.

[Nobel]

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

[ringring]

If little wishful thinking there methinks.

Ofc it could happen like that, but perhaps not.

[SpcFarlen]

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.

[Eyeklops]

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

[Nobel]

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]

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.

[Raymac]

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

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)

[Rumblepit]

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

[NCLynx]

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.

While the logic is safe and sound, sorry guys, not gonna happen.

You will not see Planetside 2 within 2012. Why? Let me tell you:


First of all, beta wont come this month. I hope we get a date at E3 now, but it wont be starting this month. They still have stuff to fix up and get ready. They simply arent quite there yet.

Then, from all i have heard so far from Higby, T, Smed and other people at SOE, they dont even have a release date yet. They release when beta is done, and they have no way of knowing when beta is done until the game is actually deep within beta. The game needs to go into open beta when it is ready, and no moment sooner. They dont know when it will be ready, and they have no reason to rush things, as SOE got the cash to keep PS2 in beta for quite a while, and they also know that rushing things does more damage than good.


If we are extremly lucky, then the game goes live in december. But i dont see that coming, i see it early 2013.



btw, yes, SOe live is every year.
