Release Date

in Everquest II

I was just checking out the Game List, and it says that Everquest II will be released 12/1/03. I just checked out Gamespot.com and EBGames.com and they both have the release date set for 3/14/04. The only game they show being released on 12/1/03 is Lords of Everquest, a RTS game that with the EQ story. Does anyone else know about this? Is this an error on MMORPG.com or Gamespot and EBGames.com? This would be quite a big setback if it really is March (especially for all you Horizons bashers :::^b:: )

    woohoo, an entire year for original everquest to liveimage

    Its still slated for March 2004.

  • Iceman12321Iceman12321 Member Posts: 992
    bummer...you think it'll stay with March of next year??

  • MistiMisti Member Posts: 724

    I think it might make the March date they are saying, but then again it could very possibly be delayed as much as 6 months again who knows.  Never take release dates too close to heart.  image

    As for EQ1, it will continue to live for years after EQ2 is out.  In fact I think its highly likely that EQ1 will probably still have a larger audiance then EQ2 for at least the first half a year that its out.

    I hope your predictions are right because I still want to do lots of other things to do in that game...I'm still looking for a newer and more improved version of the game, EQ II though...Will it still be costing the same, about 12 bucks??

    My guess is around June 2004 or later. 99% of the time these things dont come out on time. eq2 will be no exception to this.

    Ya most games tend to do that, yet sometimes it is for the better.  You want to make the game the best it can be when you release it.

    Sony will go all the way with this for sure. The release date will definitly be late Q3, Q4, or 2005.

    Since the game has already been delayed once for 6 months, I highly doubt they delay it further then June of next year.  Games that go on a continual delay cycle rarely perform well when they finally are released.

  • SerienSerien Member CommonPosts: 8,460

    well you never konw

    i mean beta is on average...what 6 months?

    it hasnt even started yet!

    Well, if they don't start public beta by the beginning of January I have little doubt the game will be delayed again.  Just my opinion of course, but I try to keep up on the game by reading the various EQ2 sites daily while bored at work.  image

    Ok, well the game has been delayed once again though it has not be formally announced.  They are giving out a special beta account to people who are current Everquest subscribers who also buy and register Lords of Everquest.  This special beta, which is to occur before an open beta, is "tentatively scheduled for spring 2004".

    Looks like mid to late summer or later for release now.  Maybe they will use the extra time to actually hire some artists to work on the game.  image

  • SerienSerien Member CommonPosts: 8,460

    woah woah back up there for a second....

    did i hear you say "open beta"???????????

    Yes.  They said "if" there is an open beta it would be after the special beta for people who have current EQ accounts AND buy and register Lords of Everquest.  Since the special beta is semi scheduled for spring 2004 that means an open beta if it happens would be after that.  Early summer maybe?

  • SerienSerien Member CommonPosts: 8,460

    ahh..

    so what you are impleieng( or however it's spelled ) is that people like me cant get inimage

    ....ahh hell, ill get it once it comes out, next to no bugsimage

    Well I'm not trying to imply anything actually.  This is what they have basically said.

    1. The first beta people will be picked from current Legends subscribers.

    2. When that stage of beta is complete people who have current EQ accounts in good standing AND  buy and register Lords of Everquest on the SoE site will be invited to a special beta after the Legends beta.  This special beta is tentativly scheduled for spring 2004.

    3. If there is an open beta it will occur after these special beta programs.

    This just seems to indicate a much later release date then the current one which is already a 6 month delay from the original.

    The details are all on www.EQii.com if you want to peek.
