Launch date?

Anyone know the current guess-timate for the final launch?  Not looking for opinions as to how much longer they should polish this or that, just curious if anyone knows what the current plan is.

 

Thanks!

I think it is listed on steam as sept 16th. That is about the best guess you will find right now.

Launch date?

Archeage is already out. It's B2P w/ full wipe before going F2P. 

As far as when it goes F2P, I'm not aware of a set-in-stone date. I suppose we'll find after sales slow down a bit.

The NA version is in closed beta, it's not really B2P as it's all going to be wiped... I'm looking for the actual launch date.

He's knows what your looking for, he's just being an idiot.  As far as the release date, there hasn't been anything official yet. But likely in the next fewmonths.

There is no launch date other than Trion are on target to release the full game before the end of the year. The September date that some people are mentioning is meaningless. It's simply a place holder used by Steam to cover themselves for the fact that there is no launch date yet. Trion have stated officially that the only launch date that will count is the one they release themselves and they haven't done that yet.

CBT4 has already been announced, which will include the first version with French and German localisation. My guess is there will be further closed betas after that, as they have also said that they are discussing changes to the Labor Point system and other things such as crafting resource drop rates with XL Games. I would imagine they're going to want to test them. Finally, there will probably be an open beta before launch.

Nobody can give you a definite date. I doubt even anyone at Trion could yet.

Common speculation on the official forums is CB4 early Sept with open beta mid-late Sept and launch early/mid October.

This feels right because I imagine they won't want a release date too close to WoD.

Thanks for the awesome answers... I guess I just need to be patient.  I made the mistake of taking part in the current closed beta and bought a founder's pack and now I have no desire to log back into ESO!
