The game is currently on schedule for December of 2006, closed beta has begun, and an open beta will be sometime in between now and then. As for the mistaken release dates, gaming sites will make up crap so people will preorder from them. Untill a few months ago, a lot of sites were saying it would come last spring.

Amen!
I personally can't stand "playing" a game and waiting for another six months for the game to iron out a lot of major bugs.
Best thing to do, as with any MMO, is take the closest estimated release date that they've publicly announced (if any) and add 6 months to it.
Most of the time, although their certainly exists some exception, add another 30 to 60 days for the EU release.
There's lots of reason for the calling an early release date, extra data work, PR, hype creation, more work time but it happens about 90% of the time, so don't stress out to much about it an hope to be playing it by next summer.

It's been delayed to march/may 2007,news of today
And yeah,we are so keen on working that we import sweedes to work for us
Rats a pushed forward release date kinda stinks, but hopefully this means they are commited to releasing a completed game and not a barely workable half measure to keep on schedule. Good Job FUNCOM! rather have a later release than bugfest

If it's been pushed until March/May, I wouldn't expect it out now until at least Sept./Oct. and maybe even the Xmas season.
As I said before, this has become the norm in all development companies, any release date can basically be counted on as complete BS until the day before. Even then...

Don't think so,let's look on the bright side,their last game "Dreamfall" had only one delay.And atleast they got more time making it bugfree

Ofcourse they focus on the biggest marked,even if it's a Nowegian company.Just look at Dreamfall,it was released a month earlier in Usa then europe.
