in Everquest II
"Two newly released screenshots...."
"Friends and family members of employees might be starting in-house beta testing sometime in the future..."
"Confirmation that the game will release sometime in 2004...2005?..."
"Because we want this game to be the best ever, we will not rush it..."
"Alan Greenspan has no predictions on when Everquest II will be coming out, but he thinks the interest rate will be raised at least three or four times before then..."
C'mon, Sony. Get this game out. Patch in the higher level content if that's still lacking.

Don't see why your complaining about it comming out this year. If they pushed it back any longer this game would evolve to a higher lvl of intellegence and conqure the world. WoW fans don't want that....do they?

I don't think Everquest II will come out before the end of this year. I predict March or April of 2005. It's a huge game and SOE knows it, I don't blame them for working on it as long as it takes. I would have preferred if they held onto Star Wars Galaxies for longer to touch up on all of th bugs and broken pieces of the game.
From what I have read, EQ2 is already in pretty good shape, but there is so much content, the game is going to be so huge, it just takes time to build it. I think it sucks that we have to wait, but in the end we'll be getting a better, more complete game, hopefully.
World of Warcraft is moving along the same lines. The game, from what I've heard, is coming along and is getting polished as it goes.
Both games will definitely go through a long beta period, but not as long as usual, I think, because more time and attention seems to be taken in building it right the first time around. There will always be bugs and balance issues, but Blizzard and SOE are refining the process of creating a mmorpg, or so it seems to me . . .
We won't know for sure until the final versions are out and we are playing . . . put them both on your Christmas list, because you won't see either of them before that.

I could care less if EQ2 came out this year since I'm not going to be playing it but the fact that it isn't even in active beta yet (whereas WoW has been for many months now and will most likely be done by November or December) proves that if SOE doesn't want another bugfest a la SWG, they're gonna wait until maybe Spring of 2005 for it to go gold.
But if SOE is still in that crazy mindset of releasing something before it's finished, then yes... EQ2 WILL come out before years end...

Maybe you should go ask the same question to the EQ2 trolls over in the WoW boards...
And besides, we're all entitled to our own opinions. I'm voicing them here.

Lo there do I see my father..
Lo there do i see my brothers and my sisters...
Lo there do i see the line of my people back to the beginning....
Lo they do call to me, they bid me take place among them in the Halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live forever....
At least one could hope that they got better at estimating release time as the games go by. I think i will go insanely (well, more so anyway) if i see 1 more delay....
Who am i kidding,....
But, seriously, it would be nice if a proper estimate could come out. I know that it is often nessessary to adjust the release date as it approaches BUT there is a huge difference in delaying a few weeks and delaying 3-4 months when the "supposed" release date is only a couple of weeks away.
Well, time will tell i guess...
