Just to start a discussion/ poll about the Release Date of Pirates of the Burning Sea.
As the title says, when do you think is the release date of PotBS?

I myself think that the release date will be Februari 2005. They are planning the beta real soon now, they promissed it before december. Still I think we have to be a little patient and wait until the beginning cold months of 2005.
Please let me know what your opinion is, and why you think it will be in month x.
YAR!
I can't wait for it to come out. I think it would be fun to ride around on a ship and yell "YAR!" and everyone passing by. hehe
Ah man, I just reread that and it's pretty sad that just doing that is fun to me lol
This will be a interesting niche game. I am guessing spring of 2005.
Actually of all the new niche games coming out this is the one I want to see suicide the most. There just does not seem to be a very large fan base for it so far though
When EVE came out it didn't have a very large following. But now it has a fairly good sized one. I guess some of the subscriber growth can be contributed to Earth and Beyond, but it still has grown in popluarity since its launch from word of mouth.
Hopefully PotBS will have the same growth in popularity that EVE had.

POBS isn't looking for a massive userbase. They intend to start small and grow over time

Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
I play counterstrike: source, yet this is the game I've been looking forward to for a long time. People that play counterstrike are individuals too you know.
i think q3

It should be thrown with great force"
Personally I am less and less sure this game will ever come out. If it does I am guessing late 2005 to early 2006 at the earliest...

Yeah, I doubt it will come out. I have been looking for a good pirate MMORPG to come out but with all these high rated MMO's coming out it will have a hard time keeping up. Hopfully it comes out second half of 2005.
The new official release date is after the beta testing that will occour this fall!

We could release it tomorrow. And it would suck. Or we can release it when it's done, and it will not suck. Personally, I'm in favor of the 'not suck' plan. Maybe your take is different.
This game looks good, but I don't see Beta happening until late 2005 or early 2006....with a release date of late 2006.
I know I will look silly if they release it before then, but perhaps not as silly as the people who though beta would be Q1 2005.
They are taking their sweet time developing this game. This either means it will be kick a$$ when released, or that the devs are lazy and incompetent and will never get it done. Currently I think it is the kick a$$ scenario.
Depends on how long they need to beta test it. My guess would be around the end of 2005.
It strikes me as odd that some people would post in a forum about this game when it is very clear that they do not actually pay attention to anything relating to the actual development of the game. They didn't rush it out the door buggy and unfinished, and people start assuming that means it will never get done. If you actually follow the game's development, it has been continuous, steady progress. What has delayed it has not been a lack of work, it has been an increase in work to make changes that will make a promising game even better, changes that posters on their forums indicated they wanted. The graphics weren't AAA quality, so they revamped them. People didn't think they would be able to 'connect' with a ship as an avatar, so they introduced player avatars, and the entire subsystems that made them have a purpose.
Everyone complains when an MMO is released early. And yet some people still need to complain when a game takes the time to address player concerns and triees to create an improved product.
Most of the people spouting that crap don't have a clue about the current state of the game; nor have they been following it's development, as much as they claim they do.
There are enough people looking forward to this game and who realize what it takes to produce it.
Lol Isildur. Let's go with the "not suck plan," eh?
People are loud, demanding, critical, and fickle. Luckily these devs, like Izzy, are good at blocking out the noise, and content to build a good game at their own pace.

If it releases next spring, great! Next summer, that's ok too. But it WILL release, and it WILL be a good game. If you've been following the game in recent months, or even in the past few weeks, you already know that.
