They didnt give much info at all. And from what the guy said in the 1up blog, the animations he did see were choppy. Im wondering if this game is even close to beta yet. One of the announcers did say that the pics they were showing was pre alpha.

Yep, pre-alpha. I know it has been talked about by the developers that it will have a 2009 release, just not sure when.
my guess and it is only a guess is it will release sometime in Q3/Q4 of 2010 with a Closed beta somewhere in mid to late 2009
Take that to the bank , maybe even 1q 11

We can only HOPE that it doesn't come out soon. The last thing we need is another star wars mmo rushed and released way too soon like SWG was, heh.
exactly. As eager as I am to play, I really hope they take their time with this one, and release a quality, polished product.
I remember back in 1999, folks kept asking me if I was stockpiling food. I always answered, "No, I'm stockpiling ammo and making a list of people who are stockpiling food"
My thing is, if it takes that long to finish, then maybe this isnt the original MMO that bioware was working on since 2006....
Q1 2011.
Depends on scope and tech.
I'll play it in pay beta mode (SOE / Funcom style)...
Soon the better because there is no MMO worthy of my pay right now I am stuck playing BF2142 every day.
I am used to the
pain..
I would really like them to take their time to get it right.
You think right... it was just announced and all... but who knows. I think 2009 is the earliest.
The writing staff has been working for two years so far...but of course writing is only one of the four major parts of the game that Bioware has been talking about...so who knows...speculation at this point is based purely upon what one man has said and our own experiences with MMO launch timetables...We can only hope that they have a quality finished product for us as soon as possible
Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
I will say the Fall of 2010, but I am guessing like the rest of you.
That gives them exactly 2 years from this time... Since they already started the project 2 years ago as stated in their interview.
mid to late 2009 means mid to late 2010
dont lie to me
Just when you think you have all the answers, I change the questions.
Its so coming out December of 2008. They announced it so it has to be soon.
I don't see why not. If memory serves me right UO, AC and EQ had over 5 year development periods and they those games were successful. In my opinion it's the yammering and instant gratification crys of gamers today that aid in causing, again in my opinion, the rash of...hmm...crap?...games that have come out recently. It also hurts innovation in my opinion because the studios then don't have the time to try out new things and give them proper testing time.
Heh, I think I just talked myself into be pro anti-official game forums for games, at least until after launch. I mean, if the suits can't read littl-tommy impatient's ranting on the forums of "if they don't put this game out now it is gonna fail!!!11!!!1!!!" then maybe they'd get off the backs of the developers about hurrying a game to market.
If I only had 1% of Bill Gates' net worth (which at 57 Billion would put me at 570 Million) I'd do nothing but make games. I could afford to hire staff and pay them at top part of the scale for what they make in their field. I would have to listen to share holders because it's all my money. The main 2 key stipulations I'd have would be that the team took at least 5+ years to make it and that all around play would have to be at a very high quality level.

My guess is end of 2010... I would like to see it before, but i doubt that...
