All the articles are in Korean in case any of you Korean speakers/readers are interested.
Conclusions
- B&S and GW2 will come out pretty close together, probably just a couple months apart at most.
- If they are planning to construct a timeline according to a showcase they will do in a few days,
they probably are almost done with initial development of both games.
- GW2 wasn't such a big hit in Korea so naturally service will start in the US and EU first.
- After the showcase and considering the time to put in a few minor adjustments, B&S will probably start CBT
around Christmas, and GW2 will follow closely, probably February or March next year or even sooner.
- There is no feasible reason to believe GW2 will start CBT in 2012
My personal opinion is that NC Soft needs a jump start so it will not delay the CBT of either of the games.
They probably would start CBT sooner and maybe go through more beta testing than
try to complete it as much as possible before opening it up to the public because
they don't have much room to wait. If they want momentum they will try to release both games ASAP
Thank you for this. This pretty much confirms that everyones guess at a late spring early summer release was very accurate and gives us a good idea when to expect the game.
Comments
Basically the original post is based on extremely sloppy translation.
btw I have lived 12 years in Korea and the States,
I have recieved high levels of education in both countries and
recently worked for 2 years in the military in a translation/interpretation
occupation so I am pretty confident in my translation skills
