Just look at windows, sure it's "finished" but really, software is always a work in progress. Look at all the security, etc. updates!

Also, betting on what won't be there, anticipating or looking for what will be wrong with it when it comes out, leaves me to wonder why people who think like that play at all. I mean, if you aren't excited it's almost done and ready, trust the company to deliver what they promised, then why are you here? Why are you commenting negatively about what you don't know? (I am certain someone with alpha access wouldn't be talking trash about GuildWars!) I mean, you might not have noticed but this is a Fan site!

Guild Wars will be completed with all the content it was intended to have. That which it lacks we probably won't notice (it would probably be part of the "end-game" content). A.net wouldn't have released a definate release date if they didn't think they could get it done in time.

*Snerk* Where I- Ah Say, Where I come from that's what "Fan" means! Knowing stuff the creators never knew, theorizing and second guessing to the Nth degree, violently disagreeing with one another 'til the cows come home... all it needs is size 6 costumes on size 22 bodies, autograph tables and obscure cartoons to the wee hours and it's just like home.

(Yes, you should be afraid. O_O)

Dave III I didn't realize that support was argument, assumption (you call theorizing) and dropping inuendo that is in no way, shape, or form "knowing stuff the creators never knew," was a form of support. However to your credit I have known these ways you suggested of defining a fan to be identical to incompetence, prison populations, and people who physically abuse others, especially alcoholics, and a plethora of others who assume a binary opposition lineal precession of irrational thought processes to facilitate their right of dilusional behaviour. So I stand perfectly corrected and it would appear you represent the GuildWars community entire, even me

Heck, they didn't announce a release date until the game was releasable. If their backs had been against the wall, they could have released the game last month. There would have been bugs and balance issues, but no show-stoppers, nor anything that couldn't be fixed on the fly. I'm sure they'll release on time because at this point, they can release anytime.

Well seeing that they started advertising the release date on the magazines (they had the back cover of the latest CGW - pretty cool I might add), I am pretty sure that they would make the deadline. Whether all the small details are going to make the cut however, is a different story.

Ok, I was trying to be funny through exaggeration and parody. Perhaps a nonsensical, even useless post, but I thought it might elicit a laugh, being (what I thought to be) an obvious example of self mockery.

I apologize for the obvious insult I have inflicted upon you. Thank you for bringing my carelessness to my attention, I shall endeavor to refrain from such gross mis-statements in the future.

Alright you two. This place is for friendlyness not battle. If you really want to get at eachothers throats I suggest taking it to PvP

Sin · Mar 31, 2005, 01:16 AM // 01:16

Dave, my apologies. It is good to meet you, and glad for your sense of humour

Dave III · Mar 31, 2005, 01:22 AM // 01:22

Not a problem. I'm a firm believer in self-mockery, I never run short of material that way. ^_^

I believe Guild Wars will be released on time for preorders and store buyers, but not with all the little dinky features that only one person on Earth cares about.

Even so, those features that missed out on the release date will all be added right after release.

Scizor · Mar 31, 2005, 01:55 AM // 01:55

I really don't understand why this particular topic has had this many replies. Its april 28th its not gonna change. Get over it.

I find it fascinating that Hell is supposed to freeze on April 28th too!
