They said the 3rd quarter which is July through September...I think...so the August date fits that claim.

Thats probably a pre-release cd with art work and a movie, or soemthing alongs those lines for those who preorder.

thats my guess

*waits for official statement*

Oh yeah it is a hell of allot cheaper too! lol $10 off.. I was hoping for at least 20 off. I was thinking 30 dolors. I guess that is what i get for thinking.

If Anet didn't say it, then it isn't official.

therangereminem · Apr 30, 2007, 04:37 AM // 04:37

galie gray has stated many times and anet has too that its 3rd quater of 2007 which is late july through mid september ... but have also said around holiday season 07 but which holiday and what does around mean to them ... but galie gray said 2 days ago 3rd quater and told us its around augest and thensmiled lol soo i would think this link would be correct

the reason i looked this up was the fact i saw a display stand in the store but it did not give a release date at all they got it in saterday i know peeps that work there and they metion them getting it in and they can start displaying it on monday.... but there was no date in there computers for release info... then i look on site tonight and saw that but i dont know

The price might be correct though, thinking how much the PvP only editions cost. $39.99 seems like the right price range. As for the date knowing EBgames they seem to get things close to where they need to be, at times (unless something gets pushed back). Of course the official statement has yet to be given from A-net, but given time I am sure that’s something we might see.

EB Games is notorious for stating dates that are little more than wishful thinking! BloodRayne for PC 1 year late! And every item I ever preordered came months after the date they listed. They list dates just to get you to fall for the hype so they can get your money looooong before you ever get what you ordered....also, if you put cash down on a $49 dollar game and the price goes up to $59 they won't honor the lower price....they are one of the worst businesses to buy anything from....they also cut their PC games down to one tiny rack and push console games...I plain ol' hate em!!! <-- just my experience, therefore just my opinion.

The price seems a little high, but sindex is right, the pvp only editions are that price too. Since this is mostly PVE its kind of the same thing i guess, what are the specs on the game again? Like whats being introduced, how many skills, heroes, and other things?

racerx2105 · Apr 30, 2007, 05:07 AM // 05:07

I'm thinking they plan to aim for a launch around Halloween. Even though its not considered a major holiday, Gaile ,on April 27th, threw out the quote that this Halloween was going to be extra special. But thats not really to be taken too much out of context.

wetsparks · Apr 30, 2007, 05:09 AM // 05:09

Dont trust the date since they dont even have a cover for the game. When you see a site that has the official cover art next to it then the date is most likely correct.

drago34 · Apr 30, 2007, 05:17 AM // 05:17

I have never had a problem with EB. I would wait until an official date is given before I pre-order, but thats just me...

The date above is only a targeted date of when GW:EN might be ready for release. Game stores gets these dates from the company but the date can always change if the company is not ready. We already know that the game is scheduled to be released by the 3rd quarter of the year which means anytime between july-sept of this year. We still have to wait for Anet's official word.

key word, Targeted. That is provided that everything happens seamlessly and ticks like well oiled German clockwork, and that tends to never happen. Expect it September.

Sadly so true. I seem to recall (although I can't find where) a certain ArenaNet representative claiming that Eye of the North should be out "before Christmas". I'm choosing to read that as "sometime in 2008". I find with this game, as much as I love it, it's best to adopt a "I'll believe it when I see it" policy...

Zaganher Deathbane · Apr 30, 2007, 09:23 AM // 09:23

Never trust those sites. Anet said around September I think, so we'll see

Ok then, perhaps what should be said is, if a date has not been announced on the Guildwars.com website, it's not official. That is the FIRST place the official date will appear for the masses to see.

Yep, they'll put it up on the site and then tell the other sites.
