Cataclysm HINT

[Fursphere]

if Star Wars is exciting and has any playability, it will win my subscriptions, boxing or not. I am not really too pumped about the next xpac, and as the game gets older, it just becomes more and more competitive, which makes it feel too much like a job to keep up (5k GS for Ony10PST comes to mind) and that's not fun.

With a new game and unseen content, we really reset the slate and level the playing field. I am excited to see what they do for the SWuniverse, but I am not actually keeping my hopes up, in the case we get another SWG Flop.

And if you multibox it:

I read that as 11 Jan 2010 and wondered what everyone was on about.

Then I remembered the US is backasswards and it all makes sense.

Haha I did the same.

I saw the date and had the same feeling... and was just about to head over to play.com (Cataclysm) and check them out...

They are guestimating around Sept...

Blizzard pretty much said at this years Blizzcon they are releasing two games in 2010. Starcraft2 first and Cataclysm second. While SC2 was way further along than it was in 2008, I still have yet to see the SC2 beta, so who knows if the order will shift or not. I concur with the Oct / Nov release. I think Blizzard has enough money and people working on it.

I think I am going to bum rush and gear as many teams as I can in T9, high level crafted, and the ICC 5 man stuff. Then put my accounts on hold until a month or two prior to Cataclysm to generate gold and figure out which teams will get to 85 first.

I may end up canceling my extra accounts for a few months if they are really going to wait until Nov.

I can't see myself staying amused for 6+ months with nothing new to look forward too.

Yep, if its much past middle of summer my accounts will be cancelled until the xpac. I'm still betting midsummer for the launch, though.

oh and lol at your Starwars MMO =)

Novemeber 2010, otherwise we would have gotten more info and dates.

+ they are releasing the new icecrown dungeon in parts so they can fill up months and months of time.

Even released in parts it will maybe increase the life of the dungeon by 6 weeks. Hardly long enough to keep us until November without losing some subs.

The key is when the beta goes up. They don't need the test servers for anything past ICC bug fixes, so I would expect the beta to go up Jan/Feb, the usual 3 months of testing and several waves of invite keys getting sent out, and a summer release. One of the Devs at Blizzcon said that by next year's Blizzcon, everyone will be sick of Goblin Rogues, and that's long before November.

However, it is entirely possible that they bit off more than they can handle, and it will be delayed, and they may have some content to pull out to give everyone something to do - it would be VERY cool if they did The Old Kingdom, but it would pull devs from the expansion. (The Isle, as it was said, was always planned, they just had to change the release dates - there was a massive amount of work in that patch, no way they pulled that out at the last moment).

I do not buy a year before we see new content. They're busy at work, no doubt, and while there's no word of any alpha going on, I'm betting on Jan/Feb for the beta - they'll have a nice long stretch with no holidays to get in the way to crank out the code and art and files.

GameStop did the same thing for Wrath, and for BC. They're just getting free money from the interest on your pre-order. They do NOT have inside info, they're guessing, like someone else said, and they're just making room in their system for it. You'll know when Cata is coming, when the first wave of beta keys go out - until then, it's all speculation.

SWG pre cock up was amazing totally best mmorpg i ever played, when it got ruined i moved to wow and havnt changed since.

i will keep my eye on this new one aswell but only if it has the original feel to it. i want my TKM/carbineer in action.....

mind poison FTW!

old days...

but yes i have to agree with your view on things

Bringing back fond memories of my Trando TKM/Ranger and my MonCal Master Doc I had back on Ahazi. I sort of multiboxed them at times, though I didn't understand it was multiboxing back then.

3.75 hour long buffs FTW!

If he put the Star Wars Kid in the movies instead of Jar Jar Binks it might have rescued it. The Anakin factor might still have been too much.
