Originally posted by elvenangel Ahhh, so they weren't referring to the U.S 2nd quarter? Is there anything out there that confirms this? This whole time I figuried games release dates posted on MMORPG were based on the United States Calendar.. |

You can either agree with me or be wrong! |
I thought they pretty much stated they were *not* talking about fiscal quarters |

Originally posted by Pheace Thats what I though to but we're 2 to 3 months from a supposed June release if we went by the calander quarters and there's No official release date, no official information on collector's edition, and even Gamestop has moved the Date to the Fiscal 2nd Quarter of September. Its just some common sense and logic. If I'm wrong I'm wrong and I'll gladly be wrong if it means getting my hands on the game. But I honestly think if it was going to be a Calander Release of June we'd have a date and collector's edition information. Its highly illogical for a game to release in June at this point without atleast the collector's edition information for release & pre order. |

I'\ll easily admit it doesn't seem like and of what we know it would probably even be foolish to release within Q2 but that doesn't make me change their own words to something that would seem more fitting.
Yes they'll probably delay it.. yet again, either that or they'll release too early (from what I can tell). They still said it wasn't a fiscal quarter they were talking about as far as I can remember. Them not hitting it doesn't change that :) |

One thing WoW did right was the low machine requirements and yet the art was great. I don't like WoW for a lot of reaons but they did that right. If Warhammer is doing the same thing then that is the right thing to do. I prefer less than optimum graphics if that means the game play is as smooth as WoWs. Pretty is nice untill you are so lagged that you have trouble playing. Talk to Vanguard. |

The links I have bookmarked for this topic have been taken down, but Mark Jacob's himself said the game was set for a Calendar Q2 2008 release. I believe several others have also stated the same.
EA/Mythic has pushed back the launch date for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (WAR) from Q1 2008 to Q2 2008. EA CEO John Riccitiello: "...[Mythic’s] Mark [Jacobs] came forward and said that it would affect quality if he held the March date. We made the decision with the big investment we’ve got behind it and frankly the talent and inspiration of the team to invest behind quality. We gave them a little bit more time, a little bit more money and we think we’re going to have a little bit more of a hit on our hands. So… simple. So, you’re safe Mark."
March would be a Q1 release date, and June is the Q2. This goes on, so on and so forth. |

I dont care what that old article says. Its March. Q2's Calender blah blah whatever ends in June. So we have all of March, April, May, then Part of June. So unless in the next week or two they put an official release date down and finally start Selling the Collector's Edition for Pre Order its not going to happen. BTW I don't see them saying Fiscal or Calender so it really doesn't disprove and I'm not saying its FAQ I'm just going on common sense having been playing games for nearly 20+ years now. |

2 1/2 weeks old is too old of an article for you? Feb 21, 2008: www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/showthread.php Folks, Yeah, that site has it all wrong: 1) Our release date is currently unchanged and is still part of EA's planning for 2008. 2) Our release date hasn't been Q1 for quite a long time. As our CEO said in a previous earnings call, our date was moved to Q1 Fiscal Year 2008, not Q1 Calendar Year. EA, like most companies, operates on a fiscal year not a calendar year. So, in our case, FY Q1 = CY Q2. This is not the first time someone has confused CY and FY. As long-time members of this forum know, we've been looking at CY Q2 2008 for quite a while. 3) Whoever the spokesperson was (we have no idea who they talked to), didn't have a clue. Heck, even if we changed the release date, it would still have to be on EA's SKU planning schedule even if it was one year from now. The only way the WAR would be removed from the schedule is if we thought the game was in such trouble we would have to put it into turnaround or that the release date was so far away so it didn't make sense for it to be in there. Neither which is true and frankly, not even close to being true. So, I'm rather dubious about the source as well as the article. So, that's the scoop. Much ado about nothing as usual. We're still working on WAR and things move along nicely. As I've said before, we'll change the release date if/when we feel it's necessary to make a great game but as of now, it hasn't been changed. Mark The link is working again now, while it wasn't 10 minutes ago.
