Anyone else think it is kind of odd that EA announced the delay of the launch date AFTER they announced the CE release and all that fancy goodness that comes with it?  I wish we could see just how popular the CE would have been had the DELAY not been disguised and in some cases invisible in CE hype!

Um.. I thought they were announced at the same time?

I recall the press release specifically stating they did not want to announce the CE before the delay?

I found about both at the same time...

They announced the content of the CE edition to diminish the bad reaction for the delay. Duh.

I ordered my CE at 9am EST... and see that WarCry did the interview about 11/2 hours later.  I'm just saying it would have been nice to know about the delay LONG before the release of CE... You think they didn't know they were going to DELAY it?  It's fine, make the game better, but be up front.  I think they need some cash flow to get this thing finished, that is the only reason they did a CE release 6 months or so before the launch.

That is bad finding on your part than. The truth is the delay was announced during the same time basically, but it was announced at the event before they announced the CE. Fan sites and the like obviously get more hits when you talk about an amazing CE first though. Mark Jacobs told people to wait to order it as well.

You can either agree with me or be wrong!

I'm also positive they announced the delay before the CE so no worries needed there ^^

They announced the delay the day before the CE hype.  Nice try at trolling.

Regardless, doesn't matter which was announced 1st!  ...and I doubt this had anything to do with AoC........I applaud Mythic for speaking up about whats going on and wanting to take as much time as needed to make sure WAR is complete unlike; ahem....Funcom; keeping everything in the dark and the only real news is from beta testers...

Whatever... I am just saying I think there is more to it.  I am excited just like the next guy, I just don't buy  into bullshit when I smell crap.  They are in business to make money END OF STORY. 

And you know they announced the delay the day before how?

Sorry for voicing my opinion in a public forum, thought I lived in a free country, guess I should rethink my idea of FREE!
