It is possible to have both battle space and world conflict at the same time. You just can't see till beta how exactly they will do it; so the narrow minded say that because this other game did it badly and released without adequate testing that JGE is gonna be exactly the same is no more true than saying we know the exact date of launch.

I want to have the choice to pick either or because it gives me somewhere to go when world conflict starts to wear on me. It also gives a more strategic battle.

DON'T TAKE MY BATTLE SPACE FROM ME!

Your wrong! JGE is way better. Better flight engine, better pvp, better market and better dev team. BP is another high end graphical game that falls short every where else. Looks are not everything!

IamMMO has a very good opinion there. How can you not look at your competition and not say oh crap they are doing that.... The BP Devs already said in interviews that JGE is a direct competitor/threat. So of course your going to try to 1up each other. because in the end since JGE and BP are twitch based space mmos is that features and content will win your monthly subscription.

And as is stands right now BP team have shown and revealed more in videos and interviews about their game than JGE team has.

Yes. ND team may be behind in development but you would be nieve to think that ND is not looking at BP and trying to 1up them. MMO's are a very competitive business now and only the strongest and feature rich products last and make $$.

I think its a great decision. However why do they all keep giving out target release dates? Bliz have this nailed so well imo, don't say shit until you know you can actually meet the dead line (xpacs excl).

 As pissed about a massive delay as I am, I think that they are making a good and informed decision. They would not willingly hold back the product unless it was really required to do so, after all, they are a business and businesses want to make money do they not.

In an age where game developers ever increasingly seem to throw things out in some of the worst states possible, the PC version of GTA IV for instance, it 's a breath of fresh air to hear a company thinking more about its community, end product and longevity, as opposed to the usual short sightedness and kerching of dollar signs in their eyes like some cartoon character.

If anything, this news gets me even more excited about the eventual final release. 

I guess the saying goes - "Good things come to those who wait..."

They should at least update the release date from 2nd quarter 2009 to something more realistic, like n/a. 

I dont really care how long it takes for dev's to release, I'd rather see a complete game than something released in the condition of AoC and the rest.
