Warhammer Alliance have gotten their hands on the October State of the Game for Warhammer Online, and it contains some news that you may have suspected, but didn't want to believe would come true. Yes, the game has been pushed back, and is now expected in the second quarter of 2008. Okay, so that's really not too bad if we're being honest. If EA Mythic want to take a little extra time to make sure that the game lives up to people's enormous expectations, then that's fine with us. Mark Jacobs, VP and general manager of EA Mythic, said that they could either release the game with fewer than planned features, or push back the release and complete development to their satisfaction.
There's also confirmation in the State of the Game that the beta will be reinstated in December, with new content for testers to experience. They are hoping to introduce more people to the test too, so if you haven't signed up yet -- go now!

Personally, I say that they should take their time. They've got the deep pockets of the gaming behemoth EA behind them, and it's honestly one of the most anticipated games in the queue. The launch has GREAT promise, and it's theirs to screw up. I know I plan on checking it out.

This is only a good thing to me, considering I agree that get 'er done when she is done approach. I'm just glad to hear that there isn't any rushing or anything like that. Plus yet another chance for me to get into the beta! Looking forward to what Mythic will be producing and hopefully I will have time to make another Dwarven Burgdorn for their game!

Its amazing how long they are taking. I do hope they get it done by early 2008. I know they want to get it all right but its driving me nuts waiting.

ok that was odd... It lagged on me so I thought it was my connection.
Izzy consider how long WoW took, it was announced in 2000 and didn't come out to 2004. Really to churn a game in 3 years is a good time limit. Also Mythic has only been working on the game for 2 years or so and while I know it is killer to wait, the longer the better I would say.
