source UO U.HAll




i really really tried, i did, but i cannot play UO in 2d. i was just going to close my accounts until KR was released, but a fried was trying to talk me out of it saying that it'll be released soon enough that i should just keep them open...

here's my question to anyone in a position to answer it; is the ETA for KR in weeks or months? just... tentatively. if there's even a chance that KR will be released in just a couple of weeks i'll leave my account open. i really don't think its unreasonable to ask for some sort of an ETA when the game is currently rendered unplayable for some people.

i'll take it that no response means months.

thanks for reading, if nothing else.

I'd guess that Open Beta will start in 3 -4 weeks. 8 12 weeks until General Release. That is of course assuming that EA doesn't rollback the last two patches and get the whole idea back into QA until it's somewhat closer to being ready for public comsumption.

The closest we've come to giving a date is "Our current target rather pushes the definition of "spring" - but not by much. And that’s only our official release date - beta will definitely be in "large-scale" mode well before that"

I must have missed it, but did he even answer to the actual question?

I don't think a time line was mentioned at all. Hmmmmm

He's like a politician.

Still no timeline.

Can't blame them for not saying anything. KR already has a tentative date of spring. How many post have been made that it should already be out (even though spring is not over yet). It is a no win post if they put "any" time in .

Vepl

Agree, but by avoiding the question or ignoring it only creates more problems.

Looks like ea is using the best offence is a good defense tatic in terms of releasing a release date

Not saying squat?

My silly fault guys and gals.I addedd some thing to one of my posts and some how got the wrong response posted here.I have amended my original post at the top.

Ive addedd a few more comments from players from the same source as above.


Darkscribe responded to Japanese concerns and mentioned Open Beta beginning next month; that's where I'm getting my intial timeline from. The following 8 - 12 weeks is a PURE guesstimate based on previous experience with Beta programs.

Jeremy seems to think the 2nd part of the timeline will be much shorter. I have my doubts, but many discrepencies in projected timelines can be chalked up to differing levels of expectation.

Just out of curiousity... being in the Northern hemisphere and considering different ways of measuring seasons summer starts in June, with the latest timeframe being the time of the Solstice... which this year is June 21st. Can we except KR before the 21st of June? Because anytime after that is no longer "pushing" the definition of spring. It is then summer.

Very good point there

The first day of Summer is June 21st.

Most people don't think of June = Spring, so therefore probably the plan is the first or second week of June.
