Oh, and a card game? Interesting, I thought that was SOE's thing. Oh well.
Hehe, three leaks in the past week and three separate dates (23, 18, 16). You have to wonder if WAR is releasing dodgy information to them to keep things secret or if these companies are just pulling dates out of their collective arses in order to get some link love from all the other community sites out there.
ReplyDeleteWow... that is awful detailed. I partly think if it was not true, Mythic would have flat out denied it by now. MJ has been coming out and denying other rumors, but not this one.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I hope the offer for open beta isn't just limited to Gamespot. And yes, the information seem way too detailed to be a false.
ReplyDeleteSeptember 18 it seem to be.
Now they have changed their page to take away the specific dates/times.
ReplyDeleteShenanigans!
The Internet never forgets though!
ReplyDelete*sigh*
ReplyDeleteThis feels like AoC all over again. I hate that they feel the need to level cap open beta that is only 9 days long.
I wonder if you'll have to pay for the early access like AoC?
I really hope this doesn't turn out like AoC, but these details are eeriely similar.
To be honest, I thought the old WFB/40K licensed CCGs were out of print years ago. Easy enough to throw a few artists at some tie-in cards, I suppose.
