I was wondering if there was an official release date yet at amazon.com it says September 30th and EBgames says the 23 and I can't find any information on warhammer's website.

There hasn't been anything official from Mythic yet.  The dates from stores are just estimates.

I would say Mythic will release a date by the end of July or the start of August.  Everything seems to be running at full swing now what with all of the beta invites and all.

HAving an inside look at the game I would expect more like a late October release. It is true the game is in good shape but several things are missing that need addressed. However I can say this. The game is in better shape now then most games are at release AOC anyone.

So basicaly it is up in the air

Untill you hear it from Mythic it's up in the air.

He meant they would release the release date in july/august.

I'm curious as is everyone else but no one knows and won't until they actually tell us.  I've heard everything from this Fall to first quarter 2009....

My money is on it being based on WotLK's release date.  That's stiff competetion regardless of what fanbois on either side will tell you.  WAR is going to have to hit a good bit before or a good bit after to maximize subs, imo of course.

Exactly, if anything I am willing to bet that we will see WAR release perhaps a week before WotLK does.

Soon™!

I dont think a week would be good enough. Not really enough time to invest your self past the point of no return. If WotLK goes for jan/feb like TBC then WAR should hit this fall.

Hmm, I was close. . .

I believe that WAR will be ready for the X-Mass season.  The game should release no later than November 15th so people can buy the game as a X-Mass present for their friends or family.  The game should release no sooner either so they can continue to polish it.  It will also create hype as it comes out so close to the buying season.

This would be an ideal time to release a game since many video games are sold during the X-Mass buying season which starts on Black Friday the day after Thanksgiving.

EA Mythic knows this would be the best time to release this game and so does Blizzard...
