When do YOU think the official release will be?

Alrighty boys since every topic has been discussed to the bone on here. The long waited question is upon us. How long will the delay be and when will we get our beloved MMO? Well we won't know the answer until the sandal lord himself graces us with the knowledge. But what we can do is take guesses on when it'll be released and refer back to this thread for bragging rights. Without further ado comment below when you think the MMO with release.

A) Before 2020 xD
B ) 2020 Q2
C) 2020 Q4
D) 2021
E) 2022
F) Never! Dead before arrival!

2025 i think is way tooo much. I guess many of us try to keep a late date on our mind in order to protect us from the loooong waiting. If we say 2023 we might get disapointed so we protect ourselves by saying 2025.

I say 2024 or 2025 because that is when I expect it to release.

That is still only 7 years of solid development.

After some reflection, I wouldn't want community expectation to put pressure on Intrepid to release the game earlier than Steven is happy with it.

Six months ago I guessed 2024, but if it got to 2024 and Steven wasn't more than 99%(?) happy with the state of the game then I'd rather he delayed. There's a huge number of systems to implement and polishing the interaction between the various parts could take a long time. At some point Steven will find himself with the decision "when is the game good enough to release?". I don't have any magic answers for him, but maybe, as a community we will be able to give honest feedback when asked.

The people whinging for an early release will the same ones whinging when not everything works properly after being released too soon. It'll be ready when it's ready.

And if I'm betting on a date, having a two year spread is pretty good too

It's like sad to not have any mmo worth playing. Like Archeage or L2 and AoC are a mmo of its kind, you can't compare them to, let's say, WoW. For me WoW is not worth a single second i'm in. It has nothing to do with what i look for in a mmo, and not having any game like this to play is really sad, and what's worst is to realize that there are still years to be passed without it. Holy macarroni.

BDO and ArcheAge are actually very close to being great games as long as you don't care much about WoW-style PvE raids, and if it weren't for the crazy monetization. I mean the depth of BDO systems is insane. They even added a battle royale in at one point. There's even node wars where you place defensive buildings, and extensive artisan systems and trade networks.

Paragraphs aren't the way to extend a thread by pages. For that, you need posts. Lots of posts.

The best way to get lots of posts is by posting an unpopular opinion, but one that resonates with many people.

To that end, I'm going to say that Ashes won't release until 2028. Since development started in 2018 in reality (the time before that was spent assembling the games team and such) and many less ambitious MMO's have had 10 year development times (ESO being one, iirc).

If the game launches any time before 2028, it will likely just be another of a long line of MMO's released before they were ready, and will fall in to that same heap of mediocrity.

So, anyone wanting the game to release before 2028 wants the game to fail.

That last sentence is really what makes this statement page fodder. -chef kiss- Perfect execution.

What updates to technology does your crystal ball tell you will make AoC feel dated in seven years. Really curious on your perspective.
