Not for a long while. So the rumoured release date is false? |

Well, to be fair, it WAS schild who said it. Time is different for him. Remember, he lives for the moment so a week is almost forever.

I can't see Schild giving this game an honest testing effort - there aren't any paladins  |

Did you sign up for the beta? Did you follow the instructions in the sticky post? I see good things ahead if you did! did, and they said "hohoho, little European, there is nothing for you here..." At least they are talkin to you... I just get the disdainful "you are a lttle flea" stare. |

Dude, don't break the NDA.
If you have received confirmation of getting into the beta, please tell me.
edit: Nevermind. Actually reading the thread helps. |

Necromancy!
I got into the beta via random stress test invite. Is there a board to discuss in game happenings?

Send a PM to Lord Beta. And schild. And Trippy, since schild is probably asleep. |

Me too. I've been too busy wrapping up the semester (I fucking HATE it when I'm doing a group project and I'm the only one with a functioning brain cell or the ability to do actual work. I got stuck in TWO like that this year. It's aggravation I don't need on top of my real job) to even d/l it, but I'm hoping to do so next week. |

A friend of mine is too. And he is surprised so far.
Maybe his expectations were too low. But hey, it was Turbine, he thought.

Watch your mouth, sweetheart. Technically you are not even supposed to announce that you are in. Lucky for us Cal is kind enough to look the other way when we do. |

I'll never get used to this kind of dumb stuff.
That said, looks like a nice diku (from the.. uh.. previews)

Lots of people got invites recently, for the stress tests.
And as to the game, believe half of what you see and none of what you hear /Reed

And then over in the Vanguard thread you complain about not getting beta invites! |

Tight stuff here, tight people.
Ok, I'll just say that I am sorry. Among other things, I must admit that I am sorry.

Can I ask when this game is supposed to come out or is that NDA protected?

EB Games/GameStop has the release date as 3/1/2007, which is obviously just a guesstimate. The official FAQ says: "We are anticipating a Spring 2007 release."

I can give a more developer-official prodiction than Spring 2007:
Either, "When it's done" or "When our investors force us to release it."
(No, I'm not in the LotRO beta, for lack of trying.)

The site now says "early 2007", which is a little weasely if used to mean May. But it may yet end up there.
I'm actually really looking forward to it. There, I'm out of the closet. As Signe said, my persistent hopefulness lends me puppy-like cuteness. My expectations are moderate - I played DDO, after all - but I expect it to be fun all the same.

Someone wake me when we get an Age of Conan beta thread. As a Conan fan, at least if that game sucks, I'll be able to point out its suckage in regards to gameplay and use of the lore. I'm not a big enough LotR fan to be able to nitpick any story errors that might exist.
