Warhammer’s release schedule is all about the WTF

Announced in 2005, delayed three times over the past six months, but will it be ready and is it enough time? It has to launch, but there is no reason why EAMythic should have thought about releasing Warhammer that early when it was only announced in 2005. Unless EAMythic wants it to be a pile of flaming camel shit balls that would make Vanguard look like the hooker with gold plated teeth that left your genitals sparkling in gold dust after your first corpse run.

Every other MMOG is in normally in development for normally three-to-four years, and even Tabula Rasaeven took five or six years. Long development times won’t guarantee a great result, but a better result. I gripe, oh do I , and I see it elsewhere, we wait anxiously to get our pee v pee on, but I got the nerd rage for Mark Jacobs on this one and here’s why: the man is a braggart. Jacobs has bragged a lot that DAOC took less than two years to develop. Assuming the same thing is even remotely possible with a title like WAR in this day and age is on the absurdity levels of cave men with the power of flight that shoot laser beams from their nads.

EAMythic wants the people that haven’t heard of Warhammer, they want the players frustrated with WoW’s PvP. I am this person. PvP is going to be the fucking reason to play. I ask people all the time in vent and in tells if they are going to play Warhammer for the PvP. Most haven’t even heard of it. I attempt to explain what will make Warhammer’s PvP better than WoW’s, and I’m met with either laughter or astonishment and a promise to check it out. I won’t bother for awhile, at least until the open beta. So to EAMythic and Mark Jacobs, thanks for delaying Warhammer, and stick to a realistic date on your next MMOG even if your egos tell you otherwise.
