On WoW Release Dates
[Oct 03, 2004, 05:33 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments

World of Warcraft coming in November? on IGN offers a revelation from deep within a VUG earnings report of some release dates they've listed for World of Warcraft, Blizzard's upcoming MMORPG. The report lists a November U.S. release date, a December date for Korea, Early 2005 in Europe, and later that year for China and Taiwan. They also point out that it is Blizzard, not Vivendi, that has the final say in the game's release, so these dates might not be accurate, though the staggered release over various territories is probably an indicator of how the game will actually be rolled out around the world.

WoW is ok - quests are actually tasks and not very good ones at that.

For the sake of conversation, how would you improve quests if you were the designer? I'm not being critical at all; I'm just curious to hear your ideas. I completely agree that the quests generally suck and that most are completely repetative fedex quests. I've thought about it casually, and haven't come up with anything worthwhile.

Blizzard will definitely push this out the door for the end of November. The game won't be ready yet, but there's no way they'll want to miss Xmas sales.

I think it's tough to say when any game, particularly an MMORPG, is "ready" (aside from squishing at least all major bugs). Some might argue the game is already ready. There are also some things that are more-or-less just perks, which are scheduled to be implemented after release (such as Hero classes). The main thing I'd like to see before the game is released is full and balanced talents. But other than that, I'm ready to pay money to play NOW, as I'd expect are most people who have played the game.
