Velious Release Date

[DarkwingDuck]

So I keep hearing rumours around a winter/ Christmas velious. Are these purely speculation? Or is there merit to this madness ? I for one will be really excited if its finally around the corner.

[Bantam 1]

I don't think they can give an exact date because this is just a hobby project at the end of the day. IE if the devs get really busy in Nov and Dec with their own lives then no Christmas release.

PS - 128 days until Christmas...

I know they have said before the end of the year, but as Bantam said, it is a hobby so if they get busy, they get busy. No worries either way, the game is free so...

That and, just think how after a year of velious you're going to miss kunark.

They said there hopefully would be a beta test this year. That's a lot different than there probably being a release this year.

Are they polar bears? Or barbarian shammies in bear form? :p

Velious will definitely not be out this year or beta would have been announced/started by now. It might be next year, or in 2 or 5 years... I am starting to think Velious is just a social experiment of nilbog to see how long he can keep players on his server just promissing something that will never happen. Its Norrath, not Westeros, winter is far away.

Why?

in tiggles' interview with sirken, sirken said something like "hopefully at least beta test by the end of the year if not a full release."

And realistically you shouldn't hope for more than beta by the end of the year

Ohh no I thought this was going to be a Classic and Kunark server only? Everyone wants the quick travel allready or was that the next expansion after it?

[Xadion]

Shadows of Luclin introduced The Nexus, which allowed for somewhat quicker travel, but not nearly to the extent of Planes of Power.

Velious? Brother, we still ridin' boats.

Sig is too dark.

[Godefroi]

maybe they realized before the raiding scene hits velious they need to hire 5 new full time GMs to take care of the petitions, cause I can tell there s going to be a LOT of QQ ;)

end of next summer would be perfect for it IMO

[Swish]

once its here, it'll always be here... so enjoy not having it for a while longer

[idontbuff]

winter plox

[DarkwingDuck]

Oh well that's cool. Thanks all. I wasn't sure if there was an estimated eta or not. Glad to see they are hopeful , whether it's winter or summer.. It's coming. That's enough for me..

Will you let the rest of the community know when you deem it okay to look forward to velious? You've been saying the same thing for the last year.

Only a year? It seems like forever. It is my opinion that Swish is just an E-bot that scans for the word Velious and then posts please wait messages.

No.

Curious, since ReD PvP opened up 2 years after P99, this means that Red folks got to wait for Velious for 2 more years after the Blue? :D

[Nuggie]

Had a good laugh at that dog grabbing that firework. Good one swish.

Am also still having a good time in kunark. Besides, now that character sales are banned, IB needs time to ante up. "The Swarm" has a lot of darn accounts.
