Better question - why not wait a month and have the experience of playing the character be more enjoyable.

My guesses based off the closed-beta start were 11/16 or 11/23, but yeah I guess the date near thanksgiving is out. The 9th would be nice .

Me and a couple friends also figured the Rikti event starting this week was just a distraction to get everyone's mind off i19(Possibly the best issue evarr) for awhile, guess it didn't work haha .
Looking at the charts after i10, it seems that we always have a Rikti invasion not long before a patch is out.

For example:
04/18/2008 - Rikti Invasion Returns (ended 04/24/2008)
05/20/2008 - Issue 12 released
or
11/14/2008 - Rikti Invasion Returns (ended 11/20/2008)
12/02/2008 - Issue 13 released

I'd say the 2nd is the earliest we'll be seeing i19, with the Open Beta likely starting during the invasion.

I doubt it'll go live Nov 9th. We haven't even had an open beta yet.

I'm beginning to suspect that the person who said Dec 7th, is going to be right on target with that answer.

There have been Issues where the "open" part of their betas lasted less than a week.
But I'd agree that as each day of this week goes by the chance of it being the 9th seems less likely.

Still that does leave Nov. 16th and Nov. 30th as reasonable guesses before Dec. 7th.
Based on the history of this game's beta periods Dec. 7th would make I19's beta length "longer than normal" at the very least.

I'm going to continue to stick by my expectation of the week of November 29th. i8, i11, and i13 all came out the week after Thanksgiving, and I see no reason why we shouldn't maintain that tradition (especially since I have that week off!). The one-week-later December 7th prediction is a reasonable fallback, though. Given the Christmas event's gotta start eventually, if they want to get i19 out this year, we'll pretty much have to see it by that point.

The only thing that keeps my altitis in check is the fact that my preferred server (Victory) is full of characters I like too much to delete for new alts and I don't want to buy more character slots.

Most of them are between levels 10 and 16 though, and I haven't picked any Fitness powers for any of them anyways. I am still looking forward to I19 whenever it is released though.

Seriously. My guess is all servers in the red, except Virtue and Freedom which you will probably be booted out of upon loggin in XD. Can't wait!

I've been playing a new tank who I've slotted under the normal-yet-soon-to-be-old conditions and an Ill/Rad troller whom I've just skipped that whole pool on. It's been tough sometimes, what with having to slot for End and converting every last Insp drop I get to blues, but overall it hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be. Now, if it had been my MA/SR scrapper... :P

So I'm not holding off too much, but some other toons I started for GR are just sitting.

Its been repeatedly said, including by a redname in one of the global channels last week, that if it did NOT go live on the 16th, that it would go live the week after Thanksgiving. With that said, it seems that Nov 30th is now the target date.

Actually, what was said was "16th *ISH*". It's still possible that it'll drop before the end of the week, but I'm not going to hold my breath. It absolutely won't drop before Thanksgiving if it doesn't drop by the end of this week, though. They're not going to release an issue Thanksgiving week.

It won't drop this week.
