worse these days really,with huge games and accessable modding, Morrowind is still a viable option..now add the fact that 4 other bethesda games are out with active modding communities that update the game..and a good rpgish has hit every single month since september (minus january) and will be coming out till at least may (dragon dogma) and now a mmo issue...oy. wanna buy a recently barely used gym membership?

Quoting myself for the people who are still not clear that this post implies a specific date.

One galaxy far, far away already nabbed a lot of players. A massive effect is going to occur pretty soon too. They need the weekend.

Edit: Oh I see. GoT. It was pretty clear i22 was coming out March 6th already then >_>;. We don't need it rubbed in our faces.

According to the Zwill Soon™ chart, Imminent is less than a week, which means it could be as late as next Wednesday.

It's going to be Tuesday.

If the servers suddenly go down today.... I'm wrong.
Meh. Not big enough of a Bioware fanboy to grab Mass Effect 3 right off the bat like I did Skyrim.

Heck, even if Paragon Studios didn't have a new Issue ready to push out the door they probably would've come up with some amazing new deals in the Paragon Market or -something- to toss out there on March 6th.

It's got nothing to do with rivalry, it's got everything to do with the picture Zwill chose.

I didn't say "compete" directly. Obviously they are different games and the people who really want to jump on ME3 ASAP will probably still do so. I'm simply saying the negative impact to this game will likely be softened at least a little bit by having something that will draw people -back- to this game ASAP.

EDIT: People seem to forget that Paragon Studios did the exact same thing for Age of Conan. They tossed out Issue 12 (the one that gave us Cimerora) on the exact same day that game launched.

Besides they're not even in the same market to rival each other.

@Lothic: Ahh. I see. Yeah, CoH won't suffer from the release. Not like ESV drew people away.

For the record, I'll be on CoH on the 6th. Think I'll hold off on ME3 until it hits steam.

Be well, people of CoH.

Hahah Zwill is trolling us with memes...and teasing as always.

my guess? Imminent means next week. I could be wrong though.

Be well, people of CoH.

Yep. Pretty much this all day long.

Despite all my common sense and logic saying the 6th for I22... I keep refreshing the boards looking for a server downtime announcement for tomorrow...

I thought non-constructive posts were against the board TOS?

Would be cool if the lead Dev from ME3 would face of against Zwill, this is what it would look like....

ME3: We have an army.
Zwill: We have i22.


Now, let's see who gets the joke.
