I just got off the phone with Software ETC. and they told me that AONW got pushed back and they have no new release date for it. What is going on FC? Have you decided to pull it back at the last second? Need the info......

One of my guildies was told the same thing... on the other hand, I called EB today and was told that it shipped today and they should have it tomorrow. I have it on good authority that a few people already have their copies. I think Software Etc. is BSing you, but I won't know for sure until tomorrow.
Gamestop... I was told "on hold indefintly".
local EB and gamestop both said on shelves tomorrow.
EB has told me the same thing, and I've seen that posted elsewhere in the forums.
EB told me that Dark Age of Camelot was a strategy game, so anything that comes out of their mouths is highly suspect.
Do you go to the EB with the big fat lady with white hair who knows nothing about gaming? She is in my store to!
Munkie!
Software shops/vendors never know what they're talking about, most of the time.
I can't count the number of times I asked, in various big software selling shops, when XXX or YYY game would be available, only to get answers like "What name you said ? Does it even exist ?", or "Well, I don't have it on my release list, so I think it won't be out for ages", only to go to the next shop and find the shelves full of that game.
I wish we could get an official word on the real ship date from Funcom :D
Good news: I talked to a couple of gamestores today (one of wich I know the owner), and they told me it had been shipped today.
Bad News: As for Digital River, they are completely useless. I finally got a reply to my emails where they basically told me: Sorry we have no idea of when we will get your copy, so you might as well cancel and buy it in your local store. Well I sure cancelled!
Since I'm living in Norway I assume shipping will be 2-3 days (thats what the storeowner I know figured as well), I'll still have it by weekend.
So I would urge the rest of you guys on Backorder to do the same, cancel and get it from your local store.
Hmm... it's a big fat human, yes- but I'm almost certain it's a male, with some sort of skin problem. =)Quote:

You must mean the white haired lady from Fred Meyers, Shes always stealing my parking space too.:D
At least we Americans will have something to give Thanks for. I was upset that it wouldn't get here till Thursday when everywhere would be closed. At least now there is a ray of hope in my life :D

I never claimed to be a patient man.:mad:
Hmm I was just browsing around the Babbages/Gamestop website and they apparently have AO: Special Edition listed as being developed and published by Tri-Synergy. Someone should do something about that :(
Nice sig there intense.
But you need to check the sources of your research:)

A salesdude at an Electronics Boutique store in Toronto told me it will be available December 2.
How are you people cancelling your order to Digital River? The only thing I see on the webpage about cancelling says that once you hit submit, you can't cancel.Quote:
