When do you think 1.0 will be released?

Given that this thread has been allowed to continue, I suspect they have a release date.

Nope. We're just letting people spitball about it.

Actually I'm going by the fact that they said they had a release date. At the very least both HarvesteR and Maxmaps said they had a specific date that they were going to release the game on. I believe one of them (I don't remember which) mentioned how it was looming.

Of course they have a definite day in mind (internally). A deadline. Why otherwise hurry at all? And I guess they need a specific date to tell the partners in all those deals they keep talking about. The question is when.

I'm also wondering if they plan on selling boxed versions? If they are, I would guess at a release day in late may/early june to have time to send a gold version to be printed and shipped. If not, I would still say early may. They still need time to up the hype by trailers, and I'm guessing with 1.0 they would want to announce it a couple of weeks beforehand, not just drop it on a (tuesday) as usual. At least, thats how I would do it.

Besides, when they say they might not need all the time set for experimentals, I would still say they are locked in with a specific launch date, so that time would probably be spent doing other things.

Conclusion: I'm guessing 8th of May. Or maybe 15th of May. Or later, I would be very surprised if its released this month (but very happy!)

Today would be a good day. I mean I know it isn't going to be today but... today (April 12) is the anniversary of the first manned space flight of Yuri Gagarin.

May 5th will be the anniversary of Alan Shepard's flight, the first American in space (and it's on a Tuesday).

I'd say some 20th april. But i'll explode with hype overload by then.

It is also Cinco de Mayo. Dev team will want to be partying, so 4/28 is my bet.
