Sikozu Prioris Serenity Engineering and Transport Company Wildly Inappropriate.	Posted - 2009.03.05 11:02:00 - [1] Just got a email from Game UK; As you may already be aware, the UK release date for Eve Online has changed to 13-Mar-2009. Changes to release dates are relatively common in the videogames industry and are unfortunately beyond our control. This a hint of delays to come with the actual server release? or has someone screwed up in shipping the disks?

AFAIK the gamebox have alwys had the releasedate on the 13th of march, while the game itself will get its expansion on the 10th.. I have not heard anything about changes, so I guess this is still the dates..

Myrhial Arkenath Ghost Festival	Posted - 2009.03.05 11:18:00 - [5] Releasing the box a few days after the patch hits is a smart move to ensure that new players will not get caught up in the chaos that is the server after a patch. CEO \| Diary of a pod pilot

Anderson Beyond Divinity Inc	Posted - 2009.03.05 17:21:00 - [15] Edited by: Anderson on 05/03/2009 17:23:23 Maybe they've had so many preorders on their first stock of the box set, so they don't have any more available until the 13th. Or something along those lines. Edit: They censor the word r.etard? Ok, I'll use SpEd in the future.

Boxes on shelves for one week never to be seen again except in bargain bin 3-6 months later. Some of us also remember Game as the tossers who killed Barrysworld servers - hi Bazerka & the rest of the ex-BW staff if you're reading. In short Game are the worst possible retailer in the UK for people who actually like GOOD games. Please don't give them your money, there are plenty of other options.

Suneai Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2009.03.05 18:54:00 - [22] Game.co.uk originally had the release for the 6/03/2009, which is why the OP is posting about the date being moved. Just to note, there is no problem with shipping of the retail boxes as my local store has them in the stock room right now. The release date for Game.co.uk was pushed from the 6th to the 13th to match the rest of the world's release date for the retail box.
Maestro Ulv Phaze-9 Capital.Punishment	Posted - 2009.03.05 19:22:00 - [23] You can walk out of the stores here in Trondheim with a copy right now if ya want. Well ya can if your quick, shops shut in 40 minutes :)

We're looking into why Game UK is stating otherwise. Thanks for calling it to our attention :) For some reason, all of this kind of retail release happens on Fridays, has done for years. It's bit me in the ass a couple of times with expansions for other MMOs in the past.

Think you can persuade the people at your local store to tell you how many copies they have and how many more they can order if sold out? Would be interesting to see what CCP marketing thinks they can risk for the initial sales volume. Yay! Got meh sig back! ♥ Weatherman

He's going to think I'm planning to claim as many copies as possible or something.

Elysarian Minmatar dudetruck corp	Posted - 2009.03.05 20:24:00 - [29] Uh... The boxed game doesn't/won't have Apocrypha in it... It's QR, anyone buying it will still have to download the new patch (unless CCP have figured out time-travel - the masters were sent to the pressing plants when Apocrypha was still about 50% completed). ===================================== It smells of spoon! =====================================
Gunnanmon Gallente UNITED STAR SYNDICATE	Posted - 2009.03.05 20:28:00 - [30] Quite why they'd release the box on the same day that they put a patch on the servers baffles me. It's certainly a nice way to welcome people to the game; "server offline, try back in 3 days once we work out wtf we did, aight."

Most people, including myself, are probably buying it for the GTC which will be cheaper than one bought directly off of one of the online GTC shops.

Caldari Citizen000001 Caldari Broken's legion Failure Imminent	Posted - 2009.03.05 23:43:00 - [35] I was kind of wondering if CCP/atari were going to put out timecards in stores which would help more people towards EVE since they are putting the game in stores. I know myself would buy one right now, i dont need the whole game box. I see buying it in a store more feasible rather than online.
Jovoich Free Lapland The Kadeshi	Posted - 2009.03.05 23:48:00 - [36] play.com is also on the 13th http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/8315846/-/Product.html?searchstring=eve+online&searchsource=0 I call 'Bull****' CCP. Isn't it great that the alchemy process was introduced & can 'take up the slack?'

I know myself would buy one right now, i dont need the whole game box. I see buying it in a store more feasible rather than online. Would be pretty good to have them in UK stores, having them at a set cost in stores would solve all the complaints about subscribing to the game with the frantic rise & fall the currency exchange always goes through.
Sikozu Prioris Serenity Engineering and Transport Company Wildly Inappropriate.	Posted - 2009.03.06 03:03:00 - [39] Reason why I made this thread was that originally, Game UK had the release date for the box set as the 5th of March iirc. It irk'd me to see it be delayed from that date by another week.

Kahega Amielden Minmatar Suddenly Ninjas	Posted - 2009.03.06 05:19:00 - [41] If it's released on the 10th, it means that the box ships out on the tenth. It doesn't mean you'll be able to purchase the box on the 10th. /thread
Joss Sparq Caldari Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2009.03.06 06:15:00 - [42] I can no longer find it on the GAME.com.au site anymore, for pre-order.
cpu939 Gallente OffBeat Creations	Posted - 2009.03.06 06:34:00 - [43] hmv.com also has it coming out on the 13th any news as to why this is ccp. 01101111 01100110 01100110 01100010 01100101 01100001 01110100 00100000 01100011 01110010 01100101 01100001 01110100 01101001 01101111 01101110
Destination SkillQueue Are We There Yet	Posted - 2009.03.06 06:47:00 - [44] When did this become news? It was initially said the expansion will be deployed on the 10th and the box will go on sale a few days later. Sounds to me as if everything is moving according to the initial plan.

45thtiger 0109	Posted - 2009.03.06 14:14:00 - [46] Well guys The 13 of march 2009 when the rest of the world has it available instores. But us people in Australia will get it instores on the 19th of March 2009. And i would like to ask a question to CCP will the GTC be available also instores like all other MMO`s ? yes or no. Thanks

CCP Mitnal C C P CCP	Posted - 2009.03.06 17:23:00 - [49] We have received confirmation that Apocrypha will be released on March 12 in Europe and the rest of the world and on March 10 in the US and Canada. This is purely down to the way retailers operate in each territory, as a previous GAME employee myself, they prefer Friday releases for new titles. Apocrypha is still right on schedule for a March 10 release for everyone. Mitnal Community Representative CCP Hf, EVE Online Email

Rainus Max Fusion Enterprises Ltd	Posted - 2009.03.06 18:32:00 - [50] Afaik 99.9% of games in the UK are released on a Friday (CD/DVDs on a Monday and books on a Thursday), only time I've known them come out on other days is if its a BIG release that occurs world wide at the same time, there was one very recently that did that.
