August is busy.
Before I get started:
Our launch date has been announced!!!
SEPTEMBER 18th, 2008
Mark you calendars, cats and kittens.
Moving on…
As we run up to launch, well be traveling all over the world shaking hands and kissing babies and generally whipping you all into a WAR-crazed frenzy.
Jeff and Paul will be at Gen Con next week (not sure which days, specifically).
Jeff, Paul and I – along with Justin, Kate and a cast of other superstars – will be at the Games Convention in Leipzig the week after next. If you want to see the new, unbearably awesome cinematic, get on a plane and come see us there!
Jeff, Paul and I will be home for TWO WHOLE DAYS after Games Convention before heading to PAX. Im really excited about this show because its THE big-deal fan event for our industry at this point and its basically the last major US event before we launch the game. I expect nothing short of total insanity from everyone who comes to see us.
So yeah. Busy, busy, busy. Then launch. Then VERY BUSY.
I have to say I’m just a tad envious that you guys get to travel around the world to work… Okay so I lied, I’m more than just a “tad” envious.
I cant wait for WAR, Josh. I preordered 5 CE copies for me and my friends so they would have no reasons to keep playing WoW. Any idea if there will be more beta spots opening for members on the wait list prior to the late August opening?
I’m drooling over the teaser, and on top of that you folks are hitting up conference after conference this month. And that’s on TOP of getting to finally play the game after two and a half years later this month. Good times ahead, for sure.
Don’t wear yourselves out.. too much, good luck at the conferences, and keep up the awesome work on WAR!
Well Josh, it’s busy on the fansite front as well. All that busy as a bee news you’ve been putting up has kept the shores in our little corner of the WAR community running around as well.
Be sure to Youtube up a candid video or two from the shows! It’s always nice to see you guys and your personal experiences as well as talking about the game.
Jared, Mark Jacobs announced today that CE pre-orders will be able to get into the closed beta next week:

Looking forward to seeing the new cinematic Josh.
