Wow I am excited for these books but at the same time frustrated by the timelines they mentioned. Jeez, its taking a crazy long time for GW2 related news or stuff.
I really think they should have managed their time lines properly.
It will be hard to justify 'hype' for GW 2 if it releases late 2010 or god forbid 2011. Also, if they launch in Christmas or holiday season of 2010 they will get butchered by the big budget titles (& there are a lot of them). They need to launch it during the slow seasons cause their fans will still buy it, Its just the other 2million they have to convince.
