EverQuest II - Official Release Date Announced

The official release date for EverQuest II has been announced. As the rumors predicted, the game will ship on November, 8th, and should be available everywhere in retail stores by November, 9th. The game is simultaneously released in North America and Europe.

World of Warcraft release date is still just a rumor, but this rumor points to the 22nd of November, two weeks after EQ2. And WoW will be released only in North America and Korea, with Europe not only not being supplied, but also prevented from importing by not accepting credit cards with European billing address. Which means that at least the European players have no problem to decide what to play this winter, WoW Europe will only be released "early 2005".

I'm still looking forward to the release of EQ2, but I am a bit sceptical how stable the game will be on release. The game is making huge progress against lag and crashes, but this is still just the closed beta, with a quite limited number of players.
