Awesome! Let the D&D begin!!!!!!!!! [img]graemlins/1dice.gif[/img]

And I have 10 days of vacation coming my way toward the end of june to mark the occassion. [img]graemlins/cheers.gif[/img]

THIS is the game I've been waiting for! Damn software stores have had those stupid "coming soon" signs up for years now! I think I'm takin the day off when it comes out in our stores here :D

I can't wait! Here is our press release as well:

Apparently this it is being shipped to NZ by the end of June, so that is good for me and my friends, who are going to make a module with the toolbox [img]smile.gif[/img]

Pardon me for asking but what does " Gone Gold " means?

Basically it means all the design and development is done and they have begun full-scale production of the final consumer product (ie: burning the cd's, making the boxes/manuals/packages etc). Once a product goes gold it means that in a very short time it'll be in stores available for purchase. Woo hoo.
Now, someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think 'going gold' officially means that the first 250,000 copies have been made, right? I'm not sure if the music industry's 'gold' is the same as the gaming industry's.

YES! YES! YES! OMG YES!!!!!!!!
Oooops, got a little overexcited there [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I'm not sure if the music industry's 'gold' is the same as the gaming industry's.</font>[/QUOTE]The music industry's GOLD is completely different from the gaming industry...for the music industry it means a certain number of albums have been sold to consumers, and if it gets even more popular then the next step is platinum.

For the gaming industry "Gold" means that the developer is officially done with the game and has sent the Gold copy of the game to the publisher for replication. Chances are the boxes and manuals have already been in production and all the publisher has to do is copy the CD's and stuff the boxes.

Usually it's a week to 2 weeks between going gold and the game hitting the shelves, it depends on the size and resources of the publisher. And since Infogrames is so big, I'm hoping the delay will only be 1 week. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Due on NZ shelves on the 25th of June

[img]graemlins/yippee.gif[/img]
Wooooooooooohoooooooooo!!

I have been waiting for what seems like forever to hear this!!!

I expect the NWN forum to get REALLY busy now. I expect to see you all there! :D

No worries, Memnoch, Gal and I are there all the time as it is. :D
And, Epona, last time I heard a woman say that was....oops, never mind. :D

Too bad they raised the broadband connection prices with about 40% here in Sweden, now I won´t get a fast connection for this game.. :S

It actually ***********xas many as you have breath for bad words!
They claim that Sweden is a nation that will be leading in IT and use internet to purchase everything on, bahambug!

Politicians and reality and gready companies...

WHOOHOO!!! [img]smile.gif[/img] :D

I wonder when it'll be available in the stores in the Netherlands, I may have to order it via internet.

I wanna play this ASAP :D

What is "going GOLD"? (yah laugh all you want...)

EDIT:never mind...helps to read the whole thing...

LOL @ Suzacu. Isn't that one of Murphy's Laws?

I'll be damned. Maybe they'll actually make their target ship date of the 17th.

Spoke too soon- Just checked EBGames and it's shipping on the 18th now.

  </font>

and um just to not burst your bubble:
Folks, I am looking forward to this game as much as anybody. But please bear in mind that ALL of the so-called reviews here really just regurgitate summaries of the "previews" which have been run by the game's own developer for members of the press, and which were published by printed or online game hubs, mags, and press releases. No ordinary people really know yet whether the game will be as good as promised or if it will meet all its goals! So please remember: as of now, NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE GAME IS REALLY LIKE YET, Though i SURE AS HELL am gonna GET IT since everybody else is [img]tongue.gif[/img] *pre-orders*

Im going to see if i can't be an elven ranger, and if elves suck then ill try and find a ranger that has good necromantic abilities...

I may as well place an add:

<font color="cyan">Good Necromantic Ranger Seeking Light Magic Abusing Über Folks to go evil hunting with... will collect gold and never spend it on anything but arrows, will befreind many animals and gain points to hire henchmen, if you wish to tag along feel free, just look for the guy with the red hair, pale skin, black facial tatoos, blue and red eyes, named Î)eathkiller

LOL, like how you start out sensibly /)K, and then get all slobbery, just like us. I CANNOT WAIT!!!

It must be mine soon also Attalus!!!!! While I was at work today I kept thinking I know I'll be in hell when it comes out because I have to go to ****ing work and wont be able to play! I want it NOW!
