If they want the profit, release part 1, wait for everyone to get used to it. Release WH and BaM right before Chritmas, everyone will spend either the leftover money or wait till after Christmas Day, get their money spend it all on the new classes and then in January once the hype has settled, BAM, Mechanic. Everyone will then rush right to the stores buying up every NEXON game card they can find. Everytime a new class comes out Walgreens and CVS are sold out of NEXON cards. I have a friend who's the manager at the CVS store and he'll save a couple for me, so trust me he would know when people would buy x amount of cards.
Most people have no idea how long it took KMS to get Wild Hunter and Battlemage. And not every kiddie is going to be able to run out to the store and buy NX every two weeks.
But why not release it in November? Get it out there for kids to get excited about it, and tell their parents they want an NX card for christmas. Then black friday, they're already selling more. If there's only two weeks between job releases, then a lot of people will probably just decide they've already spent enough money, and they don't buy anymore. Or they won't have enough spare money after two weeks to warrant buying more.
And there's other evidence for a November release. The fact we have the poll intended nearly purely for hype now, and not in november. The release of a trailer for Big Bang. When has nexon ever released a trailer for a patch that's two months away?
Pirates trailer was released the patch after the trailer. Same with cygnus. And Arans. And Evans. And Dual Blades. True, they were all released online and not at press conferences, but I really don't think Nexon would let something like this hype up for pretty much two and a half months.
