As much as I agree with rayhovite's input in what would have been smart business tactics to beat the other companies to release, I must honestly disagree with the apocalyptic results he predicts. December will be a good time to release it since people will have already tried all the other news that interests them. Hell the WoW patch will be almost old by then. New releases at the same time will conflict, releasing a bit later might even work to their benefit, especially if it's free of the worst bugs a premature release would have caused. A few casual spenders might be lost, but since potential systems release I have a feeling that hard core players comes much closer to match the small spender generated profit for Nexon anyway. It was most likely clumsy handled of Nexon to hype it like they did, but it will by no means result in failure. Personaly I rather take a better tested late release than the alternative.
