Talk:Guild Wars: Factions

IMO a wiki shouldn't be the place for speculation or rumors. At least not in articles. Keep speculation on the talk pages. Only list things that are officially confirmed by ANet in interviews or on forums, with link to source as evidence. And only ANet, please. Your local EB dealer does not count as official, even if he claims to have insider information on the release date. ;) --Fisherman's Friend 09:12, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Shandy replaced "first half of 2006" with "first quarter or second quarter of 2006". I reverted, because I wanted to use the exact same wording of Gaile Gray from the GameSpot interview. Furthermore, I don't see the difference between "first half" and "first or second quarter". 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2 Isn't it? --Fisherman's Friend 09:23, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

 * In this case, they didn't use quarters (at least, not in the interview). I tend to agree with Fisherman's Friend; go with the published facts.  I think we should only go with the "Q1 or Q2" if we can find an interview stating it that way.  The "Q1 or Q2" technically means the same as "1st half"; but I think most people read "Q1 or Q2" as implying a Q1 target with a potential slip to Q2.  As far as I know, this isn't what has been said in interviews (yet), so we should go with the "1st half" statement that they have clearly given.  It implies a slightly longer wait, but is more realistic given the facts that we have available so far. --Barek 13:01, 6 December 2005 (UTC)


 * When you hear about stuff coming out in 1st, 2nd, etc... quarter that is coming from a business/accounting report generally speaking. It has to do with companies (usually publically held ones) and the reporting that they have to do.  They will try to spread the games they release out over the four annual quarters to keep their profits up and keep their shareholders happy.  Since Gaile Gray can do more than read a pre-prepared press release, she stated it in more human terms, "first half of the year."
 * As a side note Amazon.co.uk or whatever the UK version is called, has the second chapter listed. But I wouldn't trust their release date any more than I would one posted in a local game store.  --Rainith 13:45, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
