So when is the release date?
Any guess as to what year at least then? anyone...

Most MMO's take years to develop, Morian. This isn't something that can just be rushed into and still have a quality product. At the earliest, I'd say it would take abut 3 years, if at all. Funding might be difficult to get from outside sources due to almost every MMO the past 2 years or so fading quickly. Star Wars: The Old Republic and Guild Wars 2 being the notable exceptions.
I think they said it wouldn't take as long as your normal themepark mmo to be finished.

From what I hear, Star Wars: The Old Republic is going free-to-play.
Guild Wars 2 is probably the better exception, but on the other hand, they are pay once (if I hear right), while Star Wars: The Old Republic is pay once and then pay monthly.

In the mean time, just be patient, read the Goblinworks blogs, and go have fun playing the tabletop game... Also, when I say read the goblinworks blogs, I mean all of them :| Not sure if you have or not, but a lot of people on here do not sound like they read the blogs at all. I really think they should pin a thread saying "Read the Blog before you post"... but that's just me complaining.
When will then be now?
Now. However, now is not the now you are waiting for. The now for the release is going to be a few months to few years away.

Very soon...
OP:Release date is sufficiently far away to be of no matter. But as with mmorpgs, tends to the longer time scale 4-6 years eg!! But GW have plans for a lean launch, so once/if investment is achieved, potentially 2 and up years I'd go for...
