WHAT THE HELL, WIZARDS. WHAT THE HELL.

 

[Alzrius]

Hm, I wonder why it's been pushed back three months.

 

[Sunseeker]

Probably production issues. July isn't that far away.

From the original news thread.

I know a lot of you are as excited as I am (and some/many even more excited) so I wanted to make sure you had the most recent info on the 1E book release.

To keep it short, the process behind "re-mastering" the original materials unfortunately pushed back the release date a bit. But have no fear - I do have a date for you. We're looking to get out the 1st Edition Premium Players Handbook, Monster Manual, and Dungeon Master's Guide on July 17th, 2012.

And there was much rejoicing.

They had a date. That date was April 17th.

 

[Crothian]

And now they have a new date. These things happen in business it is not anything the least bit unusual.

 

[Baron Opal]

That's why Blizzard doesn't announce a release date until the project is done. There is always some frustration when there is an unforseen delay and you have to disappoint the customer base.

Another WOTC hate OP. Joy.


Seriously, it is a few months. And we have no idea what is happening behind the scenes.

 

[RangerWickett]

I'm glad none of you guys are Half-Life fans.

They were going to ship them with a rug? And now it's out? Damn. A nice first edition themed rug would have been cool.
