It seems Gamestop has now change their date to 9/23. The servers may be up on 9/20 but I dont think anyone from USA is going to be online

Amazon.com updated their site to say 9/20(shipped on).
EB told me yesterday that they would have the box on their shelf on the 29th, today they said the 24th.
The Gamespot's in my area said they would have it on their shelves on either the 24th or the 27th.
ChipsBits.com told me that it would be available to ship on the ??? I just called them and got an answering machine??? Weird.
So i guess your best bet if you want to play on the 21st is to pay Amazon the full 49.99(the only retailer charging that much) and then pay the $15 they want to overnight.

Hmm Amazon don't say a thing about the pre-order stuff either.
Looks like not until 23rd...

Called an independent game retailer in Southern California and had them check their inventory. The clerk noted that the estimated ship date to them had been bumped from the 21st to the 23rd. Sounds like Tri Synergy is gonna be late on getting the box out the door in the US. This also corroborates what Gamestop and gamestop.com are showing, with a shipping ETA of the 23rd.
Looks like we're gonna be waiting till the end of next week guys. Oh well...

Note to self:
When creating mmporg, ensure that server launch precedes ship date by a SIGNIFICANT period of time, in order to ensure we can brag about having a *stable* launch.

EBGames just updated their site to say that it would ship on 9/20(today).
Ryzom.com also added the link to Chips&Bits on their main order page, though C&B still does not list a release/ship date.
Amazon has changed their availability to "coming soon"
I guess i'll wait a week or two before I head to the stores anyway. I wanna see what you folks that get it have to say once the NA servers are populated.

I just called EB games to see if they had them in stock or not. They told me that they are expecting them today but they have not been delivered. I kinda suspect they are playing the shipping date game to get the most pre-orders.

The EB a few miles from me just said that they would "probably" have them in tomorrow. Gamespot is still saying Friday(24th).
