You do relize that that press release is from February of this year right? I.E., almost a year ago?

Or maybe 2nd october?

Nummy, you're comprehension skills are lower than mine are.

NEW YORK – February 10, 2011 – Paradox Interactive today officially announced Salem, a free-to-play Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) game based in the harsh world of colonial Salem.... The game is being developed by the team at Seatribe and is scheduled to go live in 2011 on the Paradox Connect platform.

The site says that, but jorb's reddit thread he says Q2.

I wonder which is more recent / accurate. I hope Q2 =(

The Paradox home page used to say Q2 for Salem. I'm not sure when it got changed, I was just looking for news articles when I had noticed that. I'd wager that it'll be this time next year (Q4) before it's fully finished. I base this completely off previous MMO release schedules. I've not seen a one done anywhere near a year of the original planned release date. Heck, that usually holds true of almost all games. I can think of a few exceptions, but they properly padded their release schedule, not because they didn't have the usual issues involved with game development.
