Don't think it was their initial intent but decided to use it as an important announcement date.

The jerseys may actually be what they said they are but decided to announce the release date on the day with the most hype around it when they realized that it was ready enough to pin a release date by then.

I didn't rly say anything before, and as much as i'll be derided for this, it's because I had some inside knowledge, but did no1 rly think how Anet's claim that these shirts were for someone leaving...............months and months in advance.........was in no way strange?
I mean...has any1 here worked anywhere where they had to give more than 3 months notice? And that's for very senior level...
So yes....they were trolling us guys.

The shirts were for 3 different people I assume. 1 leaving the 28th, 1 the 6th and one the 12th of the month Originally Posted by Squirrelbanes

Why would they bother to keep saying it at this point? Now that they've announced a release date on 6/28/12, they have absolutely no reason to pretend that it wasn't true, in the case that it was true. Originally Posted by Jibjub

2012-06-28, 03:41 PM #15DeletedYup, those shirts have been there for so long that it just wouldent be possible for them to know the date when they hung those there, its just that they saw that they could fit it all within the time frame and just went with it Originally Posted by Jibjub

Disagree. All that you really need to ask is: What logical reason do they have to deny it now? Originally Posted by AdrianCC100

Isn't ArenaNet and American company? I doubt they put up the European method of writing dates to trick people. Probably a coincidence.

I trust Anet ... I just like a good conspiracy theory. I doubt it was THAT much of a coincidence though -- I think once they had an idea of the release (a while ago as long as tests went well, which they must have), they purposefully announced it today, knowing we'd get a kick out of it. And maybe not.
edit: (but this was after people made much ado about nothing ... i.e. the jersey's didn't mean anything originally)
