Nobunaga's Ambition Online Launching Dates

It seems that Nobunaga's Ambition Online Taiwan version will have different sets of launching dates from what I speculated here.

To recap, my forecast was:
June - July : Closed Beta Testing
July - September : Adjustments and changes
October - November : Open Beta Testing
November - December : Final adjustments before service launch

It seems only my forecast for the closed beta testing is correct. The open beta testing will start in mid July (exact date not announced yet). And from what other Taiwanese speculated, it will start the service latest by August, ready to collect fees from students in Summer holidays.

Now what does it says about GVO? By miracle GVO beta testing will start after the summer holidays, which I doubt. I'm more convinced that the Taiwan version will have a equal chance as the China version to be beta tested early next year.

If Nobunaga's Ambition Online does well in the fourth quarter, chances are that Koei will speed up the beta testing in Taiwan. Not that I have anything against China beta testing first, it's just that somehow I feel outsiders will have a higher chances of getting a beta testing accout for the Taiwan version. ;)
