so quick question, does ZOS plan to announced the release date few months before or only few weeks, like oblivion, before the game release ?

I really really want a countdown

You and everyone else.

We don't have a release date, other than 2014 at this time. Because of that, we close all threads speculating about the release date as they just get spammed up.

When we have a release date to discuss, there will be threads.
