@kaguna As far as I know, the Ramadan for each year is set according to the Islamic lunar calendar. But since I'm no muslim, I can't tell you the details.

Well yeah but if you say it around June - July it too far and no one want the release then
I was hoping to see IWDEE "within the month" because my college hosts a school wide 48 hour LAN party but that's next weekend. I don't think I'll be seeing it yet.
The lunar calendar doesn't line up with our solar calendar. Ramadan slowly changes, from year to year, where it falls on our calendar. This year, it started at the end of June and went until late July. Next year, it's mid-June to mid-July.
“An IWDEE is never late, nor is it early. It arrives precisely when it's meant to."
This is more or less accurate. When it's ready for release we'll release it, but we're not bound to a timeline for this game.
I do appreciate taking the time to make it great. But do we have an EVA (Extremely Vague Estimate) of roughly what you're shooting for?
By this I mean is it nearly ready for beta testing, or you really just started working on it at the time of the announcment and could be up to a year away. Just trying to set my expectations realistically.

Very nearly ready for beta testing; we've had a number of alpha testers going through the game looking for issues for a while now; right now we're focusing on polishing the game's current build to get it ready for more people to see it. It's very close now.

Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks for the speedy reply. Heading over to the Beamdog site to put my preorder in immediately.
Q: When will Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition release?
A: Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition has entered beta and will release "when it's ready" to ensure the best experience for players, LIKELY WITHIN A MONTH.
Well we've pretty much at the "Within a month" date today considering it was posted August 31st. Was the post getting Metaphysical with the concept of time. Is it within a month of each time that line is perceived? Are we all responsible for pushing the date back by constantly reading that line............... Maybe it should be taken from the website.
Also I'm getting confused here. The official website said it was already in beta testing on August 31st, but someone in the forums is saying beta testing hasn't started.......... Who's lying to us here.........
And how is an NDA signed? I mean is it like accepting the terms of software during the installation or something else? Never did any remote signatures - that's why I ask. Out of sheer curiosity))
Ah, I've already signed my life away a couple of times, so the "pain shall only be passing". In case I'll qualify for beta, I will "survive the process".))))

But I better be able to gift IWD as a Chanukka present!
I just hope that IWD:EE is ready for the Yuletide.
And Yuletide time is ok I guess most people have holiday so it good for them, for me? who knows

According to Dee the public beta is very close to being launched.
We have a team of beta testers already looking at the game, but the broader group hasn't yet been included while we finish polishing the edges.
