As is the case with many games, this Anarchy Online expansion set, is postponed to September. This is the official explanation:

Anarchy Online Shadowlands Release Rescheduled

- New release date September 9th -

Oslo, Norway, August 13th, 2003 - Funcom announced today that the
release date of Anarchy Online: Shadowlands has been pushed back from
August 26th to September 9th.

"With Shadowlands, we are literally adding a whole new dimension to our
game," explained Funcom CEO, Trond Aas. "The scope of the project is
huge, and we have found that we need a couple of more weeks of testing
and balancing before launching the expansion."

While fans will have to wait another two weeks for the expansion, Trond
Aas is certain it will be worth the wait. "I'm convinced everyone will
see the sense in our decision. The extra wait will be long forgotten
once they start exploring the marvelous world of Shadowlands."

The expansion pack will include the full version of Anarchy Online,
Anarchy Online - Notum Wars and Anarchy Online - Shadowlands, as well as
one month of included game-time for new accounts. Suggested retail price
is USD/EUR 29.99. Customers who pre-order Shadowlands prior to launch
are entitled to an exclusive luxury apartment in the floating city of
Jobe.
