According to Geoff Hickman, Senior Producer of Warhammer Online for EA Mythic, the game could be ready for launch today. In an interview with Eurogamer, though, he explains why the game has been pushed back until Fall of this year. Apparently the title needs much polishing, and EA does not want to release a fully playable but bland game.
