More CB news!

More CB news:

http://www.planeshift.it/main_01.html

   
We released the client to the closed alpha testers the last saturday and they immediately started to work on it to find out bugs and problems. The first day was quite hard, since we found 2 critical bugs in the server code that made impossible testing with more than 3-4 people on-line. The bugs were very hard to find and reproduce since were happening only when a number of players was connected and the server was crashing in very different ways each time. After about 12 hours of work, the engine team found out and solved the issues! Testing restarted more than happily and a lot of new minor bugs were found and fixed. We didn\'t add in NPCs yet to focus testing on char creation and on in-game gui. Today or tomorrow we will add monsters and NPCs to the test server.

Thanks to the testers for their patience in dealing with crashes and bugs: Axsyrus, Cad, Chris, Ciry, Gronomist, Hevrah, Kada, Keldorn, KL, Kwartz, Moogie, Nilaya, Orogor, Osy, Yangbin.

Stay tuned for more reports...


Screenshots are on the main page, but right now they don\'t seem to be working. They should be up soon, though.

h00ray for hardwork prevailing over \"Evil\" Bugs!

Can you feel it we are getting that much closer to the real deal people! Or is this just a hoax? *slaps himself*

Awesome.   :)

Too bad the screens aren\'t working, though.  Hmm...

That is just cruel. I click on the screenshot to see what I have been waiting for for so long and I get a little square with a red x. I guess the release of the screenshots had been delayed.

Phew, the fenkis get to keep their previous outfits! XD

*applauds at the scenery*

..*squints* I see no tail. There seems to be a lack of tail. Can someone reassure me that there are tails? I\'m panicking o_o

Judge: Are you trying to show contempt for this court, Mr Smith?
Smith: No, My Lord. I am attempting to conceal it.

Dang...

I was kinda hoping that we\'d be able to go off-road in the forests.  :(

Dissapointing for ranger-types who won\'t be able to roam...
Can someone please tell me there are roamable forested areas?  Ones that aren\'t pre-cut?
