Perhaps the server had a self realization like H.A.L? The question that drove it over the edge? Which came first, the crystal or the kran... Just think about that one right before you go to bed tonight kids. Or drool on your keyboard. Ok. Well think about it now then. Thats right. Walk away to your fridge and get a carbonated beverage. That\'s because you\'re scared to find the answer, admit it.  :O

Good show on the update. I might check it out. MIGHT. No promises. I might update. Then I\'ll critique it accordingly, via pestering in MIRC.

HAL does not have self awareness, it\'s just an adaptive language parsing engine!

And...Wow.  3 hours already?  Oh well...Pestilence, you STILL have to wait for the rest of us, because the server STILL isn\'t up, for whatever reason -- Hah!  >.<

That being said, would it be safe to assume that by this time tomorrow it\'d be available on the site and via the updater, or should I stop being so antsy?  Or perhaps both...
I am made from the dust of the stars,
And the oceans flow in my veins.
Here I hide in the heart of the city,
Like a stranger coming out of the rain.

     That probably would not be conducive to playing the game:  \"HAL, open the Death Realm Doors please\", \"Hal, are you listening?\", \"Hal?\" followed by HAL saying \"I have a headache at the moment, Sir Right\".

Great, now a machine will replace my wife!

... how is it different?

It looks nice, though is ist only in testing-stage :)

My thoughts on the update after 2 hours of ingame time:
*Foliage stuff - Looks nice, but please give an option to raise the distance in which it\'s shown. Currently it looks a little bit strange.
*Visible Armor - Great Job, but my Kran is still naked :)
*Running speed - Yeah. I\'m a Kran on magic mushrooms! To be honest: I think it\'s a little bit too fast :)
*Lightning - Looks great!
*Sound - I like the new effects, improves ps\' athmosphere a lot.
*Performance - Wow! Nothing more to say.

Short: I like it really much.

Concerning grass: Um. Well, it\'s simply... there :) We didn\'t have actual grass. We had that \"plain\" green texture for the ground, and some flat bushes, some trees, but not actual grass you could see sprouting from the earth.

Woohoo! :D

And perfectly timed too! I just wanted to play PS again some more.

But, since my life just isn\'t made to be perfect, it\'s the AFAIK first time the linux32 binary is out on the same day as the win32 one ...and I have a 64bit machine :]

...hehe, don\'t worry, I\'ve got some serious schoolwork to do stil, so don\'t even think of tempting me to use the 32bit version :P

Read the changelog on the first page ...looks impressive!!! The most importaint thing in it right now, I think, are the NPC\'s. Can barely wait to play, peanuts!

p.s. the \"peanuts\" are intentional ....dunno if the filter is still on, but some might remember peanuty goodness from a while back
p.p.s. yea, i need to sleep more...

I love the new release, I could only walk around 5 minutes before the server crashed, but the grass looks great. Still, it would be nice if we could regulate the drawing distance for it.  
Especially people with a very good graphicscard would like to see hills covered with grass in the distance. The devs really did a great job on this release!  :P
We're not evil. We're simply amazing.
