Update coming.

When I say 'obvious' I mean very obvious. Stuff like "OMFG server crashes whenever somebody logs in", that sort of level of testing.  After that we make it public and usually for a few days after that there is a few gigabytes of core dump files because players have found all sorts of new bugs.   So the first week of public release is really our #7.  We also have test case documents that we try to use to make sure stuff that used to work still works. 

If we were on step 7 we'd be in game right now.. or well on our way..

don't stop reading.. reading is good.

Well, I understand that dfryer has made some good progress on the portal/camera issue so I will check that out tonight ( still at work at the moment ).  Aside from that we are taking a bit longer than normal to get things up and running.  But I don't see it being too much longer ( a couple of days ).   

On a different note I am a bit glad that people are upset about the server being down.  It means that we must be doing something right if people want to play so bad.  So please bear with us as we get everything back up and working again.   Every patch things get a little better ( even if it does seem worse, it's better just in a different way ).

Can't wait to see it. More places to explore. =D

[Ryvis]

There!! A COUPLE DAYS!!! No more when when when when crying!

[Suno_Regin]

It happens every time the server goes down, even a little 2 minute crash...but it isn't nearly as bad now as it was a few monthes ago.

[Myrthe]

In my 10+ years of Multiuser online games I have seen every angle of players responses during down time.
I normally use this time to enrich my characters background but I am finding contributing to the game itself is more gratifying.

About the 'people will leave because of the down time'. I say let them go. This place drops a gold nugget in thier lap and they drop it becuase its too heavy. Darwin baby, darwin.

sweet i wonder if this will ad the new nightvision mod  

[ThomPhoenix]

New nightvision mod?You must be mistaken some first person shooter.

Although eventually in some distant future PS will also have nightvision for certain races.

[Easton]

why have nightvision before you have places where you will need nightvision?

 

[ThomPhoenix]

^^ Indeed.
The guy must have misread somewhere.

[Ryvis]

Perhaps under the races section... at the bottom some say future versions will have nightvision... for all we know, the dev's are working on that right now......

[Easton]

they aren't, i promise.. they have soooo many other things on their list ahead of nightvision.

Remember.. Pre-Alpha. 

[LigH]

Nightvision already existed ... somehow... as a kind of lighting bug.
