Rumour 1.03 this Friday?
« on: June 14, 2000, 05:46:00 PM »
This is not a "when" question but more like a "is it" question. Rumour in the arena was possibly this Friday..

So is this friday a possibility or are we looking at the end of this month? To make the anwering "easier" here are the choices:

soon - this Friday or soon thereafter
awhile - end of month
er.. *cough* - next month

Easy ain't it, and it'll make a lot of us really happy so we can schedule around the game we love... such as ditching the in-laws

Shoot, there's a rumor it's coming out in 5 minutes too, but having started that one I can tell you it's not from a very reliable source.

Well, it's like this.  If we say we're shooting for a date, it means only that.  We're basically sharing internal plans with you.  

If we say we're going to release by a certain date, there's really no reason to doubt us yet.  When we've made those statements, we've come through on them.

As to the former case, it's unlikely we'll go down that road anymore.  It's a lot easier to give folks our worst case scenario than to deal with getting raked over for what we're trying to accomplish, even when we succeed at it.  We release our new versions as soon as they're ready.  We don't hold onto new versions and let them gather dust just so we can have an accurate prediction of when it will come out.  As soon as it's ready, you get it hot of the compiler.

I have this strange vision of 2000 people leaping for there refresh button every Friday around 5 PM CST.  

(Psst Pyro ... A great way to crash this BBS would be to "test" the news forum lightbulb on Friday.  You could put a message called "Version 1.03" and inside it says "... will not be out today."  Now this alone will not crash the server, but the flood of hate messages certainly will.   )

Pyro,

Ya just take your time and make it right.  (As ya always do)  We really dont need it anyways!  We can wait at least another 2-3 months!  So don't let yourself be hurried!    


Thanks!
