Shirik may come in and correct me on this but ...

I don't think we're going to make our target of having the first Beta version ready for tomorrow (17 May).

We had something come up last week that we weren't expecting, so one of the things that we wanted to have in place and tested before we released it to all of you got bumped back.

Now, as I said, he may come in and correct me, but I think we are probably looking at bumping it back at least one week (24 May), possibly more.

Sorry guys.

That's why me, and many others, do not like giving out "ETAs" on things being released in the future. It only gives false hopes. Most often ETAs are not reached (go figure

).

Not a problem for me; a good product needs time.

Probably a good thing for me, I'm sure I would have spent all day playing with it instead of revising, now it'll be out when my exams are over!

Yeah, we were really hesitant about giving a target date, but we were getting so much pressure ...

I am certainly excited about seeing Minion happen, but I want to see it happen well. Nintendo had a good idea in coming out with mini-disc technology for their systems, but they rushed it, and GameCube happened. I'd rather not see Minion turn into GameCube.

I have high expectations, and I'm willing to be patient enough to see them met. ^^

I have to say I don't exactly agree with Cairenn here, and still think it can come out tomorrow. However, I'm all with you guys in that I don't want to release a poor implementation.

A few things do need to be addressed, however I still think we can hit the 17th. We'll see how things go.

I still want to hit that date.

|Yes, but I think they live in the US orsomething, if you read the post times.

OK, so I get it's not today, sad to say, but I get worried when I read the "wait till it is ready for release" We are waiting for a BETA release right? I mean there will be problems, some probably major for the first few weeks (months?) that's what a BETA is. So release it when you want, its your toy. Hope its soon but I know there will have adjustments to make. Good luck, thanks for all your effort.

They never said for sure its not today. The actual person working on it said he is really pushing to get it out today.

So where are we going to be able to download the beta at?? I am really looking forward to 1 universal updater for all my mods.

This is almost as fun to watch as all the people that were behind me in line while picking up WotLK and the cashier going "we only have 4 boxes left!".

tinyu · 05-24-09, 07:26 PM

Sucks about Shirik without net. Ah well. When it's released I'll be glad to try it, and happy to wait until then since I know it'll be worth it.

LittleWhiteDove · 05-24-09, 09:41 PM

No one in their right mind would expect the release of this when the author does not have proper internet access. Since I am in my right mind (at least I think I am) I will gladly wait a few more hours/days or whatever for this to be ready. I know it will be worth the wait.

tinyu · 05-24-09, 10:38 PM

there are still places that dont haz intranets??? thats unpossible.
