From News:

"Monday, December 06, 2004 Release delayed until Tuesday
The new version, featuring the introduction of the Bounty System and various fixes, will be released tomorrow (the 7th)."

Guild tends to release late in the night of the target day, or early in the morning, depending on what time zone you are in.

On a related note, it has come to my attention that some people are under the mistaken impression that a patch was due 11/29 and had not been delivered. I ask that those people read "In Progress" again:

" After Monday 11/22 to 11/29 - Additional Addons, bugfixes, etc.

Once the Mining and News systems are in place, we also have a number of designs in the works for new addons (radar mods are likely, and other things), as well as further ship changes, improvements, and announcement of our next Big Feature Goal."

Note that this was a statement of what was being worked on, not a promise of a patch or update.

Wohoo! Patchday!

I love patchday, its like ... christmas :D

The new version, featuring the introduction of the Bounty System and various fixes, will be released tomorrow (the 7th).

Happy Birthday to me! :D

THX.

Happy B'day CIP, at least that didnt get delayed huh?

Wheres my bounty, i should have one just for being me! heh

I know, be patient young jedi, moo?

[Edit]

I do not care if it is not CIP's b'day, he deserves one every day! and pie! =D

Patience, young grasshopper. Those who hurry to catch the butterfly get dizzy very quickly.

There was once a young man who foolishly joined the Navy. He very soon came to regret this decision, but by then it was too late. As the newest member of the ship, he was assigned all of the worst jobs, and was worked from sunup to sundown. As he crawled to bed late one night following his traditional peeling potatoes for the next day's meals, he consoled himself that tomorrow was his birthday, and work him as hard as they could, they couldn't take that away. Then he woke up and found that they had crossed the International Date Line.

Happy b-day CIP, hope you enjoy it.

I might be wrong, but I thought CIP was just saying "Patch day is like my birthday"

But anyway...

PATCH DAY! YAY!

:D really my B-Day today. But one gift is still missing...

Come on Devs!

Thank you all, Chris

i really think 'staying up all night' once every two weeks is a horrible idea. the body and mind are not built for that.

You're right. Poor devs. Maybe make the patch for the 8th? ;)

Why dont you guys just work on it all week?(unless thats what your already doing or your busy with other stuff)I dont wanna be mean, but has a single update(an update that added new things)ever come on time or before around 12 midnight?

by whatever day, it means until they call it "I'll do it tomorrow" (or sleep), so it's still Monday for them if it's like Tuesday 2AM or so on.

Does anybody know what time roughly this'll happen?

And what happens if you're playing when the update comes out?

Only one way to find out smittens :))

smittens, they give you a warning countdown so you can logoff.

Typically they release late at night/early in the morning, depending on your time zone and frame of reference. It's usually the wee hours of the morning their time.

So really, we(Eastern Standard Time) won't have the update till tomarrow?
