It's really nice to see some communications from G1 while we all wait. In light of how we were treated by the likes of Acclaim this is relatively refreshing even if the daily update is a little light on details. Hyperion uses words like "within the next few days", and "later this week", and "Over the evening and throughout the week". It's safe to say that the game isn't going to up and running on September 1st as many people (including me) had hoped.
As TS said in a comment, "we'll see" has become the new "soon".
In good news Menandore just posted her submission Red Crowned Crane to our league deco event and let me tell you, it's fantastic. This sort of creativity is just what I was hoping for when I built that league event. And you know what? I Want MOAR!!!
We're not playing the game, so you've all got time on your hands. Let's see more deco ideas!
Update: Sept 1 Hyperion's latest update is actually for Aug 31, but because the G1 office is in Irvine, CA we don't normally see it until the next day. We Bardo players often had the same problem with Acclaim and I hope G1 and Hyperion will start to take the timezone difference into account a little more often.
Anyway, again his update didn't really say much but one thing that is very clear? Hyperion knows he has a limited amount of time to get this game up and running again. In his own words...
Again, I just wanted to say thanks to the community for being so supportive. I know the support won't last forever, unless we deliver on making significant advances in the game, which we WILL do.
We're all still at the stage of trolling each other on the forums and comparing notes about withdrawal symptoms. If you haven't read that thread yet, you should. It's one of the funnier ones so far.
So, I really have no news for you again today, and in this case "no news" isn't really "good news". Let's hope for better, soon.
