OPEN release notes 2/25/09

[Sven Niscadae]

I'm probably going to be the only one to say that I'm fine with it. Call me crazy, I guess.

I really didn't see any issues on Test that made the game unplayable (for me at least). I'm more annoyed with modifications to things that worked fine (e.g. sailing compass). Overall, I'm thinking most bugs are on a per user basis and aren't widespread to everyone. I'm sure when D tests the reported issues, they aren't seeing them. I know I'm not seeing at least half of the issues that people in the Helm have reported. I think the other part of why Test seems whacked up is that it's not a pure certification environment. By that I mean the conditions aren't the same on Test that they are on Open (server specs, load, etc).

But hey, at least they gave the new Tortuga more time than Port Royal, right?

You can't have your rum and drink it too, you know.
