El Patron's Lost Weapons Unveiled! - April 21, 2010

[Edward Edgemenace]

The "Current News" is a Disney-internal blog. The public-facing side of the blog is cached so that they have a buffer before stuff is released to the general public. The RSS-feed from the blog is what feeds the "current news" that appears on the left side of launcher1.exe, but that has an additional level of caching (always a step further behind for an additional buffer.) Apparently, the brand new staff at Disney isn't down with the system...the Apache "squid" servers show them the full listing on their intra-net (where they get to seed comments for blog entries, if they so choose) but they obviously don't think to check and see how it looks from the Internet.

Hint for Disney: when you post the "next" news item, the previous news item is finally pushed to the public servers.

This isn't the first time they've goofed by about a week. The "defeat a skeleton" contest thing was announced on the last day of the week-long event...presumably so the "winners" could be informed in advance, while nobody else knew about the contest until it was over. Was it coincidence that they broke the leaderboards around that same time?

LOL!

Silly me! I had to update the event on our guild's site to fix the dates. Interesting. Wonder why they decided to postpone the event from last week.

Ooh, does this mean that we have to find a magic time traveling staff to teleport us all back in time! ( I'm being sarcastic fyi ).

Blah, well I was probaly not going to go to it anyway, too many 'WHEREZ DA KRAKN" people.

I can just see annoying noobs drawing their weapons constantly, pestering, getting KO'd by the GM's,,, nah, I'll pass,,, meeting GM's for a story telling it's gonna be as much fun as getting sunk at the very end of an EITC expedition,,, and missing it while you are breaking out of jail....

BTW, can I purchase the time warp sloop from the shipyard or is it fight drop?

Okay. A few hours ago I left them a comment pointing out their mistake

Now I just checked and they've updated their news item : it is 24th and 25th, confirmed.
