Well, we are having some additional technical difficulties with the Server. However, the good news is that our latest test patch did work better and cleaner than the previous 7 iterations of the Patch. There is an issue with "Character Delete" not working, but that is something we can fix before we patch live.
So we are looking to Patch tomorrow morning (PST, 10-noonish, should only be down for 1-2 hours) if all goes according to plan now. Normally we do not like to patch on Fridays as it is Indy's Saturday and if something messes up and we need them it can take longer to get a response from them. However, they are aware of this and my contact will be on-call if anything comes up.
Worse case scenario is that we will patch early next week (boy am I tired of saying this), if thats the case...then Ill kick up the XP Rate for the weekend to Triple XP as opposed to double.
For the Templates:
I know its been taking a long time, but we did make some progress last night in that we got a response from Indy for my Developer team to use in their development of the tools necessary for these functions.
The SECOND I have a real ETA for when we will start handing out the I post post a bug shiny update here on the Forums about it.
