Lycus -> RE: =ED= August 26th Design Notes: New Old Fortune City RELEASE IS LIVE! (8/27/2011 11:46:15)

I'd just like to thank everyone who understands where we stand etc. - We had been testing all night, and the Devs have been working very very hard to get this release ready.
For everyone else - Whether you think the 'excuse' is real or not, it doesn't change anything. Anyone who had the latest version of Flash will have experienced a lot more graphical lag than normal, and adobe said themselves that it was a problem on their side.
Titan started on a huge change to improve performance, and to fix this issue with the latest flash, after being told by Adobe what was causing the problems. Adobe beat Titan to it, and as you can see they released an update just for us. None the less, now Titan's started, it is literally impossible to release until it is done - Unless you're happy with some main features of the game not working, because they've not been finished?
We've also acquired 3 new testers, who are definitly proving themselves. They both stayed up till 4 in the morning dedicated to the release just for you, as a team we all stayed up, no matter what time zone we were in. At one point though, you do have to call it a day, and get some rest, so no silly mistakes are made.
Something not many of you will know is that Titan and NightWraith had been working over 20 hours straight on the release this morning, they definitely deserved a rest, whether you think so or not. They have been working approximately 2-4 hours extra every day of this week to get it all ready, and if that for you is not good enough, then I deeply apologies if you feel that way - because for me, and most people, that shows extreme dedication.
Now for others saying that you're paying customers, so you deserve these updates on time. I don't think that's an argument at all. If this game ran on membership - I'd completely understand, because this would mean you get less for from your membership, and therefore less for your money. But that is NOT the case. You purchase Varium, which doesn't change at all with time. Whether the update is this week, next week, next month, the amount of Varium you have does NOT change, unless you want to spend it, which is your choice. When ever the release is, it's the same for everyone, you still get exactly the same out of it.
