U39 Preview 1 Delayed

[Ziindarax]

Well coco also said it would be open late tonight/tomorrow and she would keep us updated on the timeline.

I know that part, but I had thought deleting and doing a completely clean install from the download link would fix any issues mentioned by Coco.

It should. However, the server is not currently open. You can prepare for the time when it opens by doing the clean install now if that's more convenient for you but you will still not be able to long in until the server is open. And, when we are ready to open there will be a small patch that will download when opening the launcher.

Anything still unclear? =]

The first U39 preview has been delayed. If we were to attempt to open at the scheduled time on 6/19 no player would be able to patch up properly. At this moment, I do not have even the most tentative of timelines as to when the preview will be able to open.

but it wouldn't be the first time we tested with out the char copy working. 10 days till end of Q2, you got a bad case of mission creep again ? .

Anything new Coco?

It is looking increasingly likely that we will be able to open tonight. QA is currently in the build verifying that nothing is on fire. So far, so good. When that is finished it will take another hour to deploy the build to Lamannia and then another 15-30 minutes setting all the correct world properties on Lamannia. After that we can open. I am tentatively expecting a 10:30-11:00PM open time. Assuming that happens we will run until sometime Friday.

Release Notes will be posted at some point in the next few hours regardless.

Thanks for all the late night work on a test server. (BTW... if it burns... that's still some learning... better on the public test server and a means to reheat the pizza).
Mmm tasty electrical fire and burning plastic pizza.

Thanks for the solid communication with this.

Awesome! Just in time for when I log in later tonight, hopefully. Thanks for the constant communication

Coco, can you share any details about the reasoning for needing to reinstall the Lama client? It's something I'm sure people on the wiki would love to have some kind of understanding of. Thanks!

[AbyssalMage]

Thanks for the solid communication with this.

I'm just going to second this.

Thanks for the fluid communication. We can be a hard lot to deal with sometimes.

In the meantime, and I know this is annoying, in order to access this preview (or ANY future previews) you will be required to delete your old Lamannia client and install completely fresh by clicking here (which is the same link as listed in the stickied "How to Access Lamannia" thread).

Drats! And double drats!
