Even though tea has seen rise in popularity even here in Finland I've never gotten used to it. Nothing beats 1/2 liter cup of coffee in the morning when you browse through forums and news.

Got a couple of hours eventually. I used to drink about 5 cups of coffee a day, freshly ground myself and pure black. I only slept about 4 hours a night.[X(]

It's very rare that I have coffee nowadays. I mostly drink green tea.

Hi guys,

The update needs one more day, so I will be releasing it here as a public beta tomorrow (Saturday). Sorry for the additional delay.

Regards,

good, an eta....now I can set my timer
If the delay came in order to fix all the issues picked up by Elliot in his last raid in the tech section than it's more than ok in my book

Zog! Oh well, got other games I've neglected for too long anyway.
Guess one day more won't hurt.

If they follow the normal pattern the patch will be available at about midnight to 1am UK time.  I'm guessing this is early morning in NZ so he's posting it when he gets up [:D]

Or, I guess its evening time US if its Matrix not Eliott who control when its posted.  Either way, I'm ready for a late night [:D]

It is almost like we are all lined up outside a theatre to buy tickets to openning night at some world premier movie!

Hi everyone,

We're giving it a final internal test before uploading it. It will be released today.

Thank you, Mr. Erik and Mr. Elliot! [:)]

What are the probabilities, I wonder, if in the most unlikely event [8|], some last moment nasty crash bug (or worse) should appear... of course then the 1.5.0.5 beta could not possibly be released today or indeed any time soon... [:(]

But no, alas, such a dreadful, fearful, and terrible perspective cannot possibly happen... [8|] right??

Oh, we loyal and dedicated players of this wonderful game [&o] are very patient, and would gladly wait and wait, until 1.5.0.5 is ready to be released... we have all the time in the world... patience is a virtue, and good things come to those who know how to wait. Now, if I only knew how to wait, hehehe [:D]

Waiting is easy, we have time to deal with the other stuff....real life I think it's called; at least, that's how I remember it's called.
