questions on next patch

I'm curious as to whether we'll be able to do an in game upgrade when the next patch comes out. I'm asking this because I'm considering starting another pbem game - is the patch arriving quite soon (ie weeks) or later rather than sooner?

thanks

good question - but i doubt you'll get a definitive answer since it has not been the policy to reveal exactly WHEN a new patch will come out...

However, i think since one came out just recently, you'll have many weeks (probably) before another one shows up.

Whether a restart is needed depends on if database changes are made... and that is not known ahead of time.

Well, even when database changes are made, a restart is not technically "required". But it is "required" if a person wants to pick up the database changes.

We currently have no completed items on the list for a next patch, so I suspect it will be at least 3-6 months before there is another patch. As to data changes, Pry is working that project. When his data changes are done, we will release a patch containing them.
