ORIGINAL: Erik Rutins Freeboy, We did post earlier that we expected to have it ready by the end of the week after Origins. We're releasing three games at once here (WitP, Starshatter and SPWAW: General's Edition) and this requires not only our involvement but that of Digital River as well. We still had staff flying back on Monday and equipment and hardware returning on Tuesday. I understand that the wait seems interminable, but from where I'm sitting we've been working as quickly as possible, communicating consistently and we're going to meet the goal we set out before leaving. Dave is trying not to raise expectations too much, we've had too many encounters with "Mr. Murphy" over the last few weeks. We'd rather take a day or two to release this and let _everyone_ who is waiting get it with an installer that doesn't have any Win95/Me issues than take that day to churn out just enough copies that a few of you could get it, but not all. The convention was a special case, the wider release is coming less than a week after the end of the convention, I think we will all look back on this in another week and not even remember the delay. [8D] Regards, - Erik Yes, I distinctly remember the Matrix admin staff state end of the week after Origins. For me, that meant EOW Friday, roughly 5:00PM. Anything earlier than that is a bonus. I just hope to have my July 2004 MSDN library downloaded by then....darned thing is coming down at 40K....and that's from Microsoft's servers....
