DR is already in testing under 1.80 and I imagine there needs to be gold disks and the likes (even if it's just download though I believe GOA are doing boxes after the US launch showed a lot of people like to have the CDs)

1.81 _just_ went live in the US - GOA won't see the files for a few weeks till mythic decide it's stable (for reference it took a month for 1.80 to finish)

Would be nice to have 1.81 sooner I agree but I don't see it happening with DR launch.

Yes, I agree with your analysis Flimgoblin.

My point was, that it would be -nice- if they waited with DR release so they could include 1.81.

There is nothing particular interesting in 1.80 for me. However 1.81 is interesting.

If they release 1.80 in February their next patch will be 1.81 + 1.82. Which then most likely won't arrive until late April / early May.

Alternatively, they could ofcourse just do a 1.81 release late February. That would be a first time though and thus seems extremely unlikely considering GoA's track record.

can see how well that'd be taken ;)

"OMGZ THEY DELAYED DR FOR 1.81 WTF?!!!"

I doubt delaying DR would speed up 1.81 anyway.

Technically 1.81 isn't even finished yet. They're still rolling out debugging patches, and it wouldn't be the first time that a single patchnumber has several releases before it's done.

I.e. Pendragon gets 1.81a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, etc. The 'live' version of DAOC on the other servers gets release 1.81a (which contains 1.81a, b, c, d) and 1.81b (which contains 1.81e, f, g).

For all we know, there'll be more 1.81 releases on Pendragon before they decide 1.81 is done. :)

1.80 was kicking around for a month after it released - mainly because people were hitting a cap on the number of abilities you're allowed...
