The Wee-News on a stick !

On the skewer this week : The coming patch, the official website and the game servers.
The version 1.62 is still being tested on Pendragon, the American test server and should be patched to their live servers next week. On our side, the patch 1.61 is about half done. Seeing the patching schedule for the 1.62, we will probably jump directly to the 1.62 on the European servers. It is still a bit early to give a more precise date, since we don't know yet if the 1.62 will be big translation-wise.
Official website :
The polling booth entered the testing stage in the middle of the week and no major bug has been detected so far. The first polls should be available in June. We will of course do an announcement for the first official poll.
The server population statistics, which you can check on the official website, have been slightly tweaked, some bugs were fixed and you should find it easier to use and read.
As we announced last week, the Chronicles will not be changed before the coming of the next patch and the new parsing system, getting the information directly from the servers. Next week, we will run the "best" parsing tool we have on each of our servers, understand, the least bugged. It takes about 24 hours for this tool to parse one server ; therefore it will take quite some time to parse everything. The results may vary as well, from "quite ok" to "totally out of the whack", but you should get a pretty good display of the guilds of each server, at least more up-to-date than what we have now, while waiting for the next version of the Chronicles.
Servers :
As announced a couple weeks ago, we are always improving our servers' network and the next server to be upgraded to the nice Bi-Xeon platform will be an Excalibur. No set date for now, but should happen in the coming weeks.
Following the same idea, we have been keeping a close watch on Orcanie's population and have seen it rise slowly but surely. If the curve keeps on moving the way it is now, we could have a new French server spawning this summer.
And that's it ?
Nope. You will also find two new background texts in our Library this week :
Dartmoor
Malmohus
Be sure to check them out !
The promised E3 sum up had to be postponed to next week sadly. You all take care, have fun and raid some keeps until then !
now, the first thing i noticed was the lack of 'stuff'. I mean, basicly its all 'you know that thing we promised you? yeah, yeah that thing you've been waiting ages for (cough, server update, chronicles, date for 1.61) yeah, well you'll have to wait another two weeks'.
Tbh its bloody irritating how Mythic can release larger patch notes/updates every day, than goa can gather up in a week.
Another thing, GOA removed the Marriage thing from 1.60, and haven't added their own version of it.
Yes, they're busy translating, but why don't they hire more people to translate, it takes far too long
