My question still is WHY is their a
delay? We have been told countless times by Overlord about how
patching will be simultanious across all servers since Beta. And
still we see a delay. Are you not confident that your
patches will work or something?ChrisK:
There are several reasons. For one thing, updating a server cluster is no simple task, and updating several at the same time magnifies the headache several times. Additionally, we have to edit for linguistic adaptation, the support team has to be prepped for questions and issues, and a completely separate build has to be created. Finally, we want to make sure there's no "fatal flaw" that kills the game somehow. Look at it this way - we're testing on them so it works for you!
Having said that, we fully expect patch releases to go much more smoothly now than they did in beta, and the time between cluster patches shouldn't be more than a week unless something goes horribly wrong. Like zombies invade the host facility. Or worse, zombies get inside of our tanks!
