Hey, this is one of those "eventual posts" sorry to make it, but it's been weeks now since we got hyped up about NS4 coming out in the (supposedly) immediate future (though that was never officially said, "The wait is almost over" usually doesn't apply to weeks/months), could we have a little word about progress...?

Perhaps a little "One last bug to tweak" or sometin

The bugtracker is good for that.

Wow, nice. Thanks for the link

Maybe they'll open as soon as the bugs listed as 'major' are resolved?

yea, the bugs will keep on comming, no software is ever perfect

just looking at the list, and seeing bugs pile up, i think that july 4th date is way too optimistic

and here i was thinking they'd let us in for open beta :\

Oh... you mean they didn't tell you? This is the beta test of the new forums.

Sir Sean, DM Starknight

Ah me student daze... I got to 'beta test' Apple Fortran v1.0 one semester, on an Apple 2plus computer.

Brrr. Scary.

July 4th?!?!

"As we speak, the servers are being readied to ship to our colocation facility. Once they arrive, we will remain in closed beta for a few days in order to ensure everything works as expected, and then we'll go live!"

That was like 2 weeks ago, right?

Ah, the good old Apple II... I remember upgrading to an Apple IIe - 128k of RAM and dual 5.25 floppies!!! Then I got my 1200 baud modem and I was King of the Geeks

Wow, that was back when I still used to play PnP (2nd ed)....

Looking at the bug report shows that there is a lot the devs want to get done, and still some major bugs to work out. I personally have gone back to the same mode I was in a month ago - keep playing NS3 and be pleasantly surprised when NS4 comes out. I really thought from all the talk it would be easter weekend, but clearly there is a lot to do and the Devs have lives to live as well.
