Hey everyone, quick update on what's happening next Monday, November 22, 2010. All times are Pacific Standard Time, which is where Los Angeles, California is.

At 9am, I'll be marking all beta registrations to receive their invite codes later in the day. Any beta registrations that come in after 9am will have to wait for our week 3 release on December 6th.

We'll be rolling out some changes to the live beta site and verifying that the code works as intended and doing lots of internal testing.

In the afternoon, when we feel the code base is tested enough, we'll send a newsletter to all users who registered for the beta, even after the 9am cutoff. This newsletter will explain more about what we've been working on, what's in the new release, that sort of thing.

Once that newsletter is sent, I'll work on getting invite codes sent out to everyone who registered before 9am that day, and those users can begin helping with what we'll be calling our "open beta." The Email you'll receive with your invite code will explain what we need from you as beta testers.

It's important to note up front that several things will seem "missing" from the site, such as the forums, leaving comments, rating the games, that sort of thing. Some user profile settings may be available, but as we've already explained, changes you make on beta may get overwritten if you change your AG2 profile later.

The full details of what's going in the beta release, and what major pieces of the site are still missing will be detailed in the newsletter.

Other than questions of "what's in the release" or "what's missing from the release", are there any questions about the process or what will be happening next Monday?

Sorry for the double post 0_o

The URL I gave was a URL for how to work out the time difference between U.S.A. - California - Los Angeles and your city/country

Hope it is useful

He said that 40 minutes ago. I'm getting a bit impatient. What do they need to work on right now?

Newsletter nearly complete (that means it may not be done yet)
a few minor bugs (that could mean anything higher than 2 and lower than 8)

Considering the newsletters haven't even gone out yet, I have my doubts on the open beta being launched today.

Well I guess if it doesn't come out today, then well it doesn't come out today. =(

I think the key word here is: "Patience..."

It's said up front that the release will be today, somewhere between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. (californian time), so it's not 9 a.m. 'sharp'...

Trust me, it's not like they're sitting on their hands, having a blast about us users being impatient! Are they?
*raises eyebrow*
LOL XD

You people are antsy again. Is there something under you? Could have sworn on the 8th, there were bugs everywhere--you couldn't really tell.

Nah, you can do what you want. But if you have to post after post, please make it within 1-2 sentences...if there is a twitter from Ian, it will be posted as such and there really shouldn't be more than one person pointing that out >_>
