Our next beta release, code named Falchion, will launch on Monday, December 6, 2010.

The standard times apply, and are all in Pacific Standard Time, which is where Los Angeles, California is. To convert it, you can visit this time zone site.

At 9am, I'll be marking all NEW 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 next release on December 20th.

We'll be doing lots of internal testing before we roll out any code to the live beta site, and as usual, I will post our progress on my twitter feed.

In the afternoon, when we feel the code base is tested enough, we'll send our next beta newsletter to ALL beta users. This newsletter will explain more about what we've been working on, what's in the new release, that sort of thing.

The newsletter Email you'll receive with your invite code will explain what we need from you as beta testers.

Once that newsletter is sent, I'll send out any invite codes for new beta signups up to 9am that morning.

It's important to note up front that several things will seem "missing" from the site, such as the forums, etc. This is to be expected, because we're rolling out the beta in phases where we add new features every two weeks.

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.

I've been talking to Freakenstein through the Activity Stream and my armatar is displayed as one of those colored shields. For some reason, the color of the shield always changes upon refreshing.

My armatar is the wolf that I had about a week ago. I haven't checked out the new features yet. I guess I should go do that now then.

Um, I received an email that tells like everything about AG3 beta, but it didn't give me an invitation code? Are you sending another email soon?

Sorry Outstanding..

we're going to need to hold off sending new invite codes to users. Hopefully we'll know how well it's doing by the end of the week and get invite codes out then.

Not all armatar settings from AG2 made it to AG3, we're looking at that, so users who don't have an armatar setting will get a randomly-chosen shield color whenever you refresh the page. Hope to have that fixed this week.

if we can get some of these bugs squished this week, I'll send out the invite codes. It's a significant enough number of users to warrant holding off until some of these bugs get fixed first.

Not sure if this is bug or not but BB codes are not working on profiles.

Also while on the activity stream it says there are 32 comments but it only shows 25/25.

I just have to say that "Falchion" is probably the most BA codename ever. Well played, well played.

i'm not following or have anyone following me at the moment, but when i post things in the activity stream whenever i refresh my armatar is the shield that changes color every time i refresh. I wish i had someone to follow. oh well, i guess i'll just have a conversation with myself, and since every post has a different colored shield that changes color upon refreshing, it actually looks like multiple people posting.
