Yeah, I know. It's frustrating. It's frustrating for us, too.

Here's the deal: we have a build, and it hung at the 99.99% bar. There is one issue that has proven to be incredibly elusive, and it's causing a massive lag on the server. Overall, the game feels pretty good. We're still working through power-related bugs -- all the underlying system changes we made this milestone have caused a crop of them, but frankly that's expected and we're working them through at a good clip -- but I'd be OK with putting those in front of you. Overall, I think combat is in a much better shape than 5.100, even with these new issues.

But the server performance issue is a killer. Any kind of reasonable player load (and I have reason to suspect we'll hit that) causes this problem to emerge, and it makes the game unplayable. Which would be even more frustrating.

As to "when", the truth is, we don't know. We have top men working on it. ("Top. Men.") We continue to be in a day-for-day hold pattern until we get this issue resolved.

Thanks for your patience. Hopefully it'll be soon.
