Status of 8.0

I know that you are attempting to make 8.0 the best thing since sliced bread, and I am willing to wait, but the MM&M community is suffering at a stand-still while we do. I'm just curious about how it is going, if your ready to do more testing, and if you have any idea when 8.0 might be ready. (No pressure.)

to rhys: basically the whole clan has stopped playing mm&m because of the oncoming code reset which was supposed to happen in 2 days, but nobody knows when it is actually going to come. the community needs an update, rhys.

i know you lost data but still we need the inside story please halp

I think that 8.0 should be posted as soon as the codes are reset. It doesn't have to be anywhere near perfect, thats what 8.1 and up are for.

exist thats not what we had planned... the plans were to make 8.0 HUGE.. code reset, near buggless, and loads of new content... so basicaly YES rhys wants it to be near perfect...

Here are 2 realistic options:

Release 8.00 Without code reset: Allows community to start playing again, and help find exploits/bugs/balance issues a lot faster than testing yourselves and such.

Release 8.00 with code reset: Makes the community play a lot more - however imbalances, exploits, abuses etc. may make it so some mages get far too much of a benefit than others, and they have "unfair" mages compared to everyone else for that version.

or option 3 release 8.00test w/o code reset, let tester group of 6 test map fully, kill buts then release 8.00 w/ code reset.

I don't think that posting without code reset is going to make people play again. I guess Rhys is just going to have to work dilligently on the map. I just hope that it will come out some time soon. I guess posting with code reset isn't the best idea.

peas is right it doesnt have to 523% perfect its still in alpha stages

Well, I was kind of hoping to have the game breaking bugs gone and the item system polished to a workable degree. Then of course since it is the reset, now is the best time to do any other major changes to any books.

well get the big bugs out and work from there

well from what I can tell rhys and pyth are bug testing it together a lot so I'm not expecting many bug actually, since dragon ripped the item system open.
