As folks have seen, we're about to go live. This is really going to happen, holy crap.
We have distinct tasks now to finish, including moving to the production hardware this weekend. Tools have been ported and just need testing at this point so that we can actually manage the game. Fomelo 2.5 is mostly ready, though a few things need fix-up yet. We are nearly done rolling forward 2.0 changes and the code base is frozen now.
While I am still nervous about hard dates, I personally would try to be around next weekend. That's my ideal timeline, though I am not committing.
If you haven't yet gotten 2.5 working, please get that done soon. 2.0 will be SHUT OFF once 2.5 is live! Join #25Testing in IRC (if you don't know how with your IRC client, just post in the normal #sod channel and we'll get you in there) if you are having issues getting set up. PLEASE READ THE FAQ FIRST!
For folks who have helped test, a HUGE thank you! We have had hundreds of bugs reported with impressive detail, and have closed the vast majority. Please stay tuned next week if you have been testing with us, we have some cool rewards set up for folks who have helped us so much over the past several years. .
