asking them when the beta will come out would be like asking blizzard when there new game is gonna come out
obviously 3 delays and a year after the orginal date site back, relax watch a movie
and one day you will come here and see a sticky saying Open Beta Released
and you will be happy rather than merely relieved that it finally came out
ive been hearing all sort of stuff about you guys at eb having delays (and i understand)but i would like a geuss bout when the mod will be out.(and plz dont say when its done or soon,i want a little more specific answer plz)What criteria would you like me to use for this guess?

Ok, well here's another one. Will there be any warning given that 'it's really going to be done quite soon now, in fact maybe within a week or two, perhaps maybe' or will you keep saying 'when it's done, no idea could be any time between now and when the eurasian and american tectonic plates collide' until we wake up one morning and theres an inconspicuous lil sticky saying 'Open Beta download links' ?

Well, according to the Book of Revelation, the moon will be of the colour of blood, a cloud of ravens will fly backwards, and parties of screeching hurling-head women will ravage the world, just before the download links are posted...
Come on, lads. Be a little patient.
The end of the wait may be near... ~:rolleyes:

I kind of like the latter, heart-attack inducing release.
Or maybe "Countdown to Open Beta - Rome" but then "Surprise! No preview here, but you get to play Rome if you like!"

I don't understand.
It seems to me that if they knew that it would take a couple of more weeks they would hint that. They have already reapeted again and again that they found some core problems that need to be adressed. And there is absolutly no way they can predict when they will solve the problem. All they know is that it will be solved, one way or another. So let's just wait.

well...since modding projects never keep 1 deadline..wich is very understandable. I'm guessing the latter will happen.
a while ago wiht diablo2 (very old. i know) just 2 days before the release 2 screenies were shown. the entire community was jumping up and down. members online were three times more than usual. server lag. it was a complete madhouse.
so EB. surprise us. do a prank, release it tomorrow or something ~;)
yes I like Jerbys' Idea just release it tomorrow everybody will be surprised!
And we all know you like to shock people. We haven't forget that april fools joke you know.
yeah..another plus is i come around here every day. so if they announce it, the download-sevrer will be overloaded...but like this, EB will slowely drip into the community.
for the first day...

hmmm. Lets see. How about reading a freaking preview, you stinker? The EB team has only released, like, I dunno, a QUAZILLION-BAJILLION previews already?!
Satisfy your "hungry hungry" soul with your "thinking thinking" brain and your "looking looking" eyes.
My God. I'm dumber for having been a part of this.

ahem. You'll never guess our high and holy password unless you're a high priest of the inner sanctum of the great and Awesome Temple of Abokasix. Pantheon priests not allowed. Suffice it to say it's the most HOLY word of all Bartixdom. And Urania too, while we're at it. To say it without the proper rites and cadences of plaintive hymn would shrivel up your reproductive organs, whatever they be, and cause you to explode in a fine mist of blood. To the unprepared ear of he who hears it, he never will hear anything evermore, or see anything, or breathe anything... he shall simply cease to exist, which is a passing mercy of the great and mighty Abokasix, who cannot bear to see an innocent devotee feel pain from the puissant munificence of his smileys.
If you were unable to see the picture, then surely you have been deemed unworthy by the awesome Khelvan who is in a pantheon of his own. It is counselled that you go home and do some soulsearching and repent your sins before coming back to try again.
On a serious note: I have recently been admitted into the pantheon of EB and I have perused all their godly secrets, and never once have I seen a mention of their release date. Believe me, you humble supplicant, we don't even know it ourselves. *gasp* Unless, of course, you count...three and a half weeks ago? =P
Burn a little more incense for us, willya, while you're still here? ;-)
And in return, I will reveal unto you the faction sigil of the next faction to be previewed... thus. *points to signature*

Actually I do know the release date, how you might ask- simple I just PMed Khelvan and he PMed me the release date of the open Beta as:
"ad Calendas Graecas"(Being Khelvan who he is naturally one could not expect a simple open answer.)
The English translation being at the Greek Calends. Now I have no Idea when the Greek Calends start ,though there are several classical scholars on this Forum who could tell us the precise date, so we will just have to ask around. ~:cheers:

The Greeks had no calends.

Now, theres a good chap.Oh, pardon me, you seem to be right. Well, I'll give you a hint. It's exactly 44 characters long, and all the characters are letters of the alphabet. Now you just have about 181,479,389,957,222,298,250,355,013,039,010,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 possibilities to consider! I mean, think about it, I just reduced your burden by probably 500+ orders of magnitude!
(And no, I'm not joking about the length. Or the number of possibilities. I told you, Aymar is insane.)
Speaking of which:
well i tried bartix and that didnt work, so only 3,000,745,387,975,099,293, words to go :help: Ahahaha. You wish.
could be any time between now and when the eurasian and american tectonic plates collide'That would be quite a long time considering they are moving away from each other!In a general sense, yes, but seeing as they're presently touching, I expect they brush against each other a bit. If that doesn't count, I'm sure they'll change directions eventually! And then we get submarine mountain ranges . . .
Finally a man after my own heart- that was fast, I was waiting to see how fast someone would realise that the greek have no calends ~D -Blast, I was about to say that! Remembered the phrase from my Latin phrasebook, Amo, Amas, Amat, and More.

so...what are your REAL hobby's when you count those letters...
The "w" is in brown.
that meens I've missed a letter myself too!

Pa's wijze lynx zag vroom het fikse aquaduct.

There's a sentence in Wa language that reads:
Wawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawa
and has exactly 44 letters.
It means: "The golden curly hair that ornate your head glitter under the fiery sun.". It's all about entonation and context. ~D

thats the weirdest, and most disturbing, sentence i've ever read...
as a translations:

I wish my dad had a wise lynx.

Mine does.
44 letters long, it's not english (or anything recognisable as any other language, though I have it by heart) and to quote khelvan, 'reads like a 128-bit encryption hash'. So don't even think about it :-D
