Your thinking two dimensional on this issue, I believe if they were going to release a patch on Friday, its compiled, tested, and ready to go on Monday at the latest. I don't believe they worked until the last minute and because of some quick error quickly called every mirror they could use and tell them not to release it. Plus, speaking on the dimension of time, if it was truly ready to go when the patch was leaked but it had a quick error, why is it taking so long to release the official 1.2 patch now. I truly believe that this patch is taking longer than expected and they wanted to keep people interested in a broken game.

Good work CA if this is true.
