Oh i see... I was hoping that we could get the demo when the game goes gold...
Oh well...

The final Gold load is being tested on as we speak (I believe so, but hey there are so many things going on right now it's crazy

). As soon as it is certified (which means we receive the CD and certify it) we will begin the process to testing the final Gold demo. The demo must be tested, after the game goes gold, before we'll release it to the public. At the rate things have been going I expect that we will release a demo prior to the game shipping. I can't give you an exact date as of yet.

I think you misunderstood something Mortifer... the demo should be available before the game ships, so you'd have it for a while anyway before the real thing shows up on your doorstep.

I'm just hoping to hear an official announcement late this week about it all... just wanted to jumpstart everyones anticipation though
