Everyone has different definations of the word 'easier' it seems....

I meant easier as in 'turning my brain off after a long day' easier

And back on topic...any word on the patch? Should it be out before xmas? After? Next year?

IW has said they have the patch done (or mostly) and it's sent to Shrapnel. Which we assume is to be customized to each OS. I think the nearest accessment is "soon"

Good news is that Dom2 was released 1 day prior to it scheduled release; so they don't take the customary '3 weeks after they promise' which is the norm of other gaming companies.

Our Solaris man has been sick for a little while which has delayed the patch a few days. But we still expect it to be released before christmas.

I understand there's some benefit to moving all the platforms at the same time, but waiting for Solaris seems a bit... well, I'm guessing you can count the number of Solaris copies sold on your fingers.

Then again, for all I know this is the only game you can actually buy for Solaris.

Any updates as far as what changes will be made with the upcoming patch?

Any new creatures/beings, new magic_sites or new events??

Of course, but when the patch comes out, unless it's horribly bugged, no MP game will use the original anymore. Meaning, if someone in an MP game is using Solaris, they'll have compatibility problems, most likely.

So, releasing all Versions at the same time makes a lot of sense.

Bad news, suddenly I'm pretty sure the patch will be delayed a week or so.

Illwinter has suffered from some bad events, we have two non working internet connections and one broken down computer. I knew we shouldn't have chosen the turmoil +3 dominion.

Sorry to hear that. Your too far off for me to offer any help.

I thought we had the Turmoil 3 dominion over here... enough candles to push it abroad too.

I think it's just your ISP that has "turmoil".
