I've been pretty quite, so I'd figure you guys need an update on V8's status.

Since the test site opened, I've spent most of my time fixing bugs. Some of you may have noticed that I've also worked on the framework for Clan Battles, but haven't got them set up yet. Was hoping to get them done last weekend, but I WILL have them done by the end of this weekend (one way or another, it needs to happen). With luck, I'll get some work done on Achievements too, though I wouldn't hold my breathe that you'll see them this weekend. Maybe by next weekend though. RL has been kicking my butt.

Once those too changes are done, I'll want to leave the test site open for at least 2 more weeks, in which time I'll work on fixing known bugs and any more you guys find while testing. So the official site opening will probably be around the last week in August. Also, it won't be on a Sunday this time (I'm pretty sure I remember promising KR it wouldn't be ). No exact details yet though as lots can happen. I could get on a coding spree and wrap up the changes this weekend, or I could hit a wall and get stuck for a few weeks. Don't want to push things out too far though as the farther out V8 slips, the later V9 will be out. And looking at my schedule, I'd really like to have V9 out in early February at the latest. Next March looks like it will be crazy...

Go Team!

Got most of the war stuff done. Updated the ToDo list accordingly.
