The Iron Age has ended! (or is about to at least)
Time for us to move on to the real thing! Or almost at least. My original plan was to open the test site to donors on the weekend after the Iron age ends. Of course that had to end up being THIS weekend. With my kids having their B-day party on Saturday and V-Day being on Sunday, I'm pretty sure my wife would kill me if I tried to spend the time I needed to to the test site launched this weekend.
So my current plan is for the V15 test site to launch the NEXT weekend (Feb 20-21). Not sure the exact time yet, but I'll let you know. hopefully by early next week. As usual, the test site will be open to donors only for a week, then things will be reset and it will be open for all.
In the mean time, it's been a while since we had a nice version Countdown! So all this week and next I'll be doing daily forum posts (every week day) detailing some of the changes I have planned for V15. Looking at my plans, I should have enough info for posts at least through the donor launch. Possibly a few the next week too. I'll start the posts tonight (probably about 12 hours from this post) and have it be a nightly thing this time instead of mornings (I'm not a morning person).
One last note: My HOPE is that the test site won't go for a full age this time since we already had a fun, in between age. I'm shooting for about a month of testing, then cutting things short and going live. To be honest though, that's my plan with about every test site.
But (spoilers), none of my changes should play a huge role in the LB, so there's not a NEED to let it go that far. Fingers crossed I actually get off my butt and get things done this time...
Go Team!
