Huzzah! Maybe I can actually not crash for once!

Yup theres a error in there with Dartan to "Dalton" anyways looks like these are minor updates and a few fixed bugs.

Yea titanic, a few bugs :laughks2: just messin' with you mate. Anyway, maybe this update will take less time than we all thought?

Aye maybe they're planning for a Sept 24th release!

Definitely not the 24th. My guess is sometime next month.

I doubt the 24th.... maybe the 1st?

We can never know for sure..
 

Well we can never know for sure. It could come on September 24th,2010. Remember, most of us thought that Raven's Cove would not be on The Test Game/Server until October. :) :bookishfj7::piratewheelgo2:

Maybe it will come out by the 28th, there's still a few bugs.

I think they'll stall this update like fishing for a little while, and then put a new update a week later.

i think maybe for halloween because it would be perfect with ghosts and stuff

That would be cool, but i think they might release it around October 1st.

Meh, being realistic ( Which is another word for "being pessimistic" ) it should be out by the end of the year. Thats the worst-case scenario; and believe me, I'm full of 'em. Yup sometimes in October, probably. Seeing how fast they fixed these first bugs, maybe they'll actually not do something halfway. Please?

With October 31st being the 3-year anniversary of POTCO, they might be trying to shoot within a week/two week radius of that time. Just a guess.

Aye, someone told me that it was coming out the day after it was released on test, a big fat lie by the way, I don't care what your friend at disney says! Still got some bugs, i bet they'll stall a little more with pointless GM events and bring it right before muertos moon starts. Maybe after.

I dont know, this update is pretty big and cool, but not good enough for a 3 year anniversary. Im guessing they will get it out in the next one to two weeks, then maybe shoot for the next story chapter as the 3 year gift.

Think about it, a Brand new main island that is totaled, the coming of the third year anniversary and second Curse of Muertos Moon on anniversary day, would set the mood right to sack Raven's Cove again:laughks2::piratetongueor4: My prediction on release is within 2-3 weeks, give or take.

me thinks it will be released just in time for halloween, it's not a friendly island to say the least plus all the ghosts and such sounds like halloween to me, they got it out on the test so early so they could fix all the bugs before halloween

im thinking from the 30th to the 1st and from the 1st to the 8th and from the 22nd to the 31st
though maybe 30th of sept if they squash the next wave of bugs like they did this one

"ahh im a bug and disney is actually squashing me and not waisting time with pointless GM events.":laughks2:

yeah. i think this will be on halloween day too. good luck for all!!!
