And to address Neonivek, Yup I do have a bit of rumor monger in me

Well, now I know who to go to when I need to hock some fish.

[Brotato]

Less than three weeks till beta. That is all.

Like I haven't heard that before... 
I wonder if the beta will already have multiplayer support.

Hemmingjay has been promising beta in under a month since June I'm pretty sure. It's kind of strange that Chucklefish didn't address multiplayer when they posted about the beta.  But since they never said it wouldn't be in any of the early stages then maybe it's safe to assume it will be there?

If you mean I have been saying playable client in Mid to Late November, then yes I have been saying this for about 3 months now. If you mean that I have been saying it will be out within 30 days repeatedly since June you would be mistaken.


And to address Neonivek, Yup I do have a bit of rumor monger in me in that I have a connection to this studio who gives me information that they believe to be accurate and I share it here since there seems to be an interest in it. So far, only once has my information proven to be incorrect. The rest of the time, it has been in line with the same vague statements that they later publicly disseminate to us all. I am working on two major games that will be released in early 2014 and I exchange information with two team members on Chucklefish's team. The stuff that I tell them is accurate but sometimes must be partially obfuscated for legal and professional reasons. I assume they do the same in return.

For roughly 3 months I have been told that the most likely window is November 18-21 and I continue to believe that to be accurate unless a major snafu occurs. If you have more free time than I do, you could look back and see when it was that I first shared that info, but I am almost certain it was more than 2 months ago.

In June/July you were saying there was a good chance it might get released in August.  But since then you've said November pretty consistently.  Sorry I didn't differentiate that better.

I do not mean to offend you or anything, however I am a bit suspicious of this statement.

[Solifuge]

As someone who has webstalked Hemmingjay for professional purposes, this statement checks out. >_o

Yeah, I don't doubt that statement either.

Though he did block me! ARG!!!

Mind you, for a good reason and I don't think he is actually "avoiding" me. So much as trying to limit communication between us because I complain a lot.

Yeah, Hemmingjay has repeatedly proven to be involved enough in the industry to have in-studio contacts in random spots. I trust him on that. And totally not because he's the most generous person on this board. :V

[umiman]

Yeah, there's no doubt that Hemmingjay is in the know.

However, I personally think all the leaks he provides are counterproductive to his intentions. To this thread anyway. Imagine the Bay12ers who watch this thread as a poverty stricken African nation. Hemmingjay being the NGO donating free food to the masses. I have no idea where I'm going with this analogy but I promise you it's very profound.

Anyway, at the end of it, Hemmingjay is just fueling flamewars because the populace has no idea how to properly handle the gifts.

[Flying Dice]

But who are the warlords?

[Neonivek]

The reason I doubt Hemmingjay's words is mostly because even if the source is real, the information is inaccurate in it of itself.

They are guessing that they will be ready in Nounvember.

[Knight of Fools]

But who are the warlords?

The decision makers. They're the folks who steal or block the food (Games) when it's just about ready for release, and make us wait a little longer.

...I feel like a bad person, comparing my lack of a particular game to starvation in Africa...

Now get into the corner of shame and stay there until told otherwise!

Are we (Bay12) going to have any server set up in the first day or two so we can all experience multiplayer?

I would prefer to play alone a bit first, learn how to play the game and do stuff without getting any potential spoilers from chat.
So I will not be joining any servers at day 1.

[Max White]

I would prefer to not have to deal with slow internet on top of bugs for a while...

If servers are a thing I will certainly be hosting one. Whether that is the 'official' bay12 server is up to you guys. I usually host servers for these games and they are super popular for like a month and then nobody logs in.
