Heya all, just a heads up so everyone is aware. We'd planned on finalizing the 1.0 beta tommorrow, May 1st. As it turns out, with the absolutely HUGE amount of feedback we've received from you, the player base, the balance considerations for racial/class equality are more complex than a few minor adjustments.

Also on the programming side of the situation, we simply haven't had enough time to add in a few final feature additions this needs to be out of beta.

So, I'm extending the beta to May 8th, 2009.

Because most people were expecting the beta to end tommorrow and they'd get a respec, I will issue a global free respec in the morning, around 6am SL Time to allow people to use it to fix or experiment with their characters.

Balance changes between today, and May 8th, will come with another free respec, and a final global respec on May 8th to mark the end of beta.

I promised double XP this weekend for all CCS sims as a celebration of the end of beta, but, since its not the end of beta, we won't be doing double XP.

We will though, do +2 xp for this weekend, so all sims that are at 8xp will be at 10xp, and all sims that are at 6xp will be at 8xp. Just because I don't want to dissapoint anyone too badly on things I said we'd do.

Thanks for your patience and understanding all, this isn't rocket science of course, but it is time consuming, and...theres only so much time in a day between two people.
