It looks like we will not be able to get U19 out on Monday, as we found an issue with the Henneth Annun landscape that we want to correct prior to going live with the update. We're still looking at next week for U19, though. Stay tuned for a more specific time frame.
*APPLAUSE*

This is the fortunate part about being more open about things. When you find out today that there is something that will prevent the update from going live when originally announced, you tell us about it TODAY. Players like to be informed. I can appreciate that sharing this type of information before it's official and written in stone can cause a little extra work for you when things don't work out exactly as planned, but you're clearly doing that extra work to make sure the players know as much as you're permitted to tell them. THAT IS AWESOME.

In addition, when situations like this have arisen in the past, I can say that the response from players is almost always along the lines of: "We'd rather have you take a few extra (days, weeks, test builds, etc.) to get it right than to rush content out with known errors just to meet a deadline." Not sure WB feels the same way...but that's another show.

Long story short (too late!), THANK YOU FOR THIS. The effort is truly appreciated.
