GSL update 6/12/08

Update here

Quote:
We really, really want this up today but... it's not gonna happen... shrug

We are sooooo close but we have to do some final reading and reviewing of the SRD before it can go out live.

I sincerely appreciate everyone's patience and please know we (Linae, Me, and everyone here who has worked on this) want to get this to you. We've worked so long, you've hung in there with us, and we will deliver.

More updates on 6/13!

Thanks

So not releasing on the 6th wasn't due to it being Friday but rather, it just wasn't ready...

I think from what Scott posted it was that it was ready for everything released, but they were adding the framework for everything that will be published in the next year.

Again we are so close. We took on some late passengers and were in the final check list before take-off.

If this thing is ready on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday I am pushing it out live come hell or high water

Gamer or not, this isn't professional. but here's to high hopes for good quality!

Scott and Linae,

Thanks for the hard work. Usually the last few tweaks on a project are the hardest part of it all, and I appreciate you guys going that extra mile to get a more complete GSL instead of putting out an incomplete version just to keep a "street" date.

Maybe you should stop giving deadlines to the community unless you know that you can meet them.

Seriously, the marketing process that Wizards has used since the dissolution of the magazines has been poor. I was a WOTC Delegate for 3e because I believed in the game and wanted to teach others how to play. Currently, I find it difficult to recommend Wizards to anyone.

Wizards is not the same company that I spent copious amounts of time pushing to the local game community.

You and Linae are nice people, but I have to wonder at the change in the corporate culture.

Even though I believed it every time, I eventually got tired of saying, "The GSL is coming soon!" I think everyone got tired of hearing it as much as I tired of saying it. (remember how we referred to 4e as "cool" for so long? "soon" is my "cool") So we decided to start applying real timing.

You and Lin are nice people, but the reality is wake me when your actually ready. I'm so tired of hearing "soon".

Belen has it right: This has been very poor marketing from you(Wotc) for the release of 4e....

Scott and Linae; I am sorry your jobs are so thankless sometimes. If what we have heard from Orcus (Clark) is true, then we have you both to thank for any third party support for 4E at all, and that is no small thing.

I apologise if I have ever seemed rude to either of you in any of my posts; we are just so passionate about this game that sometimes we lose all perspective.

Yes, it's always nicer when someone breaks a concrete promise, rather than a vague one. The angst is so much more satisfying that way. Kidding!
