so please don't try to make me look like a whiner when from my post it is clear i'm am just curious as to how well things are going for them.if you misunderstood my post because of the mention of gaile being asleep,it was simply remark towards the fact of how late it is over there and therefore is understandable if she has gone catching zzzzz's.
Not trying to make you look like a whiner, all I'm saying is Gaile/Alex and everyone else at A-Net have obviously more important things to worry about than posting progress updates on here after already making an announcement.

No need to be curious, it's broke and they're trying to fix it.

Update: Progress is moving along. It doesn't look as if it will be too terribly long now. Please know that you will need to grab a new build, but the event will not start for a few minutes after you've returned to the game. Do not panic! The event will begin a little bit after the new build!

Thanks for the Heads Up Gaile. I would rather something be done right rather than have a rushed terrible event etc.. Keep up the GREAT WORK!

Hey, if this were WoW, they would have released the weekend on time with the corruption in the archives and we would have been having massive problems for the first two days until they realized "oh wait, that corruption really does cause harm, hmm."

ANet's policy of getting it right the first time is what impresses me, even if I have to wait a few more hours.

Thank GOODNESS I didn't wait up until 3am last night though

I'd just like to quickly salute you all, Gail and fellow posters both - if this was any other MMO (and I'm thinking of the official forums of one in particular) then the excrement would have hit the rotating air moving device in a big way.

Milk and Cookies to the person who guesses the other MMO in question...

No ETA on completion, but good news that the archive is in their hands, and they're continuing to work on it.

Once again, we apologize for the delay, and will have things going as quickly as possible.
When I finish my studies in about 3 years, I'm going to work for A.net so this never happens again.

More time to think of my characters name. Im glad the decided to sort it before the event, would ruin it otherwise. Maybe this is what all the error 5's last night were about.
