"Anet please if its not going to be tonight, please make a news update that says there will be no realse of sorrows furnance so that i can stop checking every 15 min." God i think i'm to addicted to this game (i'm so pathetic).

I also figured out today that summer isn't technically over for another 5 weeks. Seriously i don't think i can wait that long if they release this on the last week of summer. I sure hope the wait is going to be worth it!

If Sorrow Furnace was coming out today it would be out already, because they have already updated the news with some stupid wallpaper.

The biggest thing i want to see which i'm not really putting to much hope into it, is some new armor. Maybe it can be gotten from the collectors like the awesome desert armor sets

they've put out updates pretty late before, and usually the wallpaper comes first and then the update. But i think i've come to the conclusion that it's not going to happen today , i just wanted to see if there are other people doing the same thing i am

While I to am checking every 15 mins, my guess is they won't put it out on a wednesday, due to it be a much larger update, more of a small expansion, and I would guess they would want everyone to have an equal chance at it before people start trying to ruin it with all their farming... so my guess is a friday, but I would love to see it sooner

Because the majority of the updates have come out on wed. the major pvp update came out wed. the first real major update came out on a wed. From what i've seen all the major updates have happend on wed.

in fact i find on most post people referring to wednesday as update wednesday. So Wednesday just makes sense to me for sorrows furnace to come out on.

Yeah, we're not going there. It's Summer Update and summer it will be!

Now, the idea of some sort of Fall Update does have a certain appeal. *thinks Halloween*

I dunno, hon. 5 weeks and summer is "officially" over. A lot of us are really bored with finding other things to do while we wait.

Is that to say we might get a fall update too, or just wishful thinking?

Might just add haloween GW for the fun of it. Like a special night in-game where there's some major prizes for the freakiest lookin costume (*cough necros cough*).
And maybe everyone gets a random item that's all of a certain quality (max, gold, purple, blue, minor, major, sup rune, ecto.......)

*sighs* the update will coem when the update comes. we all want it to be sooner rather than later but i would rather it come as bug free as possible. i am sure they are testing it over and over atm to find bugs. my mon ey also says it will come out next wednesday and not sooner.

Well putting all the information together. I have been trying to work out when it will be.

1. The frog says before the Equinox 22 September

2. This leaves a Minimum of 36 days.

3. Of that there is a possibility of 5 possible Update Wednesdays 24th 31st 7th 14th 21st

4. From a devs point of view the latest Wednesday is 21st 1 day before equinox. Which gives them maximum time to get it right and still deliver for summer 2005.

I think a week before Wednesday the 14th the fanfare will start rolling out. Press releases websites informed ECT. Big 7 day count down. ECT

It will not be a quiet update with no publicity will it. You will know well in advance

21ST SEPTEMBER IS THE BIG DAY OR I WILL RUN ROUND ASCALON IN MY UNDERWEAR.

Any takers

I guess I don't see the point in not giving us a release date. Is Anet still trying to get all of the bugs out? Or do they want to see how impacient we become? (Testing the water for the expansion?)

I know Anet does not owe us anything including a release date but at some point they have to realize that no game/expansion is prefect at release. Does anyone remember the constant date push back of HL2? You can hide the real date and try to fix everything bugged but no game is perfect. In the end there will be bugs (HL2 St...Stu...Studdering) and then everyone will complain that they had X number of time to fix it and did not.

Just my 1.5 cents

That depends--what profession are you?

Some of those guys just look better in their underwear than others, you know what I mean.
