Thanks guys! That's....fascinating news. If I had a goatee, I would stroke it in contemplation. For several hours. Though that would make it hard to do my job. *strokes imaginary goatee, contemplating contemplation*
I'm going to go out on a limb and speculate that "several hours" means that they are going to run a process over the production database that can't be run while the game is open and changing. IE, everything in the DB must be converted before the DB can be used again, and the only reason to do THAT is to change everything in the database, and the only reason to do THAT is to support new software. So, Glitchen, cinch up your belts and queue behind the velvet rope - I think this is it.
Request: some of us have a full workday ahead, and other obligations. Could early adoptees please start a thread describing what they find?
