well here we go ..

just another quick look to see if there is any news, multiplayer has been picking up lately and with the changes that will be implemented to the server base fairly soon (when 3.610 is validated ) is the multiplayer 3.6.10 bug tested as you said in an earlier post the multiplayer has been around for nearly a year now , i spend quite a bit of my spare time running through the multiplayer games in 3.6.10 and testing so if you need a hand to get it ready for the server changes please give me a shout ........

keep up the good work

We are really sorry to disappoint you, the Saga team knows there are a lot of fans out there waiting for the multiplayer part, but unfortunately we still don't have the MP part out.
At the moment we are focused on finishing a lot of cool features and polishing our missions for Single player.
But we are really confident that MP will be released somewhere between June 2009 and .....July 2669
Stay with us, we are all hard working here!

Re: multiplayer missions
Multiplayer patch for the Prologue is kinda finished. Not that it will be released soon, but that is a different story.

Now that's just cold.
The cake is a Lie.

 They littered the beach as dense as a crowded Tokyo street during a Final Fantasy release riot. The slow, tottering advance only heightened the suspense of this freakishly ironic scene.

The turtles were revolting,
and nobody could stop them.

First they came for the Jedi,
and I did not speak out.
because I was not a Jedi.
Then they came for the giant robots.
and I did not speak out
because I was not a giant robot.
Then they came for the Nerds,
and I was screwed.

Re: multiplayer missions
3.6.10 comes with a few enchancements, that result in compatibility issues with 3.6.9 data set. The mp patch fixes them to some extent, yet it might break single player part. I don't have time to fix all of the issues since we have to keep up with our timetable for the main release. I am not being cold, I am acting in the best interest of the project.

Re: multiplayer missions
Is the issue with the code for 3.6.10 itself or the data you added for multiplayer? Cause for the former I can see your point as it is likely to be a big support problem if you have to have two different builds for the game. If it is the latter however, you could do what TBP are doing and release the multiplayer upgrade as a mod for the original release (Preferably in a folder simply called multiplayer) rather than putting it in the main folder where it can interfere with already released content.

Any news on the multiplayer patch? It's Christmas time, and I thought that we'd hear a bit more about this.

well thats just silly , it has been mentioned and known for a long time that 3.6.9 was going to die a death in the multi side of things and i assumed that with all the new features needed for WCS it would at least be using a modified 3.6.10 or 3.6.11 build ..... hey ho

i suppose ill just have to wait a little longer , maybe play the multi side of WCS after i finish playing BWO ... ;7

It has nothing to do with 3.6.9 support being dropped actually.

The problem with the prologue package is that almost every asset has been replaced over the past 3 years. Creating a patch based on the most recent data set is more or less impossible. A beta version of the patch does exist, but I do not think we'll ever release it.
