This toxic atmosphere in the forum is killing me.

My personal opinion here, not approved by staff: I think what we are generally aiming for right now is (a) to fix the XP formula so that we can move on to testing i50+ RvR, then (b) focus on fixing the bugs in the RvR code [we know there are quite a few], and after that "kinda works without exploding", we can relaunch I think.

When that is depends on how much time each one of us has. I'm very swamped at work, I have deadlines to deliver, have two engineers to mentor, and two interns to take care off during the summer, and I was planning on also taking a two week work+vacation later this month. tl;dr: There are a lot of things going on in life.

I know other Staff members are in similar situations, so it always depends. Today, for example, I wasn't really able to do much work since I spent all of it in the forum here responding to threads, and some other days after spending 8 hours of work as a software engineer I don't really feel like looking at even more code. On other days I'll stay up until 3am to get things done.

Because it's really hard to predict how much time we are going to have, and it's mostly a spontaneous realization, we cannot give a definite ETA. Personally I think we're maybe...1-2 month away from the relaunch? I'd prefer sooner than later.

Cheers.
