I'm putting this in Changelogs because it seems more important than a Forums post, but less so than an Announce. Hm. Maybe we should have an Updoots board.

Razmael switching over to Mirrors is a godsend, and I love him. He has already fixed the database problem, and come up with a way to do things 100% faster than what I was doing. In fact, I'll explain. I was copying volunteer written messages, converting them to codespeak, then modifying the old code to split the messages. Raz figured out a way to just link the place the awesome ones were writing messages in to the code, and he just clicks import when he's ready. The difference between skill and training, folks.

Also, shout out to volunteers, who pulled a bit of late nights to finish a bunch of writing. They also brainstormed events and made them better!

So we're a bit ahead of what I expected.

Ready -
* Most Backend Code
* Messages for Revenant and Warden
* Event Outlines, Boss for Revenant
* Event Outlines for Warden
* AB files
* DB Upgrade
* Messages cleaned up.

Needed -
* Event script (few days, like 5 people writing now! Sometimes we abandon them altogether, if the event is right)
* Boss for Wardens (A day. And Boss sometimes just means puzzle, or event)
* A bit of testing added, because let's face it, something WILL break.

Because I'm a terrible pessimist I won't move the release date.. especially because I really like the idea of it.

PS Technically this counts as a changelog, because we did change the defense DB in live. Templars/Carnifex, keep your eyes open, but you shouldn't be able to see anything different.
