We don't have what they hold.

Hold is something the police do when they take you in custody. You are put in a holding cell.
I am more inclined to think that they have removed all the settlements for EE and given each player his own individual "hold" with a small farm and a cow and stockade.
Of course some authorities argue it is actually short for "holdup" and is referring to bandits and pirates and various others of the ne're do well persuasion.
Or it might be just a typo and what they are really saying is the whole EE palaver is getting "old" and they decided not to bother.
My thoughts:
This is a good thing.
Also good - no new arbitrary date for EE to start. That means it could potentially be slated to start - when it is ready.

I will be away from my desk for about an hour. The blog will go live shortly. Afterwards, when I return, I'll be able to answer questions.Looks like Lisa has extended the meeting to yell at Ryan some more. :)
Going Amiri on his arse!

I'm glad their waiting until the game isn't unplayable before deducting our pre-paid time for EE.
"We want the first players in Pathfinder Online to have a high-quality experience and we are committed to delivering the game in a condition that meets that objective."
I find this a bit misleading. It should actually state "Minimum Viable Product" not "High-Quality Experience" as those two are the antithesis of each other.

I disagree. "Viable" can totally entail "high-quality".
What MVP doesn't entail is "feature complete".
The features that are added should be done to a high degree of quality.

Good call. I don't think the game is ready yet. Also a good call not to put it at a set date.I got Friday, Nov 17.
Which year ? Nov 17th is a Monday this year.
I did look up the Hindu Astrology for November 17th it looks auspicious.

A hold would reduce the chances they'd break the Mike.
And the Mark? Say them both quick enough and it sounds like Marmite. "Don't Break the Marmite".
We have set an internal objective of being able to handle 2,000 simultaneous connections, and 100 characters active in a single Hex as our minimum threshold for server performance. This reflects our expected peak concurrent activity for the first 10,000 players in game - roughly what we anticipate during the first 90 days of Early Enrollment activity. Currently the server does not reliably meet that benchmark.
Like the numbers. Awesome task!

There will be an Alpha 11. The team is planning on making a new build on Thursday, and deploying as soon thereafter as possible. It has been taking a couple of attempts to get a clean build lately and so we're allowing ourselves some time for that with Alpha 11. When we have a clean build and we know what our deployment schedule will be, I'll post that as well.
