I will be uploading it in the near future. Just waiting to hear back from the test users that seemed to encounter a lot of disconnects. Once I get word that it appears to have solved their issues I'll upload it to the app store.

Any word on when push notifications will be working? Or am I missing something? I have them turned on, but I get no notifications (and Eclipse is not listed in the Notifications settings page). Would love to have this working.

Does this mean the update will be slightly delayed or that only newly spawned servers will have the changes?

Odd that things don't show under notifications... On a side note push in the client isn't broken at the moment. We need to make some changes on the server that we made last minute to the game, but due to there being several more issues than we originally expected it will probably be another week before they Push code gets changed. It's high on our list of things we need to change.

If you PM your character name I can do a push test to your device to make sure you are getting them on the device.

No, it just means that the servers will need to be upgraded at the same time the client comes out. The changes are on the test lan version of the game, but we may not put the new servers up till everyone has the new client. ie - since NZ will be able to download the new client before people in the US, we will wait till everyone has download (or the client is available to everyone) before we upgrade the servers. Once we turn on the new code in the servers the old client will not be able to log in, and they will be notified they need to new client.

If we changed the servers the moment the client went live in the app store people would be locked out for a day if they lived in the US.

Hope that clears it up.

It does! Thanks, Zarkwizard.
