FYI... Beta is still down, I'm having to write a abstract interface for the database code because of the new memory allocation optimizations.
In other words, the database API I was using used STL which is hardcoded to allocate memory through microsofts memory allocator, whereas it would crash the metaserver when that memory was released because then it would try to use the new/faster dlmalloc memory allocator.
So, the only solution was to build an layer between the Metaserver and the real database code, so that I can make sure the memory allocations are kept seperated from each system.
Anyway, I'm pretty much done... got some tedious changes to the metaserver to do, but it should all be up tonight.

Don't count on it coming out tonight.
It might, it might not.
Faustus only gave an estimate, not a hard time.
Estimate is a fancy word for guess.

And i was just making sure...
Speaking of the Beta, any plans of a free trial of it? I havn't been staying updated with all this patch talk...

Beta tests are free for everyone. Just download the beta client.
Your beta side profile is different from your live one, and starts out at zero. This is because we jack around with them all the time.
Ask a beta side admin about getting some points. They might give you some.
