g2k2 - wuts the deal?

Correction · #1 12-27-2001, 04:52 AM

mmmk i'm too lazy to go look'n fer an answer or even to ask people...all I want is a full explination: i had the understanding 2k2 was to be released christmas day and i stay up to 11:30 at night to find out it's just a preview (of course i didn't stay up to actually download the "preview"). . . did i miss something?

no its coming out later tonight, even if you do get all the files for it you'll need an account which is only for people involved with the project i think

Gah.. when the server is opened to the public the 2k1 accounts will work, but for now it is closed only to people with special 2k2 staff accounts.

in that case lemme refraise the original question
I had the understanding that 2k2 would be open to public on christmas day. Why wasn't it and when will it be?

I think the preview shouldn't be timed
and we should only beable to stay in the intro levels or something =X

"Special" friends hooked me up to play 2002 online, and it's not really all that great

It wasn't ready.. plus it was like 1 in the morning Eastern US time when it came out.. so Stefan decided to hold it another time.. I believe that is the reason anyway.

No one can currently play on 2k2 unless they work for 2k2, so don't believe anyone saying "I am playing right now!@$" because they aren't. Also, it would probably be best to wait for 2k2 preview to come out before downloading 2k2, because the setup will probably change when the preview is released.

So don't go downloading 2k2 now, not only because it's probably the incorrect version, but several people are putting trojans in them and getting others to download them from unofficial sites, or sending it to people.

i'm scared to downloading anything hosted by graal. my friend spanky and some other people have been complaining about virus's and other stuff found in the exe (forcing them to reformatt their computer and stuff)

Sorry for the things that happened yesterday.
It was not professional to say we will do the preview
at christmas and then there is only chaos.
We have changed the plans for it, we plan to release
it next week (tuesday?). We will open it for several
hours and afterwards turn on the ghost mode so
you can watch new things added there. This will
be better than doing the preview thing now, because
we will have time to remove all bugs we see
(the engine for sending the data was made at monday
evening...) and prepare things so that you have more fun
with it. I hope you understand that
