Maintenance Oct. 27-28

Draco, are you arguing that the birth numbers of babies in October 2013 in the US are not at least a rough indicator of a tendency from year to year? I mean, do you think it was ~12% in 2013, but 40% in 1980? Do you think there are big variations from one western country to another?

Newsflash. Children born in October were conceived in January (as a general rule of thumb), one of the coldest months of the year. There is some correlation there which has been known about for a long time. Oh, and very late October could be linked to early February. You know. Valentine's day, wink wink nudge nudge.

no not arguing that but when using statistics of just the USA without taking the EU and JP players plus different lands have different highest birthrates, going by 2 birth statistics one of the uk and one of the whole of the EU, the highest months were august and july meaning the people to have procreation, would of been in november to october, plus going by the guidelines of a rule of thumb using the statistics i found within a US paper it is very unlikely for 3 people to share a birthday within one family, my family is made of 5 people (only counting my parents and my siblings) 4 of which have there birthdays one after another in january :P,

also if your insinuating that october would be high due to valentines day febuary 14th / 14/2 then the birthdays would aim around early to late november counting for early births there would be a much smaller number then what was stated for october above, :P.

i simply see his information as incorrect and also aimed in mean spirits with his message, so i wished to ruin his fun :3 by using statistics he used. also for the record births are unaffected by valentines day yes there may be more procreation but the numbers are much higher around september and december, meaning births would be aimed towards may and sepember ,


also wink wink nudge nudge christmas present under the missile toe, eh, nudge nudge, say no more? say no more!

Opps quoted wrong person... Hah

Well I am very sorry that I typed that wrong. My point still stands he/she not alone or special.

Then again maybe you think SE picked his birthday just because of him/her.

nahh man were just human we love to argue and find patterns :P to be fair i think were all just talking here while waiting for 2.4 i do hope all of you have fun in that patch by the by, also maybe the "he isn't special" is kinda a bit mean D: but its like saying your scared of zombies and you turn on the tv and its nothing but zombie films XD, you tend to blame powers above you


anyway to everyone still reading this patch is tomorrow, if your in the uk or eu its almost 9pm GMT go get some early sleep or late sleep if your a far gmt+ something, and we can wake up to 2.4

for the us players, go watch a film have a nice bath then have a early night's kip,

and to katsushiro, have a happy birthday dude and hope you have fun in the patch tomorrow

[Katsushiro]

Does it really matter?

Sooo.. Any official, non-confusing word on whether or not patch preloading will be a thing that is going to happen yet?

For some of us, this matters. A LOT.

I'm sure we will have at least a few hours to download the patch before servers are up but even that's cutting it close. Any later and there are going to be a lot of angry players that missed out on their chosen house. On the most populated servers houses in mist will sell out very quickly. There are some Uber rich players and FCs that have plans to buy entire wards. If people lose out on a house, one of the biggest things this patch is adding for some, because it becomes a race of who has the fastest download speed things are going to be ugly.
