TNT staffmember Snarkie has started a neoboard at Main Hall to keep us informed about today's launch of the new premium:
10...9...8...
| IT HAS BEGUN! Okay, not *quite* yet, but I've always wanted to say that. They'll be starting very shortly with a bunch of back-end stuff that you won't see. Then they'll move on to membership pages, and finally all the site perks. This whole process will take a few hours to complete. We hope to be fully launched by early afternoon. This will be your official update board so you're not sitting around refreshing and going mad even though we're all mad here. Also, so we can have a group hug. I will post any updates I have to keep you in the loop. I will likely not have time to answer too many questions during launch, though. We'll be running around flailing an--we'll be totally professional but pretty busy. Forgive me in advance. Anyway, hang out if you like. I brought bagels. UPDATE 1: They started about 10 minutes ago. Moving right along. This entire update is just an excuse to post a screenshot of the last thing on the launch schedule: https://images.neopets.com/premium/sneakpeeks/launchschedule.gif UPDATE 2: Yup. Membership hub is live now. I would suggest not using it at the moment, though. They're still testing it.  But it's there if you want to take a look.By the way, if you find any bugs, please hold on to them. I'll be posting a bug board in a bit! UPDATE #3: They pulled down the membership hub, just so people wouldn't use it. It'll be back up once they finish live testing. (We can see it in the office on live; it's just blocked for everyone else.)I also currently have the notification bar on live here in the office. They're testing that as well! UPDATE #4: Breakfast burritos have been provided to the team by the tech director. UPDATE #5: Almost everything is live in the office now so that QA can test it. They're all like BAM! and POW! and BOOYAH! to all those live pages. This is what will take the most time, and the updates will come more slowly now. The programmers are fixing a few bugs here and there when they come up. While I do enjoy the occasional breakfast burrito, I am instead consuming delicious Red Vines. Board 2: https://www.neopets.com/neoboards/topic.phtml?topic=151435955 UPDATE #6: QA is still plugging away and the tech folks are hard at work.  I'll check back in after an hour or so - I have to actually do work today. Ha! UPDATE #7: Still in testing. Nothing new to report... if you don't count the whole Lacie-has-it-and-no-one-else-does thing, and I don't, because that's just weird. Charter will still be called Charter. That was a temp name for a temp board.  Back in an hour or so for update #2,342. (I forgot what number I'm on.) Board 3: https://www.neopets.com/neoboards/topic.phtml?topic=151437406 Haha. Sorry, folks. I was in a meeting. Here is board #3. Testing is going well. No new information. I'll let you know when we get close. The team says hello. (I'm just posting updates and helping to test. They're doing all the work!) Going back in to another meeting. Hooray! Sorry if I missed anything on the last board.  |
