We’re very proud of where it is now. We’re very happy with our work, and the people who played the preview were happy. Preorders are great. Right now, what we’re focused on is September 9, you know, making sure that the servers are up and running for everyone, making sure that any issues are ironed up, but everything’s looking good; it’s all green lights. The game is fun and solid, so yeah, I’m excited about the launch.
