Mr H nice post please do keep them up

I am in Shanghai next week with work if you guys are still around I would be delighted to buy you a beer and I promise not to post any gossip on here

I fly in from the UK on Saturday

Oh and watch out for the soup at a banquet always take it from the top NEVER stir it (if you have a poor Western constitution like mine).

The9 is relatively notorious for leaks if i recall correctly.

Also, i'm more than excited about any Planetside news, especially gritty details about where you are in the cycle, what you guys have been working on, etc. It's never annoying Matt!

Also, Care to dispel rumors about The9 and China getting first shot at the game and Beta testing?

I don't want Plasma spam as the primary game element =P

Yeah, thanks for taking the time to drop by and throw some blue text at the community, always good

if you guys actually dig hearing about the game dev process!

Ofcourse we want to hear more!

So, Higby are you saying that this game is to be Epic? That you have played the game, and as a gamer it is epic? Or do you mean that what this game can do in the future... limitless possibilities? That's what I'm carrying away from this.

If so, great news! Very excited for this game. Gonna need to stock up on pizza pockets!

Surprised you even have to ask. Of course we want to know what going on with the dev team. Anything and everything you can tell us, we want to know. If you go to the bathroom, tweet it! :P Just joking...

Questions for higby: Is your internal clock dead yet? I imagine all of that traveling is murder on you in ways that most people don't get to enjoy all that often.

You ought to do a full blown devblog on the development process, give us tech porn like they do over at EVE Online.

Also, graphs. Did I mention that tech/dev porn is cool?

Thanks for the update. Sometimes I feel like a meth head dope fiend and I'm all out of candy. So any news is way groovy. Looking forward to the next few weeks. Take care

dachlatte · 2011-08-30, 08:00 PM

Anything is better than silence for weeks/months at a time!

Keep it up!

Senyu · 2011-08-31, 12:32 AM

Make sure you got a good hotel. One I was at in Shangai the showers left a bit of grim on you and you came out feeling dirtier than when you went in.....

Anyways cant wait for the upcoming info, keep up the amazing work!!

Tycho · 2011-08-31, 02:34 AM

Thanks for dropping in Matt. Im really looking forward to the next couple of weeks. I cant wait to see what you guys have been up too.

I think anything spoken by a Dev here will get people drooling, so it's much appreciated Higby.
I just finished putting my awesome new PC together mainly because of Planetside 2, so I'm getting excited all over again like when we saw those first screens.

**Higby** · 2011-08-31, 05:06 PM

We got here last night, grabbed dinner and crashed early.

When you're playing, patching once a week is kind of a hassle... but imagine daily updates of several hundred megs over a slow VPN connection to the USA from China, enormous hassle. Thats why I've been sitting here since 4am watching a progress bar fill at 25k/s. Well, that and the jet lag.

At least I have an awesome view!
