Castewar sent me a link to an Ebay auction for one of Alex G’s old customized business cards.
Edit: He’s had to pull the auction, but it’s still up for a bit. To view it, click the link above, then re-enter the same URL.

Relic posted that the CoH Balance Playtest was coming to an end.
They had this to say.
The contributions and feedback that we have received from our Company of Heroes balance playtest have been tremendous. Many thanks to all of the players who have installed and played the playtest version of the game and let us know their thoughts on the many balance changes that we’ve been trying.
Right now we are performing a Quality Assurance and Design review of the beta in order to finalize the patch changes for release to the retail version of the game. This will involve reverting some of the changes we made, tweaking balance changes, identifying bugs that were introduced to the game and fixing them. This means that our updates to the balance playtest version of the game will be coming to a close.
You can still help give feedback on game balance of course. We’d like all of you who’ve played in the balance playtest to list the three changes that you thought were the most positive to the balance of the game and the three that you thought were the least positive. You can e-mail us your feedback to community@relic.com.
Thank you all once again for your input.
There you have it!

Looks like ANOTHER bug was found during QA, this one in the Game Recording code.
Thunder had this to say…
Here’s the latest…As we mentioned earlier this week, we had a final Soulstorm patch going through quality assurance testing this week. Testing was completed yesterday and turned up a bug in the record games system that installing the patch introduced. We have made the decision to fix the bug and build a new patch, which will be release candidate 8. RC8 is being built and sent off for the same full test pass today, with the hopes of shipping the patch once testing has been completed in about three days. We’ll post another update next week when testing has been completed.
There you have it, at LEAST another few days (including weekend).

UberJumper on 10/9/2008 - Update from Relic
The higher-ups here heard about this and are trying to get in touch with Vivendi. We’d definitely love to keep the servers running but we can’t make any guarantees of course.

Thunder’s posted an update on Relic.com. Boo me for being days slow seeing this.
We have some progress to report on the Soulstorm Patch. We have just one remaining bug with the patch and we are waiting on some information to arrive today so we can fix it. If the information arrives we’ll put in a fix, if it doesn’t, it’s not a major issue that we’ll hold up the patch for at this point. We’ll move ahead with the full quality assurance test pass that is required to release the patch. Testing will take about three days, and barring the discovery of any new bugs, the patch will then be ready to ship.
Our thanks to the Soulstorm community for bearing with us as we work through these bugs and get this patch out the door.
w00t?
