Can we make it before the end of the year? Now I'm not so sure. I'll o the best I can though, though it's hard since my family is preparing a move. Expect a new beta sometime soon that addresses some of the more prevailing concerns.

Meanwhile, for everyone, NO bug is too small. If it's an inconsistency in gameplay, a tiny glitch that won't be noticable to anyone else, or whatever, REPORT IT. We want ZC 2.5 to be as polished as possible, and that won't happen until we can get all the little kinks out. And remember, the important part in quest compatibility is compatibility with 2.10 quests, NOT with beta quests. So make sure that your 2.10 stuff works exactly as it does in 2.10, and if not, report it AS A BUG in the appropriate forum. We're running out of time, so make sure to start testing aggressively, and hopefully the end-of-year deadline will be met. If not, then we're certainly not gonna wait till February or March to release a new version if that's what you all were thinking
