10 minutes before you posted that a Guide responded that this isn't just a Green bug. I also seem to remember this being something that could happen back on live. Even if it was limited to Green only, this certainly doesn't seem like a rampant "major" issue that warrants delaying the launch.

I'm sure there will be bugs here and there. Sometimes, said bugs may unfortunately result in a character getting killed. Hopefully those bugs will eventually be resolved. However, IMO they should only delay the launch if we're talking about multiple major bugs that essentially cause the game to be unplayable or are otherwise just ridiculous (such as people being able to hit level 51).

Silence yourself, small-skulled heathen. You may plead to any and to all of the false Gods for a reprieve, but you will not escape the rising tides in the oceans of Prexuz. Your day of reckoning is forthcoming as the Dark Men of Odus will bend Norrath to their will, it is known. Will you stand bravely and accept your fate as it was written? Or will you continue to cower in the face of your impending doom?

Glory to Father Erud. Praise be to Prexuz.

Isn't it blasphemy not to spell Prexus's name correctly?

try again after some improved reading comprhension. He's still not sure about the snare issue, which is by far the more problematic issue.

As someone who works for a software company I can honestly say if we investigated every occurrence of something which happened ONCE to someone we would never get anything done.

If it's reproducible absolutley. Or happening to multiple people then yes. One isolated case been reported? No.

Who knows maybe when have tons of people zoning from one place to another, this bug might become more problematic. Besides, you have any proof your issue was the same as mine, in effect or cause?

Having been a SW engineer for over 30 years, I can tell you there are two major syndromes when it comes to a new release:

1) Releasing too early, rationalizing major bug into minor problems. Crossing our fingers and hoping that the users don't find that use case you know about (they always find it in 5 minutes while it took your testers and dev team 4 months to run into it). The need for revenue outweighs the anger of the end users.

2) Waiting for perfection. Each bug that has a workaround is rated as a major issue. Aesthetic issues are sweated over because the developer has been staring at the same glitch for weeks but in reality users will never see it because it's usually on screen for 5 seconds. The desire to please everyone outweighs everything else.

Both are bad.

Problem number 1 results in angry users and a bad reputation. But it can be overcome if patches are forthcoming and actually solve problems. Devs are usually motivated to solve the problems once the pressure of release is behind them.

Problem number 2 results in demoralized developers who, faced with the impossible task of creating perfection, simply walk away to find a new project. People need goals that are attainable, even if they at first seem impossible. And they need the rewards of their efforts. People actually using their software is that reward.

Please delay green because "WHAT IF?!?!?!?"
