And in that hour, we got to see so much coolness, that, please, please, PLEASE let us be part of the final debugging, as, as long as the data isn't corrupted (something like Llyorn is actually a literate, cool, guy, after you're done) then it'll be fun!!!
Just tell us what to do and we're all over it!
Can't wait!

Same here !
I can't wait to find those anoying bugs that kept other from seeing this amazing new UI ! I had a fun hour last night seeing all this coolness at once.

I'll replace my batteries before going there then, thanks for the tip 
Sadly I missed the 1hr window where it was running, but I will certainly go there once the link is posted. You guys on the team are doing great work and I think most of us appreciate how difficult it must be to introduce a major upgrade like this, so don't worry about the delays, we'll be patient
Out of interest SC, when you do post the link, will that require a new account to be set up so we can test the system without any possible effect on our current play, or will it simply 'move' our existing accounts to it?

Hi all, Thanks for the kind words and support, and this will only be an interim hiccup.

When we release the link to the new UI, it's the exact same server as your current account; and anything you do on the new UI will occur in the old UI gameworld as well (and vice versa). They co-exist and use all the same underlying data. You'll be able to swap between the two UIs as you wish during the interim period. Think of the old UI and the new UI simply as differently coloured pieces of glass held up in front of each of your eyes. You are still you and the world you see is still the same world - it's just coloured differently depending on which eye you look through. You shouldn't really be worried about actions taken in the new UI
behaving differently from actions taken using the old UI - the business
logic behind the buttons hasn't changed, just the way things are
presented.
Regards, SC

Ah, sort of like 'mirror' working then, I thought that might be how it would work, but I had to ask - thanks for taking the time to explain.
I will look forward to getting back from work later to give it a try, and I have a day off tomorrow so I can spend a lot of it playing around with the new system!!
I haven't annoyed you for a while with 'tickets', so this might give me the opportunity to catch up!  |

Rats, I missed the 1 hour window to play when this occurred.
I can't wait to test this.

So when I clicked on The Herald, Illy tried to download a file and my security blocked it.
Is this a legit file that I should download?
Or did my security catch a baddie?
