2p mounting is really ballsy. so um ftfy  

I would use the rail road. I think if it is easier to direct where you want to go exactly when it comes back it will be used quite a bit. It will be a lot easier to get to warpers with an another option to get you to places that have limited ways into the area that can be clogged up by boosters or the hat chaser mob. like the caves to snow or the chair lifts being the only way onto belle.

I'm also hoping there will be a way to use the train tracks to get to oasis faster not that there is anything to do there since they never update it.

We have been getting great hat updates. I love hats and we have lots of content. This post isn't sarcastic at all.

I dont want hats i never wear my hats i want an update thats good not just hats  

I won't promise anything, but I hope soonish(in the coming weeks?). Content is mostly done, need to tie up loose ends and do some more testing(especially with new Android app). Facebook is proving to be the hardest client to adjust for and is providing some minor setbacks though.  

I already knew there was new content coming out soon (not gonna say who exactly told me ) but I can't wait for it !

I'm not sure about this but the new content might provide scarf quest continuation

When you say Facebook, are you including every website that you can play Classic on? Skyrider and such?

I mean the client, I guess it'd be more appropriate to say the Flash client. And yes, Skyrider and Facebook use the same client. Flash client does quite a few things differently to be more efficient, and in the process isn't as "complete" as the other platforms. I don't think it gets updated as often, either.

How about we just nerf it, I reckon it'll make your job easier and make the majority of iClassic, emphasis on the "i", happier. Assuming we get faster updates.

Flash is the only accessible means via a computer, so I doubt that would go over well  

Nerfing it will only lead to a bad rep. Dusty is better off taking more time to make it perfection.

As my mom always says: don't half-ass things

It's not even perfection so much as making sure things are actually working properly. You'd be surprised how differently some simple things work between PC(dedicated client where I initially script/test everything), iOS/Android, and Flash. Some things practically broke entire systems I had already scripted, which meant more work digging into the core scripts and fixing/working around whatever wasn't cooperating between all versions. Then of course there's actual testing content, and the more content there is, the more it has to be tested. And you can't test something once, "oh it works!" I put hours into just... playing the new content over and over and cleaning up bugs. Then playing some more and cleaning more bugs, and possibly new bugs introduced by fixing other bugs. And then you do this with each platform/client Let me just say there were lots of major bugs found this way. There would have been huge problems if I didn't bother to be as thorough as I was.

It sucks that I can't be more specific about the work that went into it(and why it's taking so long) because I don't want to spoil anything, but maybe it'll be fun to sit and talk details with players after the release.  

Has classic thought about doing beta testers, or is it just too hard?

I don't even know if it's possible in the current state. Classic Dev is pretty much in shambles, and even though I started working on the content there I eventually moved most of it to the main server. It'd be hard to truly beta test with Dev in the condition it is(horribly out of sync with the content on Main).

I agree i think that it will get used quite alot i have heard other people have been waiting for them

Discontinue flash client?
