Still no computer
My computer is still in the shop -- Windows corruption. No word, but I've a slim hope that it may be back this weekend. I think this is getting to be my longest absense of from the game, with the exception of the trip to Hawaii. And if it keeps up, its going to trump that. At least there has been no word on Issue 13 hitting.

Issue 13 woes...
Isn't it just the way? After the last post I find out that Open beta WAS active.
Most issues have occurred when I've been unable to jump right in. More often than not it seems. So I'd say that I13 is RIGHT around the corner. WHY? We had work done in our condo -- pulling out the carpet and putting in laminated floors. As a result we had to move EVERYTHING, including the computer. My office is a lot cleaner and more ordered than it has been in quite a while. BUT when the computer was reconnected it went belly-up. Perpetual Windows reboot . Maybe a virus. Or a hard disk controller driver according to one friend. Regardless it may be several days before its back up and running. (I'm using my wife's computer to post this. )
So if everything follows form? Issue 13 should be any day. I've not been on since Friday and if not for my XBOX I'd be going positvely NUTS...

How long till the next Issue?
Halloween is over. The sun has returned to the skies over Paragon. People are no longer asking for Trick-or-Treat teams or Giant Monster teams. No longer running from door to door.
But that leads us to the next stuff. We have the new issue coming. Chances are it will be released weeks before the Winter event, which usually preceeds Christmas by a week or two. With that being the case anytime from the middle to the end of November is fair game for the upcoming event. With the pending new shield powers, changes to base prices, changes to Kheldian powers, and more, I'm looking forward to it. My guess? Somewhere between November 15th and 20th. Longer than that and you hit Thanksgiving weekend. They'd want it up and running, so that any bugs can be eliminated.
With that to be the case, I expect open beta at ANY time now, and to go QUICK. So nows the time to check the boards often, and cross your fingers. Expect a surge in population as old players return to check out the episode -- it always happens.
I'm anxious, like many veteran CoX players.
