As you may have noticed, this blog has been a bit quiet as we’ve been getting ready for the Beta. Now that it’s here, you can expect us to be blogging quite frequently over the next days, weeks, and months. If there are specific topics you’d like to see discussed, please do let us know. And most importantly, we’re still extremely interested in your feedback, so any comments, questions, praises, criticisms, or suggestions you have should certainly be sent our way. The best place to do so is on the forums.
Enjoy!
