Yes, I'm sure, just as we did with OOTP 2006 
We've just been late this year. But we're already eager to start working on OOTP10, which we'll do right now 
And next year, we will better release it late before releasing without mirrors. Promised. |
I have complained about the US $ / Euro pricing issue (which I think also needs looking at for next year) in another thread and have to agree the download problem was not good BUT personally having lost momentum of playing OOTP recently and having been with it since the very first version ( recent issues of OOTP I felt got very complex to use and slower to play) this version is WAY BETTER and am very pleased with the game so far and all that it offers
As regards release time next year I think maybe apart from having mirrors ready the launch time needs looking at to spread downloading as has already been mentioned here. If it were released say at 8am or 9am European time then European users would download followed by US users as they got up in their different time zones spreading out the hits on the servers a lot. Any other time of day has most OOTP users able to hit the download at the same time.
