Yeah SpiritWarrior, I'm gonna be hopeful for a pre-holiday release, even if that means the week before Christmas.
I did read on the official forums they were going to open the web area for HOTU much closer to release than they did for SOU. They felt they let too much out too soon for SOU, so a release 2-3 months from now, October or Novemeber, is in the realm of possibility.
Fortunately I saved IWD 2 to play til just recently even though I bought it last summer so I have something to keep me distracted besides community modules and EFU. [img]smile.gif[/img]
