I think I got too used to the notion of beta tests are useless that I skipped them altogether. Plus I wanted to push out 2.6.4 quickly to get it over with and that cost me dearly.

do you actually care about this game?
An awful lot, yes. Despite what people think, I do actually play the game.
a developer who has no interest in the users who play the game itself has zero business being a developer.
I do have an interest in the users. The reason I rushed it out was partly motivated by two particular things people were waiting for:
1) The HTTP overhaul, which fixed some horrible issues myself and others had
2) Haxxy rewards, which winners were obviously waiting for
In hindsight I should have been more careful as this caused more problems than it solved.
you cannot release a game for your own satisfaction ajf.
I don't. Releasing isn't particularly fun.
you're releasing a game for the satisfaction of the players who play the game.
That doesn't actually contradict your previous sentence since I play the game.
move forward from these ridiculous mistakes and make sure the release isn't laden with critical errors and a sordid lack of attention to detail.
I've said I would.
this isn't a group project in school where you're the only one doing work to get a barely passing grade for a credit. you're making light of the effort, donations, development, interest, skill, time, and the motivation of every single person who has EVER made a contribution to the game. there's a lot of power in your hands right now. don't fuck it up and destroy this game.
I'm not making light of anyone's efforts nor my mistakes. I screwed up, okay? Don't rub it in, I'm well aware, and future releases will be done more carefully.
