    I'd ask when soon is, but that'd add another week to the release date. I knew it would be soon, though, so not really a spoiler, unless you're new to the community.

    Every time someone posts with the words "when soon" it triggers an SKBot like a feminist.
    In other words we've both added a week, good job us

    Nah but as a MPT member I can tell you the progress is going pretty well
    We're just waiting on echo to be useful and sk to finish the server stuff with some help of course

    Phew, good thing I'm a MGTOW, feminist triggers are my bread and butter.

    Nope, it's a relatively new thing, and it's mostly formed from a loose association of men who are tired with the unfair advantages feminists have imposed on society, how men are routinely used and abused as a resource by women in general as a matter of how the system works, and have chosen to simply abandon the notion that marriage is necessary or that giving things to women, and treating them different just because they're women is a rigged game that they choose not to play.

    It's basically about as militant as MRA groups get, which is to say almost not at all.

    Thing is, now that it's starting to reach a critical mass amongst 1st world males, feminists are starting to seriously react to it, so I wouldn't be surprised if you saw some misinformation when you looked it up. There's a guy named 'Sandman' on Youtube that explains the MGTOW movement pretty well, if you're interested.

    Not that this is a political forum or anything, just figured I'd explain it, since the discussion came to this point.

    Can you give a rough estimate?

    What you said can be interpreted as anywhere from in the next 3 hours to maybe this year.

    Just do what I do when SK announces an update's coming 'soon'; find a bunch of blow, head to the seediest part of town, then wake up a few days later in Mexico. By the time you make it back home, the update will either have happened, or you'll be so glad to be alive with all your organs that it won't matter that it's still 'soon'.

    I can certainly say it'll be some time this or next year.

    That's a relief, I was starting to get worried.

    Check one of the 50 previous posts answering your question? We don't know... I've tried to make that clear.
    It generally happens to be done before school starts for most of you. I intentionally made no rough estimates because we really have no idea.

    There's really no way to give an proximate estimate on a program (mod) this complex, without being say EA and just if it's not done by the allotted time, release it anyway and say its ready when it's really not even done

    Yeah, I think I'd be slightly mad if all I got was a buggy mess and 10 updates per week.

    Then again, we're not paying for this. MPT is doing this in their free time. We should be okay with a few bugs as long as the game works well generally.

    That reminds me, I wanted to donate some for server costs and stuff, but I can't find the paypal button...

    There is none. There used to be one but there was never a link to it.
    It was only removed after the people who hand out TS3 not-for-profit licenses denied sk because they found a hidden (i.e. not shown on the site) donate button when Google searching skcraft.com
    Story time!

    Wat. Y u no want my moneys.

    No seriously, can you only have a nonprofit TS3 license if you can't even donate? What's up with that? SKCraft services have been entirely free for as long as I can remember, with donating being entirely optional, and there was/is absolutely no reward for doing so. If that's not nonprofit then I don't know what is.

    The button doesn't work, it only redirects me to my PayPal account page. Also, when I mouseover the button, my firefox doesn't show a link in the bottom corner like it would usually do when mouseovering a link or javascript element.

    Apparently there's real strict shit on here about it.

    sk could likely get one now that the donate button is removed, but they only accept submissions on weekdays apparently.
