Joe

You beat me to the punch on that one.

Being part of the strange sub-species of Star Wars nerds; it is imperative that we celebrate that day.

Maybe you should release it on Towel Day (for the fans of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy)!

A holiday for nerds?! Wow.. I guess you can say I would be awaiting May 25 almost as much as RHW day

- but not quite as much.

I have read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and found it to be a very entertaining read, but ...

... I don't remember Towel Day.

It is May 25th as well. Though, after reading the HHGTTG, one knows to always carry a towel. Therefore, theorhetically, every day should be Towel Day.

To be honest, I don't want to wait until May for v3.0.

Appease me now!

kj3400 · December 10, 2008, 04:43:17 PM

Well, if theoretically Towel Day is everyday, then we should be pretty sure he wil release it on Towel Day.

I know, lame, right?

Ive said it before and I will say it again, I cant wait for RHW to be released as it will be like christmas morning and opening a gift up and playing with it alll day loooooong!!! Keep up the good work NAM Team!!!

This may be unimportant, since the poll that appeared here earlier has dissolved, but I can tell you that my prediction of the RHW's release time was wrong. I have a new prediction now:

RHW Day will be in the future.

When I saw your new avatar, Alex, I honestly wondered if it had something to do with the RHW. You know, I do try to keep an eye out for every change in this thread, after all...

the7train · December 11, 2008, 09:07:02 AM

Question about transitions: Will the only RHW to Maxis HW Transition be the current RHW 4 to Maxis HW? Or will new RHWs be able to transition to Maxis HW too?

Thanks!

MandelSoft · December 11, 2008, 10:03:30 AM

Well, there are no pieces for the other RHW transitions yet. And maybe for some RHW setups there won't be one. I requested the RHW6S->Maxis Highway transition a few times.

By the way, about the predictions:
The RHW 3.0 will not come out today...
And not tomorrow...
But certainly before 2371.

Best,
Maarten

Patricius Maximus · December 12, 2008, 11:17:44 AM

Predictions for RHW Day:

December 21 (Winter Solstice)
December 24 (a day early)
December 26 (after everyone's dissapointed)
The first anniversary of RHW 2.0

Of course, I know that any predictions are a self-preventing prophecy, so maybe it will be released on Christmas as part of the self-preventing prophecy, because everyone thought a prediction for Christmas was a self-preventing prophecy, so they changed it, and those dates became one (I think

)

Well, I leave for Barbados on Monday - so atleast the new RHW 3.0 will be played on my super fast simulator friendly new computer....

In that case lets say it comes next month

To me, it seems everything in the new RHW seems to be Functioning in top shape. More stuff could be getting done though. The original date Tarkus planned didn't have the additional stuff Swampper added in yet. Aside from the original release being halted because more cement walls were added in after, and another El-RHW on/off ramp piece that wasn't in there originally. The date in the future was so everything could be packed into here as much as possible, so all the necessary components for 3.0 were ready. I am glad that I can build a 6 lane 3 tile RHW to the borders, and have cars actually take it out for a change without converting to a road or avenue (via looping under the arrows).

Swamper77 · December 12, 2008, 01:02:43 PM

Just for your information, I only added a 4 median props, 2 support props, and a few T21s. The rest of my work is simply replacement models and 2 replacement textures for the work that Alex did to get basic functionality. Alex is the one that was adding new pieces to RHW, not me.

I could have had the models done sooner, but I have a life of my own outside of the game. It wouldn't to anyone any good if I didn't pay my bills to keep my apartment and its services going. I also have various projects going all at once and I get bored if I constantly work on any project for an extended period of time.

j-dub · December 12, 2008, 01:14:28 PM

Of course hes the one adding new pieces, and we Don't want to demand anyone to sacrifice their lives, or rush anything to the market like EA or Maxis did. Thanks for adding the cosmetic features by the way.

Futhering what Swampper said, please take that into consideration when getting ants in the pants when it comes to release dates.

HelloImJohn · December 12, 2008, 03:16:44 PM

I think the RHW is coming in 30 December - 10 January..., but that's just me.
Disclaimer:
I DO NOT claim to know something about the release date of the RHW, they belong to the RHW Team.

Yes, let's say that. Perhaps then it'll be released in December (or January, the attempt to elude a self-preventing prophecy could turn out to be self-fulfilling). That's confusing me.

Haljackey · December 12, 2008, 06:04:06 PM

lol why so much release date talk? It's coming "sooner than you think". Keep this in mind.

There have been major improvements to the private alpha builds we are working on. Most of the content has been added as well. However a few bugs are still being reported and bug squashing has been the primary focus behind the scenes.

Trust me when I say this, It's coming soon.

Best,
