jake: wouldn’t that be awesome? Thanks so much for bringing it up here, but that’s just a rumor (and a false one at that). July 23 just isn’t possible, especially after the fire. (That very well may have been the planned launch date before the fire… hmmm.) I talked to one of my contacts today and he wouldn’t give any kind of date, just stated that the fire set them back a few weeks. :(

I’m going to update my personal release date prediction to be “maybe August”.

Jake: Jake Peavy or not, I’m still going to call you Jake. :) There is a way to friend someone without seeing them in-game — I’ll drop you an email on how to do it on the beta site. I’d rather not confuse non-beta people by linking stuff here that they won’t be able to access.

When the site goes live, I will be known as Lure, just as I am on the live site right now. (The beta is a separate, temporary account from your regular BFG username, whether you have the same username on beta or not.) On the live site, you can add me now: just go to your My Friends page and scroll to the bottom. Add “Lure” and you’re set! :)

Uh, one problem, lure. To the best of my knowledge the only way to friend somone is if you see them in a game, using betas site. Am I missing something? Will you use the name Lure when the site becomes active for all?

P.S. I am not Jake Peavy. That is a screen name. Peavy himself is a talented pitcher for my favorite team, the San Diego Padres.

Jake: bigfishgamer_com is my username on the beta. On the live site it’s Lure. Feel free to add me!

(PS: I don’t post messages about the status of the beta site here as it tends to go up and down without notice.)

dlo: normally I think you’d report them on the beta forums, but they are down for me right now. For later: it’s on the beta site, under Community, then drill down to the appropriate forum and leave your bug report there.

I guess you could leave a message under “Help” for customer service, but I don’t think that’d end up in the right place. Not sure, though.

As an aside, I’d really prefer a better way to report bugs than a forum (it seems too wide-open and I’d be embarrassed if I re-posted a previously known bug because I didn’t sift through 20 pages of other bug reports submitted by other users), but that’s the way it is I guess.

jackdragon: I just compared the list from the live site to the beta — all of the courses are the same, no more no less. I don’t know if BFG has plans to add more courses or not.

Hi jackdragon! I’ll admit I never played the original enough to know how many courses there were (though I played enough to know that there were enough to keep me busy!) — I’ll pop into a beta room today and ask for you. Hang tight. :)
