Designing, supporting and distributing a software package (for free) is already a huge effort without creating unnecessarily tight deadlines. Simply adding a handful of accounts from this website to the early beta would have ensured a better launch day experience for thousands of subscribers. Hopefully the changes won't break existing mods as they have done in past expansions.

I don't think there's a lot of new content from what I've read, just the new dungeon system and a few other things from what I've been able to read about. Likely not difficult or breaking, but probably time consuming changes. Unfortunately the launch date of the 6th falls at a bad time for me, I've a lot going on that week and the following, so it may take some time for me to get changes made and posted.
I am also surprised at SOE for not at least getting the featured authors beta invites as soon as they started testing. Drums, Profit and eXtreme have been around quite a long time, not to mention many other sets.
