    When does the client become available? The day the round starts, or a couple of days before?

    Looking forward to next week when the 3rd round starts.

    Usually, there's a few days prior to the release where you can download/update the new files for the patches, before the actual playing time opens up. Nothing worse than waiting for a long patch update while the clock's ticking. ;)

    Yeah, it's out there now, you can install and patch up (they actually released a couple of version patches last week).

    They should put a link to the client in everyone's account page.

    I swear, looking at that giant PLAY button is worse than torture when you can't log in. I admit, I'll kick on the intro screen for the music occasionally. :D

    You must however remain glued to the forums because they have not had a good / any history of emailing backers info concerning testing.

    I tried to use the search button but to no avail, with release 3 we get open multiplayer, what's the likelihood of the bear Tavern all getting together or will that come with release 4 and the social system?

    R3 is just OPO and there is (was) no social/friend system that I could tell. I asked about the party system being used to prioritize the creation of the instances and was told "no". Seems it's all a first come up to a certain number to fill up an instance.

    The recent TenTonHammer article mentioned the ability to use the "F" key to assign friends. Doing so would adjust which instance you get rolled into if there are more than one available for the hex.

    Not sure whether they were simply "regurgitating the party line" or actually saw that functionality in action.

    Should be interesting to see what happens (if anything) when one presses the "F" key in-game. :)

    A thread on the article is over here : https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/f...n-ton-hammer-exclusive-first-look-at-r3.7451/

    Yeah, saw the article and the guy that wrote it stopped by the chat room for a bit; said Starr demoed R3 for him and pressed the F key and all but didn't actually add a friend, etc. So, the working theory is that it remains a shell system and not implemented right yet. We shall see shortly :)
