As you may have noticed by now, depending on your location, patch 2010 was released some hours ago. This was a scheduled update and it’s fully backwards compatible so there’s absolutely no need for concern. We worked really hard on 2010, and we figure it’s in a good enough condition to release.
You don’t have to download anything, it was / will be installed automatically when the clock hit/s midnight in your time zone. 2010 has been in alpha for quite a while so we’re confident the major bugs have been squished, but you may consider it to be in a sort of open beta, so please keep an eye out for glitches or other weirdness. We’ll probably put the finishing touches on it throughout January and then we’ll call it a day and start planning the 2011 update.
On a side note, we realise the Mayans have claimed we’re going to stop updating after patch 2012, but that is not based on an official statement and we can neither confirm nor deny that we have any plans to stop updating at any point in the near or far future, so please stop emailing us or making terrible disaster movies about it.
Happy new year to you too
