In reply to: Nathan Stanford 's message, "When is the Release of D2 Expansion?" on 11:10:46 04/25/01 Wed

Then we see the following:

1.) Release is expected for mid 2001. That is about 2months.

2.) D2 was supposed to be released in early 1999. Came out in late 2000.

3.) Assuming an equation using an exponential increase in delay times, based on the expected half-life of the anticpation of D2ers for the new game (lambda)... so, release=e^(lamba*t2-t1)*t3 where t2 is the expected release date, t1 is the date they originally announced it, and t3 is the time between the release of d2 and the announcement of the expansion pack (all times in months)..

4.) It looks like you can expect to see the D2 expansion pack released in....

what does overflow mean? Oh, let me try that again with smaller numbers....

okay, looks like 1085352E7 months between the release of D2 and the expansion pack. Hmm, what is that, 904459.99 years? Oh, well, that isn't so bad, is it? Just hang in there, it is coming.

Hope that helps.
