We have some estimations internally, sure. But they are far from set in stone (many moving parts that depend on how well the closed tests go) so I would hesitate to share them with you. We are excited about it too and hope to release them to you in the near future.
Do you guys have an eta on the closed tests being over or are you also waiting for the next stable bannerlord mp build to finish collecting information necessary to the development of the custom servers? I know you must update the telemetry of the crash reporter to better analyze those reports, to get more information out of them. I'm glad you guys are doing this. This is a step in the right direction for the game and will help future server owners report issues to developers. I'm not sure you answered Vocals question at all but gave the same answer the last devs have given. Let me translate that message, which is "I don't know (estimations), I cant tell you(Far from set in stone), I wont tell you(Hesitation), but soon(Many moving parts, closed tests go well/ill)."
Please, forgive my translation if it is wrong.
so, here's a different question. When is your team expecting the closed tests to be over? What was the original plan for them at least? I understand there were some staff changes that have maybe swapped that timetable around, however this does not excuse that WE have heard no plans from the developers, and just want to be able to build a rough timetable so that we can get people hyped about the custom servers and invite them back to the game when the time is right. Many of them are warbanders who dislike the class system as it currently stands and that is their prerogative. I use "we" loosely as I refer to many clannies I know like Vocals here.
I'm not asking for the custom servers to be released, or an eta on those. Just how long you expected the closed tests of custom servers to last. Its been like two months maybe? They got released April 12th to a few server owners, but there's been nothing since. Forgive me for sounding pessimistic and entitled, but we have been told "soon" far too many times to accept that answer for what it is.
