Typically they do them at 1PM eastern time but that has come and gone and I havn't seen any mention of it. It's on the content calander for today, but maybe they're waiting until later. Because they're offices are in Seattle, it could be as late as 9PM eastern before we see anything. However, I doubt they'd wait that long. It would be better to have staff on hand to do a roll back if there is a catastrophic failure.

The compendium update is today (and done).  The character builder update is sometime this month (if all goes as planned).

As per Trevor's post

Three guesses, here's a hint.  Starts with an S.  Rhymes with "moon".

(Assuming you are talking about the CB update.  The compendium update is apparently already done).

Spoon?  That doesn't make any sense.

Here’s a summary of the new data and features that went live today for Compendium, and Adventure Tools.

Data Update:

Data from the following published materials are new this month in the Compendium

Books


  • Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdom

  • Rules Compendium

  • Dark Sun Creature Catalog


Magazines


  • Dragon #392

  • Dungeon #183


Plus we're doing the normal monthly erratta.

Remember: You need an active D&D Insider subscription to update your Character Builder with the new data and features.

Adventure Tools update:
We fixed a number of bugs that cropped up during our last release and we are releasing this version as the last downloadable one, before switching to the online Adventure Tools. There is no content update for Adventure Tools today.

We wanted to make sure you had a fully functioning tool to create monsters while we work on releasing the online Adventure Tools. The online Adventure Tools will release in beta later this month and will include the new content from Dark Sun Creature Catalog and Monster Vault.

From the Studio:
The frenzy of releasing a whole new integrated system of tools has been very high these last six months. There are still a few more things we’d like to get done before the holidays, including an update to the character builder and the adventure tools mentioned above. Once that’s done, the Studio will collectively take a well-earned vacation to spend with their respective families. Though it may be a bit early, everyone from the D&DI studio wishes you all Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

As always gang, thanks much for the great feedback over these last few weeks and please keep it up. I’ll be back in periodically when I have news of what’s going on later in the month.


What the heck is WotC_Trevor talking about?? There's no update to the offline Character Builder, and any update to the online Character Builder would be transparent - not a download of new data and features. If you don't have an active D&D Insider subscription, you can't load the online CB at all! Duh.

I checked, and there's no update for the offline CB, so I'm clueless what the point is of that sentence in Trevor's update.

Trevor meant MONSTER Builder for the Adventure Tool,  a typo nothing more.

They'd like to get a character builder update before the holidays.

Notice there is no mention of which holiday they are referencing,  I'm betting maybe Arbor day?

I think it's understood that they mean Christmas '10...

That is, 3010.

By 3010, the human race will either have achieved a level of technology that we don't need such tools anymore, or we will have destroyed ourselves.

See?  WotC has it all figured out.

By that time, they might have a functional assassin.

Which they'll use to keep us in line.
