I am not sure if they are still pushing for this, havent herd anything for a while.
IIRC the devs are waiting on Valve. Chances are the big V was a tad busy with HL2 untill now, so we could see this fairly soon. *Crosses Fingers*

The auto updates will be very nifty, so we won't have to wait months for other big patches. It'll be much easier for the team to get balance changes and other features implemented this way as well.
I am pulled in 2 directions on this one. While I would love the popularity of NS to rise, as it is my favorite Multiplayer game online, I know that it will also bring a lot of....stupid people(to put it nicely). Now, I don't mind ones that ask what to do, but when they ruin a game because of jumping into the comm chair, or res whoring, it gets to me. I usually play NS to relax after class and homework, not to have to deal with 'stupid people' Lets not move this thread into 'newbie' or 'noob 'bashing.
What are your feelings about NS getting more popular?
We will surely release v3.0 beta 6 first (which we hope will be v3.0 final), and if that looks good, I imagine we'll try to make that version the first official version on Steam!
We still need to find out how much access we have to update the files on Steam though, as I think we'll be the first non-VALVe-owned mod under My Games.
hopefully the new manual (does it mentions irc and nslearn?), the training level, and guidance from the community will all help in player retention.

Yes, Hopefully when you right click on NS it will have Manual like when you do so on HL2. But how many do you think will read it?

Optimism seems to be beyond him; pessimism and whining is his native language. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> And I'm not the first one to say this.....
As for methods of training new players.....lock all the online servers until they correctly complete a little test, and they get the training to complete the test by completing that nice new hazardcourse map that's posted on the front page <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
