Can You Release 2.0 Manual A Day Before Too?

<div class="IPBDescription">The language barrier.</div> When 2.0 comes out, there will be a lot of questions, and I believe the new manual will be able to awnser most, if not all, of them.

But not everyone that plays NS around the world knows english well.

So, is it much to ask to release the manual on July 30th? So webmasters can get it and translate to their communities? If its not viable, at least a complete changelog? (I have been reading some of the "complete changelog" posts and most seem to be innacurate in some point.)

    There's 2 complete change logs. This one is for the most part correct (I haven't read all of it personally, so I cannot vouch for it's total correctness, but from all that I've read it seems correct.) <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=30&t=37998' target='_blank'>Changelog</a>

    I believe the manual is coming out early, but I am not positive of that.

    The 1.0 manual was released early. It follows therefore that the same will happen with 2.0. Not that I have any say in the matter, I'm just making an educated guess.

    Good idea. I think we're more inclined to read the manual before the game's out than afterwards. When 2.0 is out, most of us will be like: "Screw the manual, I'm gonna go play."

    I believe that www.readyroom.org said that the Manual will be released <i>before</i> the game somewhere, but I'm not sure...
    There once were plans to translate the ingame text and menus into different languages, but I'm not sure if this will be ready in time for 31th. It's surely nothing that would justify a delay of the game itself...

    manual-before-experience doesn't do a whole lot of good for you
