Well i'm still not sure what to think about the change in release date. I booked 2 weeks of work in june to get all i could out of the early access as my play time is very limited but now I find that my holidays are booked 2 months early. I sincerely hope that 1.8 brings a lot to the table in new content (and that its still scheduled for the 24th) or I will have to find other games to keep me occupied while off work. I guess my trophy hunting to decorate my new house will take longer than expected with the limited time I will get when early access happens .
