I don't mind waiting for the 4.09 final, but what I feel was a shame, was that a Server 4.09 wasn't made available at the same time as the Beta release came out.
At least then we could have tried it online with many servers, rather than talking about it, and having to switch files to play offline 4.09 and online 4.08.
Hopefully it's going to be worth the wait......
