Can we get an updated Roadmap?

[Mookies75]

It feels like you guys are getting way behind on your original road map plans. Could we get an updated road map for 2013?

It kind of scares me to see how far behind you have gotten. In the sense that I'm worried development has stopped/slowed for FF11 in favor of other things (FF14, FF11 xpac, budget cuts). This time last year I had really high hopes for the game. Now I'm not so sure.

Part of why I came back to FF11 was the great content additions/renovations and innovative changes that have been occurring over the past year or two.

Anyways, this isn't a QQ post, I'm just concerned.

Put my mind at ease? =3

Regarding the Roadmap

I apologize for the delays with the currently released roadmap. There are two reasons for this.

The first reason is that since the schedule was released before the announcement of Seekers of Adoulin, the effects of the development load for the expansion were much larger than anticipated.

The second reason is that the hours needed to work on and discuss all of the forum topics was much greater than we anticipated.

While we looked into a revised version of the roadmap to release, instead of redoing everything that was up until March 2013, we feel it's necessary to take time to build out a proper development plan from next year on, starting with redefining development plans and then deciding on the practical work content so that we do not disappoint all of you.

It's hard for me to ask this, as we've already caused everyone to worry and be inconvenienced, but please give us a bit more time.
