No mention of Public/player companies in Letter X's roadmap, so I wanted to bump this thread so it won't be forgotten.
Was hoping they would be further along in development as they was stated to the introduced in the "first version update of 2011", but I guess they are on a standby all of this summer? That would be very sad!

It's surely still the most exciting feature the new/old have ever spoken of, so let's keep the thread alive and in good spirit.
