    That's probably the most absurd (and presumptious!) statement I've ever heard. Find me one developer commentary/comment/post/blog related to a single MMO of any type that says "So this new content we've just added took us a week." Any new implementation takes months, sometimes up to a year, including conception, design, evaluation and production. Even WoW's "hotfixes" (tiny, server side tweaks) are planned months in advance as discussed in their Coffee Time With The Devs blog.

    Now if you're talking about a site posting an announcement that "We want to release a new dungeon soon!" and then said dungeon appears a week later, don't be fooled into thinking that even though they only publicly announced in last week, they haven't been planning it for the past year.

    Way to stir the pot.
