1 Year Anniversary - Letter from the Producer on YouTube Live

[ydp002]

SE is making a push... They probably will have some major announcement for the future of the game.. a brief highlight of future patches and maybe a PS3 dateline ...

[Ark_mage2]

Maybe he will announce PS3 beta!?!? Or a public test server which is running the new MAP and using the *new* database/server system? That would be an announcement!

[Colino]

Is it 5AM or 5PM PDT? By saying just 5.00 I'm assuming they're using the 24 hour notation, but you never know.

......*shakes head*

I have this crazy suspicion all the 1 year goodies are in the patch, that is why we don't have them yet. They planned all this to happen on a timeline, including this pre-anniversary event with the Grand Companies.

Shit just got real

I wasn't going to skip Java class just because of the update, I swear I wasn't.

..but now it's because of the update + QA session. Totally worth it.

Yeah at this point it's quite obvious since they delayed the "celebration" to the same date as the patch.

Considering there wasn't a patch to add the GC event we're having at the moment it'd be fair to say it was either included in the Curse Of Dalamund patch, OR was already inside the games installation files upon release, meaning it had been planned all along.

It's hard to say exactly how much of what's been happening was planned from the start, it's like one of those giant conspiracy theories.

Still, Yoshi doing a public Q&A is serious stuff, he wouldn't be doing it if he didn't believe the game could be a success.

[Seif]

I hope somebody asks them if they're ever going to address the player's poll results regarding the AH and if there's ever going to be one in this game.

I think they are tip toeing around the issue because if they flat out said "no it won't be coming ever" many players including me would just give up hope and leave to find other games.
