when you effectively sign the ULA by agreeing to terms, there's a really important little blurb they tend to emphasize: "game experience may change during online play"

why? because it's an MMO, and things change. timelines are incredibly hard to rigorously stick to. not everything goes according to plan. you have to adjust on the fly. you change your mind about things. you get the idea.

did they say they'd release a flood of info? yep. did it come? depends on your definition of flood. apparently it's INCREDIBLY subjective. but they made the judgment call to withhold a lot of it until later, as to make a stronger marketing push closer to ARR's release.

as far as business decisions go, that's the wisest.

this makes you more excited for EQnext? cool story. go flail around on those forums for even less info than you're getting about ARR. but in the meantime square is trying to make the best possible decisions it can to ensure the success of their reimagined and relaunched MMO franchise. your feelings on the issue are your feelings, but this is business. nothing personal.
