FYI this is not directed at the OP, but some of the angsting/responses which will not be pointed out.

I really don't think we need updates all the time. Everyone knows the direction the game is going, we have a road map, and i find it rather pointless for Yoshida to tell us every time he takes a dump or drops his cheeseburger. Just play the game and enjoy it, there's no reason to sit and angst over the next word from the producers. They'll get you the word when there's actually something substantial worth reporting. There is no point in announcing things piecemeal; it is infinitely better, and wiser, to compile tidbits and release them all at once when you can be sure of what you're saying. Otherwise if they announce something, and change it a few weeks later, everyone here will rage and complain. Practice some patience.

Imo everyone should be happy the 1.2 patch is being fixed so regularly. Imo thats whats most important. Sure new stuff is cool, but i dont need to know it until they are about to implement it. No one is keeping you in the dark, there just wasn't enough to say, or it hadn't been finalized. Players take the "communication" business way too far. Play the game, give suggestions, and wait it out. Btw lol @ at some of the conspiracy theories. I think some ppl have way too much time on their hands if all they can do is go "Why haz Yoshida no called me!!1?!11?"

Really, relax lol. So far SE has delivered, including giving you a very cheap game to play (way undervalued imo at the current monthly fee). Eat drink and be merry...i thought we could be through with the angsting when the non-subs got booted.
