Under promise
Over deliver

Thats how we do it in the states....
I would have told people April for 1.21... So March 8th seemed like it was way ahead of schedule...
But telling people early Feb makes March 8 feel icky and wrong...

Sound advice, don't know why they don't do it this way instead.

Easy to do if you are much more conservative in promises and timelines. Every release should be early and with more content then advertised. The difficulty with this of course is that it is in human nature to be optimistic about accomplishing one's goals and the desire to be transparent about what's going on.

I used to look forward to coming into work at 8AM and checking the Lodestone for patch notes, indulging myself in exciting changes and additions to the game and getting pumped for the patch. I even woke up at 5AM this morning and checked the Lodestone for an update. Nothing. I mean c'mon...delay or not, I'm getting extremely anxious. This is just outright ridiculous. Oh wait, we got like 5 screenshots, oh woooooooow.

First I pitied you, then I lol'd.

@bout Yoshi - as others said, "promise less, deliver more" is the best public relations option. Always conserve your promises, as humans are much better impressionable by such manners.
