    Demanding and asking/debating isn't the same. People are infact entitled to have different views on subjects like this.

    A quick visit to certain MMORPG centric websites will very quickly let you observe the present, real world of how information is giving out to customers and also to upcoming customers of games still in development. Online gaming is a competetive market for game developers, and it would only be in SE's best interest so follow that trend and release some more specific info if they wish to entice people to pick up this game. I.e. people had no idea that patch 1.17 contained 20 mid-rank NM's instead of other hyped up features.

    You can say that SE is not at fault for several people hyping future patches. But if proper information was given out even just 3-4 weeks in advance, a lot of the hype would dissipate slowly.

    For every week that goes by, the outside world of this forum loses allot of interest, and the true test for this games future must be about getting new people to actually buy the game (or just to get some of the 600,000 that bought the game to come back). They won't if they think the game's dead.

    That's my view on the subject.

    Maybe they don't release info because their plans for the future are crap, and they know that if we knew their plans we would leave.

    If that were the case the servers would be off. That is one of the mosy closed kinded posts i have ever read. We're beta right now the truth will be in the puddong when se decides to start charging, until then for us playing its wait see and play what we get. As well with everything coming out and the mmo market being so cut throat letting others also in development know what ur doing is suicide bc someone could steal ur idea and release it first.

    I would suggest a little tact when posting

    If only SE would steal some other people's good ideas instead of stealing bad ones.
