Not to get folks hopes up, but part of the delay in the sandbox is that they are hoping to upgrade the plans so they can allow us to fit in a few more testers...
I was cranky without my morning coffee and jumped the gun. Sorry

Ever think they are just saying they are 'ramping up' the tech to get more testers in but it is just to buy more time?
Sorry that is my negative post for the day
Honestly...I don't think at this point they need to buy time...I haven't heard anything specific, but personally each day that goes by that we don't see the docs or for that matter, any type of announcement, it becomes more obvious to me that they may be putting things off until after JTL launches...it doesn't feel like acoincidence to me lately that the brunt of big announcements they've made lately have all be pretty JTL focused...
If I had to wager a guess, I'd say that SWG's bosses told them to make getting JTL their priority and not talk about anything else, including the Revamp, until they get it out the door (for a MMO, the last month of an expansion launch is a HUGE deal)...I do believe they are working on the Revamp and the Sandbox, but I'd be willing to bet that they aren't suppose to talk about it (so they don't get the JTL and the Revamp messages mixed up in players minds)...
I've gotten the impression lately that TH& Tiggsbeing thrown to the wolves...they want to talk about the Revamp...they are ready to talk about the Revamp...but something is preventing them from doing so...that's why I'm guessing it has a big part to do with JTL and the more time that goes by the more I feel that's true...

They throw themselves to the wolves everytime the post some vague and convoluted statement that leads to rampant speculation and flaming by the masses...I don't get the impression that Tiggs is that involved in the CB/R...My impression of her is an mal-informed mouthpiece for TH. She seems nice enough, but seems to lack the knowledge of the game her position would require (in my eyes anyway). The "Getting to know you and your profs" indicate that.
Since JTL is nearing completion (wish I could talk about JTL, but cant here), all hands on deck seem to be focused on it, and onlya few guys are left to maintain the core game, which they hope keeps limping along until release of JTL, and beyond. I have a bad feeling about JTL, and its effects on the ground game/CB...
I think its just going to delay it further.
