JFreeman: I understand. Really I apologize for the lack of communication recently (or...maybe a little longer than "recently"). We've gone through a bit of a team restructuring phase post-CU and post-RotW, assigning different programmers, artists and designers to different sub-teams as the RotW team and CU team came back into the general mix. Some of us are even still moving offices (and almost everyone moved from one office to another, if that gives you any idea of the scope of this). I'm the new Live Lead Systems Designer, for example. It's taken me a couple weeks just to figure out what's going on (prior to this I was on RotW, and prior to that on JtL, so I haven't been "in the loop" much with regard to the live game or combat upgrade). We also have a new live producer and a new creative director (who still needs to pack up everything he owns and move to Austin!). Communication will improve, and so will the quality level of our publishes. Thanks for hanging in there through this one! May there never be another like it...

Oh cmon .. take a deep breath ... you can't be saying your supprised people working at SOE actually get paid ? Thishappens often in the real world when people have jobs you know *grinning*

Really i read his message like a postive one .. "Yes we screwed up a bit ... happened with the production of the CU and RoTW and not enough people on live", "we are aware of it and have every intend to make sure this doesn't happen again".

Now to me, seeing past publishes and huge bugs that made it to live, it is good news they intend to improve this :-)
