Thread: The REAL quote from TH on caps
The caps will be lifted by the next publish which is currently schedule for the first week in December.
Everyone who worked hard to gather their groups into a city will be able to realize their City Plans at that time.
The caps are temporary as they were always meant to be.
No one will be prevented from making their City Dreams come true.

There are a couple of problems with this post. First its just not true. The caps will be changed but not removed as TH later cleared up in a post here http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Developers&message.id=11108. Second The cap lifting in December idea was before they proposed changes to outposts which were to remove the outposts from the city cap and place the cap at level II. Also in that post I just referenced. The post you quote is outdated and inaccurate.
Agree, the quote from above was released shortly after we found out about the caps. This was his response where he mentioned the caps being leaked.
Since then they have gone with the new outpost strategy. As I said in the other thread, they insinuated that the outposts not counting against the cap would go in immediately. Also there were 3 elements to this new strategy:
1. Outpost don't count against planetary caps.
2. Outpost can no longer collect taxes.
3. All city population requirements are being incresed by 5.
Of course the 2 that hurt players made the patch, and the 1 to help people out did not. I can not understand the rationale of putting in 2 of the 3. #2&3 should not have been put in until #1 happened.

TH said the capps WILL BE raised, not removed.
He did NOT say the capps will be raised THURSDAY..........
so far, the only promised time frame is still the next publish (december), I have yet to see where he said it will be changed with todays hotfix
Agent001,
You are correct I believe the post said "we will be working in the next few days and weeks on this". I do believe from Thunderhearts tone, he insinuated that it would go live with this hotfix patch. Why would they put in 2 parts of the strategy and not the third. I can forgive them not having it ready for todays patch, but why put in the negative items if they aren't putting in the one positive aspect?

That December statement was debunked by Blair whos stated that the cap could be changed via hotfix and didn't have to wait until a publish (December) http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Developers&message.id=10940&highlight=#M10940
In any effect the same post that explains that the caps will be raised and not eliminated states they they will remove outposts from the cap altogether and seems to link that change to changing the taxation on outposts (which I don't understand) and raising the citizen requirements accross the board (which I do understand but also realize this is a burden to those of you lucky enough to have cities already)
Yep, you've got to love official statements by agents of a company that are untrue at the time they are made....
