Hello Everyone,
 
I've been reading the threads about the producer's letters.. and it's obvious you're looking for a lot more detailed information. So we're going to give it to you. The format of this will be an update of what we plan to do for the next 6 months at a high level.. on a publish by publish basis. There will be a lot less information about the stuff that's further out and more details the closer we get to today. This will be a living document that we need to keep updated. You can reasonably expect this to change over time.. and you can expect that this won't contain every single thing we're working on... only the big ticket stuff. You can also expect that we're going to very, very agressively attack the bug database in each and every publish and hotfix.
 
It's important that if we're going to lay out this kind of a plan, that you be as understanding as possible when things change. Sometimes we may push something from one publish to another for logistics or resource reasons... but overall we're going to give you a lot more info about what we're working towards so you can understand it and comment on it. Doing something like this can be dangerous - if we put Entertainers in one patch and Creature Handling into another.. one group or the other will likely be upset... so all we ask is that you understand that we're working very hard towards making the game better.
 
You can expect this publish plan by the end of the week.
 
Thanks

Ok I'll bite.
 
1 Is there going to be real details involved? Not just general information but actual detailed information included?
 
2 If there is a change to the schedule are we going to be given the reasons why there's a problem and accurate info on when we could expect it to be put in? We've seen plenty of revamps and publishes promised that don't get delivered over the last 2 1/2 years while questions about them are totally ignored.
 
3 Suprise additions. We've had alot of stuff pushed out to live that wasn't tested or in any notes beforehand, is this going to be a complete list that is updated to include changes that may be have to be put in without much notice for whatever reason?

In order to keep this reply "Star Warsy" and "Iconic" I have but one thing to say: TOO LATE!!!!!!!

But seriously, I cancelled after reading the Producers' Letters today, and I don't plan on renewing after my sub ends until I hear a lot more. I am willing to listen, so I'll see what's in store the next month or so in these posts.

Besides, no matter what ya do, someone's gonna be unhappy.

insert generic rollback/reversion to old system request

I support not being edited by admins for a non offensive statement
still support the firing of Torres and smed out of a cannon into the sun.
I still hate the NGE and all the missery it has brought to our community.
I support a legacy server with a pre-cu version of swg.

If it happens it will be like times past when there *was* a publish by publish tentative plan (tentative as it could not always and of course sometimes wasnt) delivered.

Time will tell of course.

Ok then.. how about some detailed information on the Bugs existing on TC which have been reported numerous times, Threads of said bugs being deleted over and over again on the TC forum, and the fact that they haven't been fixed?
