I suppose they could come out and talk about all the things they hope to do, but then when half of those things don't happen, you're going to be upset that they said X was in the game and now it's not.

I know we all want to instantly have all the information released, but the fact is, that information doesn't exist until the game is done. We all want release to be next week, we all want to have all the class/planet reveals tomorrow, but that simply isn't possible.

For those of you who have never had to follow a game pre-release for a significant amount of time, get used to it, this is actually one of the better games to follow pre-release because things aren't being talked about and then changed or scrapped altogether 3 months later. I've followed games where the developers liked to talk about all the things they were going to do, and the game seemed to go through 3 or 4 iterations before the final product was released and it wasn't anything like what they originally talked about.

and no information doesn't point to Q4 of 2010, information points pretty much nowhere (Unless you take peoples guesswork in the poll as valid information). and it'll prolly keep doing that till a release date is given

And I've seen the spacing. If you look at Balmorra it kind of jacked the spacing all up from above don't you think. Even then, it Looks like there would 5 more for a total of 10.

So... relax and sit back, it's going to take a while
