Which they found out through the forums anyway, so that particular whine doesn't hold a lot of water with me. And the idea that they would make an unofficial announcement before they were 100% sure that they could hit their target date doesn't surprise me at all, and I certainly don't find it insulting.

The article on zam.com looks like it was approved by someone at Turbine.

It looks like Fernando said something off the cuff to a media outlet that was already in the building during a long conversation/tour, which doesn't even remotely smack me as being official or approved by anyone. Much like the Artificer 'announcement.'

I find it incredibly insulting that the developer's mom probably knew before us loyal fans. I can just imagine the conversation: F. Paiz' Mom (FM): Are you coming over for lunch on Sunday, dear? I'm making your favourite, roast beast and mashed potatoes. FP: Sorry, Mom, big release on Nov 9. Maybe the next weekend, if I'm not chained to my desk on that weekend too, crushing crippling bugs or resolving another multi-day downtime event. FM: That's too bad. What is it that you work on again? Dwarves and Demons? FP: Dungeons and Dragons, Mom. It's a computer game. FM: Is it much like Farmville? The more I think about it, the angrier I get. RAAGGE. People who know nothing and don't care at all about the game know stuff about it before I do. RAAAGGGEEEE.

Once it was great. Now, it's a festering puddle of monkey diarrhea. No matter how you try to justify it, or pat yourselves on the back for doing great jobs... it's a shit game now because of you. Y'all keep on giving the players the middle finger, and you keep expecting us to reward you for the abuse. I've had it with you narcissistic fuckwads and your myopic policies of ineptitude.

Quote: I cheekily asked my guides, Executive Producer Fern@ndo Paiz and Producer Erik Boyer, if they could tell me something brand new. So they did. They also said they would be telling everyone else very soon, so I panicked and now here I am with my precious information. That looks pretty damned clear.

DDO's Update 12 will be officially shipping on November 9th. I did the underlining. The bold part was done in the article. To say his information is "official" tells me something. No, I don't think he used the word "official" lightly. I think he got the actual word from someone in Turbine that wasn't necessarily Fern@ndo.

You can try to work around that all you want by reading too much into the word 'officially' being used by some 5th rate video game media outlet, if you want, I guess.

	Wow, that came up pretty quick. In between the events, and running for some of updated Epic gear and poking around with artis, I haven't gotten bored with U11 yet. Is this actually less time between Updates, or is it just me?

	The delay in U11/U11.1 makes the schedule seem tighter I would imagine. That combined with them trying to speed up the update schedule with new content to offset the number of subscribers going premium.

What they want is for one to be so obviously better than the other that everyone converts. For instance, right now everyone is running to Premium. Then, once they've gotten everyone on Premium they flood the market with VIP free options that cost big Turbine Points and slowly bring people back to VIP. Once they have enough people subscribed again they milk that with no/little new content for awhile and repeat. /put tinfoil hat back on the shelf

	Turbine made their strategy clear when they got rid of the WDA as the major source of new info. They want to release as much new info as possible through 3rd party sites first to attract new players. Gamers sites love when they get an exclusive etc so Turbine gives rotating sites the new info first to get them to make a big deal out of it. They know that current ddo players will go looking for the info wherever it happens to come from.

I'd expect a more noticeable difference when Skyrim comes out even though its an offline game. I'm a fps player at heart but my connection won't allow me to play anything requiring twitch gaming.

I still haven't had a chance to play anything content-wise that came after Lordsmarch's 2nd pack (Assault on Stormreach I think is the name). All the content that came after I just haven't had a chance to play. I have it...just can't fit it in time-wise.

I cannot wait for Planetside 2, the only real FPS worth playing was the original Planetside. WAY ahead of its time, and if you can get by the 2003 graphics, still the best FPS that actually implements large scale battles with Land and Air vehicles.

	Hmmm, are you sure about the date? There is no service announcement for a downtime tomorrow.

	That's not opinion, that's science. And science is one cold hearted bitch with a 14 inch strap on.
