Just to clarify, "release" in my vocabulary refers to the next patch, not launch. This is to say that the next wipe should be the last one if everything goes according to plans.

If I happen to make some horrible economic tuning decisions though, well, then all bets are off..

Trust me, this stuff is not easy to fix. If it was it been fixed by now. Were probably looking a couple hundred man hours into the issues.

Honestly. You people want devs to post here more often, yet you act like they are trying to scam you. They're building a game, they can't guarantee something won't mess up, so they can't say for sure whether something will happen or not. Quit acting like this, why would anybody want to ever speak to you when you quote him, and tell him because he said "Should" it doesn't instill confidence.

Either listen to the devs, and quit complaining, or shut the hell up about wanting them to post here more often. On the IRC, we ask questions, we tell them stuff. We don't complain, call them names, or continue on about one problem in particular.

Although, I highly doubt that's the reason they don't post here often, I know it'd help getting them here more, if you actually helped them, rather than bitched. Unless, of course, you want to code the whole game yourself, mail it to them, and let them take it as their own.
