And you guys saw last year what happens if they even make a hint at anything. You guys take it as scripture and if it doesn't end up that way you guys throw it back in their faces.
My observation in any case is revealing the details of the next release too early can hurt a server. If it were two months out still then it would shut down suspense and hype and anticipation. People would be upset and stop caring. They keep that train rolling until it's within a reasonable amount of time where players are still excited about it.
I think this is really a balanced perspective. Half the people in global are raging at people still selling characters that the ragers assert are going to be rendered completely worthless in the next two weeks, and even the boosters are seeing less hits based on an overly-aggressive sense of panic. So some sanity is needed because it's not an everything-or-nothing situation. Yes, experienced (BiS) players want to move on and are bored, but if you look at the percentage of players here, I'm not seeing that crowd as even a simple majority. It would be nice not to crush new players (me) trying to ramp up before the lich is unleashed, but the panic is even slowing down my ability to do that as the overstimulation of the masses is negatively impacting anyone but the BiS people who are already bored. So the people in the middle are tired of seeing global chants of "15 NOV" for a release that we all know isn't happening that fast. The exact thing that this post warns against is already happening, but still, this sanity check is therapeutic! At this point, I'd vote jmsvanbuskirk as a write-in for govna of virginia!
