I think there's a difference, though, between hanging the release over our heads and reasserting "it's coming" over and over, not giving us any sort of relevant time frame such that we basically waste a whole day waiting/expecting half the time, or miss out on the early-release hype. I seriously don't understand, even after being through the 1.0, 2.0, 2.6, 2.6b, and 3.0 releases (wasn't there for 2.1-2.5b), why it would hurt to say something like "it'll be a few hours" or "we ran into an issue, so it could be more likely tonight instead of this afternoon", or something. I appreciate what the PMDT does, but I don't think it's reason enough to keep us 99% in the dark--unless there's something I've missed.



I don't know, it's just that around release time I often feel pretty strung along for the sake of "hype intensifying" when it's really not that fair or reasonable to do so, and to essentially waste my day waiting. Yes, I get that this game is free and the PMDT isn't obligated to do any more for us than they already do, but it's just... with as much work as they DO do for us, you'd expect something like giving a reasonable timeframe for release to be done without question... Yet, they don't. It's jarring, disconnecting, and it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.



Some people are being just plain impatient and childish, of course, but I think there is something to be said in constructive criticism about the way this stuff is executed...
