Well, its a fair criticism that I haven't been posting like a madman. So what have I been doing?
First, please try and remember that I have to watch out over three brands (UO, DAoC and WAR) and don't have the luxury to devote myself entirely to UO. That's not an excuse or anything, just a simple fact of my life.
Second, I try and let Jeremy handle the day to day care and feeding of the community. I never liked bosses who step in and trample all over my area of expertise and steal my thunder. I try not to be that person.
Finally, we do have a lot to share and " the community needs to know what we are planning" is a drum I beat frequently. That's actually where I am spending the lion's share of my UO time. I go around to people and stress the importance of live events and how having them on a regular and consistent schedule is important to our community. We talk about bug fixes, when we can announce what is going on with the next live event and debate many other things about UO. Meetings chew up a lot of my time.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of conflicting needs between design, development, testing, marketing, etc. What this means is there are still some things we are not ready to talk about it. Yes it's April now and I'm still saying that, you did not hear me wrong.
The good news is, we are doing things, we just can’t talk about them....yet. I will go back to beating my drum now.
