Dear Cal,

I don't want to be mean, as your update is an attempt at communication.. However, it does look very bad when you post this one day after a thread like this: http://vboards.stratics.com/showthread.php?t=209383

We want more communication from the Dev Team, even it its just a small note every other day or so. Reactionary communication is never going to be taken well. If the p(l)ayers have to complain that you aren't communicating enough, please step up communication as a whole.

The 'Ask the Dev' forum is seen as a joke, and a bad one at that. Its barely utilized, and when it is the information given is usually either a non answer or addresses something extremely trivial (i.e. ink bottle question, sorry Mapper) Please, have someone spend an hour a week answering several questions - not the five minutes that has been expended in the last three weeks (thats unacceptable).

Since the death of FoF, and the layoffs last year, your subscribers have been starving for information about their game and its future.

What this really is is a stall tactic because I am in the middle of three other things tonight, and don't have time to write a full letter until tomorrow.

Which means there's no way it can run the gauntlet of marketing and community until Thurdsay ... BUT! I wanted to let you know what's on my mind. (Also, I have to send it in time to get translated in Japanese)... No .. nothing is ever simple.

66 is on the verge of coming to test center, and therein you will see a lot of the Pub Notes, also I'll give more info as I have time to give my full attention to a proper update.

Hope this helps.
