Information is easy to get wrong if the topic's in development. If they announce something, they have to be absolutely certain that what they're talking about won't change before release. Imagine, (for example) they say "Praetoria will have content from 1-25! Rejoice!". We express our opinions (excited or disappointed). Then, in a month or so, they say "Sorry guys, if we want to release on time, we won't be able to do the 20-25 content.", people would be angry. There can be quite a bit of spite on the boards when there's been a misunderstanding, not to mention if information were to be revealed as false. This is why marketing are watching their every keystroke with their hawkish eyes, and why it takes a while to prepare announcements.

"Information" isn't hard to get "right" unless there is a LOT of it. That, or the information is being free-based into the test server in the form of code. |

I'm amused by the part where Ocho pretty much talks like he has no idea what the news is going to be. He does. He just can't say.|

So to recap. We want to get you info, as soon as we possibly can. You guys want info, but you want the right stuff. We're working hard to get it to you, and as soon as we can we'll share more. Thanks, |
I think the obvious answer is: "When Marketing releases the official press package," even if it's just a few pictures and a paragraph. Then, he'll cut and paste what he's allowed to.

Right, but if they are even watching their keystrokes, we're not in for just another resistance screenshot this week.

Oh, totally. Announcement, to me, implies they've got something they want to actually tell us, rather than another teaser. Which I loved, by the way. I'd attack people for more things like that. |

I could live for weeks on a few screen shots of costumes WE get. I am not so excited about seeing more NPCs with stuff I would like to have.

 I did say we should have an announcement of some sort this week, and I'll stick by that. What will it be? You'll have to wait and find out. I'd love to give it to you now, but we've got to wait until the appropriate time. Looking forward to being able to give you more info, |

Same here. **** the NPCs, I want to see new player costumes (unless they are unlockables, I don't want to see what I'll never use).

God, I wish that appeared somewhere. Anywhere!
Those Nemesis Warhorses are pretty sweet, yes.

I heard the whole reason they created the Ultra Mode was so that they would be able to have Big Red Ball in the game.
Uber Talgrim - level 50 emp/dark defender
Uber Rod - level 50 dark melee/regen scrapper
Rod Valdr - level 50 invuln/SS tanker
Talgrim - level 50 ninja/dark mastermind
OMG!! Please add these costume designs now!

I'll be on holidays until the 21st of February doing a grand tour of the South Island, accessing the net spottily through non-3G GPRS mobile internet on a 4G Eee PC which can't possibly run CoH.
Meaning: Likelyhood of a grand launch/announcement over the next couple of weeks: High. You're welcome everyone.

You know what's really making me ache to hear more about GR?
The fact that no one can stop talking about how we're not hearing anything.
