Some sort of state of the union?

[narizue]

I know that I am not alone in wanting the developers of the game to convey in some sort of state of the game address their vision of where the game is going. A quick search through General Discussion and Development Discussion turned up the following threads, all active in the last 10 days,all requesting some sort of long term vision statement from the developers.

Level cap increase.
Devs when can we...

The long term vision of the game is something which I believe many players would like to know about. We love this game, we love the friends that we have made in this game, and simply put we just want to know where it is headed. Not in the vague references of "down the road" or "a little bird told me" but in the same fashion that we received with the last state of the game address.

Folks have alluded to this occuring, but then silence. No response. For me this is the most maddening and disheartening occurance within the game.

We love the game. We just want to know where its headed.

Can we please schedule a state of the union, soon?

I wouldn't object to a little teaser treat from the Devs. Sorta what's on our plates and what we're thinking thread so to speak. Heck project leaders could speak up and say "hey this is what we are thinking about for "x" " and then ask for a little feedback about it. Not that they'd have to listen intently to our comments or opinions but htey'd get a feeling abot how things would be received by the community.

The State of the Union is strong.

Your Union is strong.

My Union is strong.

All unions are strong.

That is its State.

We are Here. We will thrive.

We are Strong.

And so the Union is Strong.

... um... We're taking our union to court. Union ... not so strong... not so good. Definately not so helpful

Haha, but isnt that kinda of like suing yourself?

Anyways, I'm all for the ideas well. However, as things "seem" to be, most of the mentioned items have been brought up by Turbine in the past (been awhile I agree), however the seem to keep getting pushed back as well. In turn that probably means that little to nothing has changed from the past expressions Turbine has made in this area, and probably little to no extra progress has been done on them either. That would tend to suggest a quietness on Turbine's part because they simply have nothing new to say, or just repeat what they said in the past.

Still, I too would like to hear it as well

I concur.
