I would agree but my objection of this type is that these information being kept secret between internal teams a lot.
I see no reason to spoil any additional information on public before release, join Ryzom Forge and one of involved teams and you will have more information. Or you should, at least some...
I see no need for secrecy. Ryzom has no competition because Ryzom is no competition to anyone. The only ones affected by the changes are the (paying) players.
You don't want to spoil us? I can take that fear away. We are ready. Because we are adults and can decide what content we are interested in and when we want to get this information.
I believe, and unfortunately I have to believe because I can't get enough information to know... that secrecy is a means of keeping information from the players because it's more convenient for the staff.
But please don't tell me that this has any benefit.
So the next time I'm in the RF meeting - and oh yes, I will - then I get all the information - because I ask for it there - cool.
The whole thing is like a political debate. A lot of bubbling and nothing comes of it. How about a specific statement:
"We will provide you with the information we want when we feel it is appropriate, and we don't care if you disagree".
"Topic closed" (Spoiler: it's not)
