[QUOTE="Brown Jenkin, post: 4200022, member: 2572"] Sorry Mike but this is one more instance when keeping your mouth shut (or keeping your fingers off the keyboard) would be better. No one was asking for hourly updates or even remotely thought that this was important as a server crash. In this case though WotC made an announcement that when combined with other communications generated a major firestorm and bad PR for WotC. In order to deal with this firestorm WotC came to ENWorld (not the other way around) and asked ENWorld for questions. It was because of the Rouse and his desire to share info, even it it would take a bit, that people were temporarily satisfied and the subject has died down. This does not mean the community is happy or that we have forgotten, just that we are willing to give the benefit of the doubt and and are waiting on the answers to come back. Given the time frame that Scott gave, people interpreted this to mean May 5th at the latest. The impression I got was that people were asking for at least acknowledgment by that date even if the response was that you needed more time. Popping in to neither inform us of the answer or to say that an extension is needed and for how long is not particularly helpful, especially when combined with a post that says instead that you don't think the issue is particularly time sensitive. Obviously you had time to write a reply here, so why not use that time to say what is going on rather than rambling about how this isn't like a server crash. [/QUOTE]
