No DDI update in WOTC October calendar?

[zoroaster100]

I had been eagerly awaiting the October calendar to see when the Dark Sun and Essentials update to the Character Builder would take place. I don't see it in there. Am I missing it? I was not one of the folks who was upset about the delay thus far, but I'll be very disappointed it if is going to be another month without an update. With the online uproar about the delay, I would assume they would be sure to list the day the update is scheduled for if it was scheduled for this month.

Yeah, I'm hoping it's just an oversight, or a communication problem.

I've been fine so far, but I'd be pretty annoyed if we're without it for another month.

-O

My guess is that they don't want to publically commit to a date yet in case they discover problems with it in testing and have to move it again.
They'll probably put the date in when they're sure that they can hit it.

This.

If they have any sense at all, they don't want to put up a date until they are at least a little sure they can hit it.

Also note that the calendar is never final as is. Very frequently I have seen things added, removed, or rescheduled. So don't think that just because it isn't listed that it won't happen. Of course, the opposite is also true - just because it is listed, doesn't mean it will happen; they are very clear on their disclaimer of it being an editable calendar.
