Robert Pfister on the Next EverQuest Update
Dear Friends,

I wanted to pass along a quick update and let you know that we're shifting the July 8 update back a week to July 14. As you know from reading posts from Brenlo or playing on our Test Server, this update is quite extensive. This update will include several community requested features, quite a few bug fixes, and some back-end changes that, while invisible to you, will help us immensely in the future. These continuing community driven changes will help us to maintain a healthy game and to re-affirm to you, our customers and fans, that we do value your input and, when appropriate, enhance the game based upon your suggestions.

As part of our ongoing plan to provide you with the best possible play experience, we've looked at the testing that went on over the last several weeks and determined that these changes should spend another week or so on the Test Server. When we update, we want to be sure that the update enhances your play experience; pushing code too quickly doesn't do that. I know that many of you are eager for the changes you've read about or played on Test, however, I guarantee that the extra week will be well worth your wait. If you simply cannot wait to experience these changes, please feel free to join us on the Test Server. As always, your feedback is not only appreciated, but considered one of the things that continues to make this game so great!

Thanks again for your support and for you patience.

The statement is true, pushing code out too quickly does damage our gaming experience. The fact of the matter remains, however, that this mentality seems to get pushed to the wayside if it impacts money coming in the door.

Heh... 7 expansions later and just NOW they are figuring out that code pushing is like an nailgun enima to the gameplay...
