Nick, seriously stop arguing just to be argumentative, its getting annoying.
They already have put up notes for the downtimes they are planning, they apologized a few times about missing putting it up for the last 2. Its obvious to anyone that's not blind that AoC is dieing FAR FAR faster then AO is and they are trying to recover it. Wish as much as we want but Funcom has limited resources, and making sure AoC doesn't become another TR is in fact a high priority for them at the moment.
If you don't like it, go to http://www.funcom.com/wsp/funcom/fro...&template=home chose "My Anarchy Account" and then cancel your account and go somewhere else.
You are 100% convinced that FC and Means' dev team will never be able to make proper changes to AO, EVER so why don't you save yourself, and us the Emo whine you create because of this and just follow those steps above this.
