I don't think they have ever released an update during Australian evening time, so I guess we should all turn the lights out in Farm Town and leave so that they get bored and call us back

yeah the lastest Ive seen them do that Helen is between 5.30 and 6pm. I guess the time has past huh? I dunno, is it just me or is it really not too much to expect someone, anyone, from the devs or mods department to give us some sort of information. Whats the harm in giving an approximate time frame for a release? If its going to be held up then they could announce that too. Really wouldnt take much and after the length of this thread and all the chatter and anxiousness, I just think it would be a great coutesy IMO. We pay good money on this game, and a lot of it at that, so I dont think its too much for us to expect.. or maybe it is. Really makes me wonder if its all worth it and just click the X and be done with it.. sigh Very disappointed overall!

I guess there is two sides to it. As I've said several times there was a time we went for four months without a word - although that was before we began paying for farm cash - and the pages of 'chatter' at that time were a whole lot longer than this is.

I think we should also perhaps factor the hurricane in .... and as for asking for a time out of courtesy .... all the old players know that if they did that and something went amiss and it didn't happen the 'chatter' would grow to a roar.

Lets just turn out the lights calmly and quietly and come back when they call us

Thankfully for them, they didnt need to factor the hurricane into it.. it bypassed them.. a bonus indeed. Oh well.. the excitement has passed.. EPIC anti climax so now I dont care, Ill get set about for a busy weekend! Have a great one everyone, stay safe! x

While Miami didn't get a direct hit from the hurricane the outer edge did pass over Miami so they had some storms form it. I don't know how bad they where but there could be some power outages from them. Hopefully if the devs did lose power they will be back up and running soon and we can get the update some time Friday US time.

Thanks Jas, there is very little coverage on Aussie TV, I've tracked it on the net to a certain degree, but haven't heard from my friend today.

The storms wind field is about 430 miles wide.

Miami didn't have hurricane winds but they did have tropical storms winds then.

While I agree with you the developers never stick to the time table they set. They said flowers would be out in 2 weeks it was more like 4 months. Halloween decorations coming out in the next couple of hours was more like 2 days and that is just a couple of examples. It would be great to get an estimated date of release but seeing as they never stick to them and people go crazy when they don't get what is promised on the date it is promised my opinion is it is best to not give a date.
