I've heard that the devs occasionally post something that tells the players what's going to happen for the month. Why not make another "announcement" type forum that is restricted to the devs. They can post info or just give teasers to players. Us players don't like being left in the dark. Maybe like a single sentence from the devs would reassure us that they're still alive XP. I support OOO and the creators of the game, but how about some occasional notifications on what approximate % of what they're working on. Like a percent bar for the next update :P.
I have the similar tendency to know what Three Rings have got in their plans for updating Spiral Knights, but I... sorta... don't see how that is going to help get us closer to know what's coming. I mean the devs do occasionally post their plans from time to time, but I just simply wish the devs would communicate to us Knights a bit more often. I know they're quite busy, but they may need to speak to any of us a bit more sometime or later. I don't mean to criticize you in any way. So, no offense.
