I'm going to agree with
@WhyShouldIEver, I'm saying this because the way I would have worded her post would NOT be as nice as her (or he).
Players do not want to be sitting around for days not knowing what is even coming. You think players like that? Well, I know I don't. Keeping the reasons why it's taking so long a secret is not something to keep a secret. These matters should be shared so you don't have players screwing it and quiting the server.
Note: I'm not meaning any rudeness, as I do lose temper sometimes.
