@Brigby any word on the new studio? Will we be meeting the new devs when they start? It would be great to get off to a positive start and have a Q&A session like we were promised and never given ages ago.
Also it would be nice to know that the game isn’t in a state of limbo (with tons of errors abounding) and that development will continue
I personally think that the multiple error occurring are on the server side and not on the game side. It is still a huge problem. And seeing the instability of the game lately, it is obvious that something is not right. Yet it will be nice to know what’s going on, but honestly, if the game is in a state of limbo, do you really expect them to say so?
Hey Everyone - Thank you for your questions, we are still working with former members of the team in the transition to the new team and once we are able to announce the new team, we will share information about them. We hope to be able to do this before end of the month. Thanks for your patience!

Well, to their credit, they never actually lied, just used enough vague or misleading language that we have been trained to mistrust the obvious meaning of statements. This one however I am taking at face value, even if they have the new studio lined up there are several reasons for not telling us who it is, not the least of which is the possibility that the deal could fall through.
They are doing this right.
Under promise, and then over deliver.
Only time will show if they are doing the latter, just not quite getting there, or not getting there at all.
Kirk: Mr. Scott. Have you always multiplied your repair estimates by a factor of four? Scott: Certainly, sir. How else can I keep my reputation as a miracle worker? Kirk: Your reputation is secure, Scotty.
Scotty: Do you mind a little advice? (MTGPQ Players) are like children. They want everything right now and they want it their way. But the secret is to give them only what they need, not what they want.
… and many are like teenagers, no matter what D3 tells them they won’t believe it and will often ridicule others that do so to make themselves look good. But the secret is to give them everything that they believe was taken away and restore their power player status so no one else can get the goodies [insert sarcasm]
