Hi everyone - in a continued attempt to keep you as informed as possible, I have created a list of requested features/objects below. This list does not contain every single request, but it has the lion's share of the most common. Please understand that the items on this list, and their place of importance, can change at any time. This list is not meant to represent a commitment to an implementation schedule, or even implementation itself. It is to let you know of what requests we are aware and where they currently fall in the hierarchy of development plans. Currently we have scheduled out through four (4) content updates which are planned to be released roughly every 6-8 weeks starting in Mid-October. So as you can surmise, this would take us through about Mid-March. That does not mean we are stopping there, just that is what is scheduled out right now.
