Don't quote me on this, but I am pretty sure the intention was to update everyone when there was 'substantial and notable progress'...that is vastly different than "frequent updates". This may be a case of hearsay, but I only expect updates when there is something to talk about. Otherwise, it would just be the same message each week...."Still Not Up, Still Working On It, Etc etc...". That would just be depressing for all. ;)

Nothing worth updating on when working on Necromancer from the ground up. Maybe when it's finished. :P

It is pretty stupid, people somehow expect that people working on a "FREE" server owe them something. Would I like to know when the server is coming back of course I would, am I going to be an idiot and keep asking and potentially ****** off the people working on said server to the point where they just say to hell with it? NO I AM NOT. To all the idiots that keep asking SHUT IT.

I don't think people believe the devs "Owe" them something by simply asking for an update. That's not asking for much. You can look at it both ways. Don't ask for updates and wait until it's done, but also by getting no updates, people will lose interest in the server for lack of information and potentially losing interest in the server. So you're losing population after waiting 4~ months for an update.

So people lose interest in checking the server for updates after so long, move on to another game, and you've lost that person. Get it?

I mentioned in the donation thread that I would be happy to donate 10-20$ a month even while it is down if they would just throw a bone every once in awhile. I don't want an ETA just general things like finished salvaging issues or working on drops in dungeons...anything to let me know they are still working on it. Even if they brokedown the game into 25 categories with percentages on where they think they are at just to give us an idea. Do I expect it from them unless I am paying? no =) but if they want me to donate they need to help me a little also

And if they don't need donations then this is a moot point anyways =)

To Backman66-First off anyone that thought this was going to be a quick fix is either stupid or fooling themselves. You think 4 months is a long time to wait then your not a very patient person. If people are so impatient that they lose interest in the server and don't want to play when it finally is done good riddance to them that will allow for more mature less childish people to play on the server. Also they know people want an update so when they have anything major to update people with I am sure they will. Oh and yes from what people have been posting it is very obvious they feel they are owed something or entitled and I very much dislike people like that. If I was paying for a product I would expect things as well but again its a free server and I for one would rather wait a year with no updates and have the server come back and be awesome. These people that are working on the server have lives, they probably have families. Again free server and impatient people can get bent, those are the same people that whine and complain about every little thing they don't like in a game instead of appreciating a game for what it is.

I've waited over 5 years for EQClassic.org so don't talk to me about patience. But they took down the only good DAoC server that is available these days and a lot of people are craving it again, and I'm sorry but 4 months IS a long time when a server is just under reconstruction. Sure people might feel a sense of entitlement because they spent years of their lives playing this game, and Uthgard wouldn't be where it is without the dev crew, but also wouldn't be what it is without all the loyal players. So I don't think we're wrong to ask for an update. Just saying, stop being so critical of people asking for an update. Everyone has their own views, respect that.
