perhaps to help you understand: in my opinion you didn't make the question clear enough and allowed him to slip out of it easily while making it sound goodbuzyb77 wrote:Quote:

No : cleaning and content production are two separate things, with dedicated teams working on both fronts. While the code team is focusing on cleaning, the leveldesigners are producing new content for the game. As a matter of fact, the spring clean even helped content production to increase its delivery rate : as explained in the Clean-up! article, a large part of the spring clean is actually targetted at helping content to reach the game more easily and cleanly.
Even if this week's patch was mainly a bugfix patch (the new testing process helped us to find some subtle bugs with texts, so we pushed back content release), but new content is still being produced.
better would have been: I am all for Clean up But.... Does this mean there will Be 0/none/zip/zelch/nunca/(all the words David Spade says in Captial one commercials) Content implemented on the life servers during the course of the clean-up?
this leaves no room for interpreation, but your original question is, to be honest, wide open. he might've known what you wanted to know, but in order to make it usable as advertisement he had to choose an interpretation that basically let him answer anything.
and his answer is just that: "during the spring clean-up we will work on the content too", which is entirely true as the ats proves
he never said anything about when it will be released tho.. my guess is that all that was worked on during the clean-up will come as one big patch at the end of it
(a lot of what is in the glimpses is already implemented on the ats as well)
