This is not true. I'm not sure where you got that misinformation. As stated in my Developer Updates, I am working on a series of patches and will start releasing them once I have enough content ready to ensure the release of regular patches for a while. In the past, I've rolled out updates and built up momentum but then lost momentum in the pause between public patches. I'm hoping to avoid the lost momentum once I start rolling out these changes.

I was hoping to release the first upcoming patch in January, (as I originally stated) but for reasons detailed in a recent Developer Update, I decided to continue working on and testing these changes for now. There are several Feedback Threads in the Developer Zone pertaining to the first of the upcoming patches.

Regarding the active population, we currently have around 500 players that log in at least several times a month and 100-200 logging in every day.
