Of course, how could producing a live stream to thousands of people, involving hundreds of participants and a structured tournament setting possibly take any time. And I'm sure no prep work is required for the 8-10 hour at a stretch fully manned and commentated broadcasts that start next weekend.

July/August are apparently the big vacation months for most of CCP staff. And yes, they live in a civilized country where most of the employee's get at least 4 weeks off a year. "sigh".

CCP uses Dev Blogs apparently for good press only, but still EveO has fanboiz. :) I especially like the bragging about bumping a botter in a system with a Polaris. Bumping, huh? Can't think of anything else to do to a botting account?

And the sycophants gobble it up.

Dev Blog cover new features, upcoming changes, and problems that are being work on.

Perhaps you should read a couple before commenting.

People never seem to grasp the "Summer Vacation" thing.

Let me break it down for you

Summer - Now
Vacation - Not Working

Around this time every year, there is bugger all people around so don't expect anything for a good couple of weeks.

I lied :o

It's a cycle. As new expansions near release, dev blog frequency goes up. Right after an expansion, devs take their vacation days and there isn't as much to talk about because new features aren't locked down yet.

Good. CCP is saving your life.

Didn't you know that sitting on the pooter with a laptop can give you testicular cancer? Or even electrocution if you sneeze and drop it in.

Be thankful, not angry.

IIRC they have some devblogs written and ready to go out but the person who needs to approve them before they can be published is on leave.

Thought the CSM disbanded till Mittens was done vacationing

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

That's only the prelims and qualifiers, the finals are done on a brand new stage. It has quite a lot of pre-production actually.
