I think all of us are looking at this the wrong way.
The real issue here is not fans being annoying & us not being patient. The real issue is the difficulties that the developers faced after launching this website & presumably being very close to releasing the update.
I think it is fair to say that they did have a plan in mind & the update would already be with us if they didn't stumble upon the glitches along the way.
Or they could've just let the game be dead & launch this website by the end of this year or may be even next year without anybody knowing any better.
BUT, now that all of this has happened. It wouldn't hurt to ATLEAST get a glimpse of what they are working on OR what they have accomplished so far to keep the interest going because true fans like me are hopefully visiting this website on a daily basis just hoping to see something new.
You have this website. USE IT! Show us some pictures to keep the interest going if a mini update is not possible.
Because its not just the developers who are getting annoyed. The fans are too...
