I think instead that having anticipated so much time in advance the upcoming of DomIII has generated only frustation.
The developers should have keep a developers diaty to keep the afictionados close.
Some months ago the forum had about five times (if not ten) daily posts, a lot of the historical members are now gone and so on. And the DomII support is gone too (a handful of very important bugs have not been patched, and some of them are already corrected in dev version)
It has been a terrible marketing move.
Two choiches: you anticipate, and tell us the advances (this can be very easy, some screenshots every now and then would be enough) AND tell a date, or you stay quiet and continue support the old version.
By now Dom2 community is starving.
And if a poor affected playeer makes a post with the legitimate "some news?" question some come to answer "dont' make hurry to the devs! I enjoy a lot waiting! I know this will mean a better game!". Hmpf. This can be right for a free game (i.e.Nethack), NOT for a commercial game.
I thank the devs for this wonderful game, but I think they made a very bad move with DomIII anticipation in conjunction with their absebce fron the forums in these last times.
Sorry for my bad english, my two cents.

If you do a search on Kristoffer you will find that he as posted about 25 times in the last three and a half months or so, not sure what your standards are here but I believe that that is still a reasonable amount of interaction compared to most developers. As for diaries etc. all the usual stuff with JK and KO having real bread winning jobs still applies. Ideally they should also perform round the globe marketing tours with elephants and dancing midgets to hype dom3, unfortunately that is not going to happen either.
Re: Dominions 3 anticipation, a very bad move
