that is what the most uninformed player will always think for this game.
At least BC said long ago he want to merge the first 4 week into one full 1Month package, BC had to do major changes on the first 3weeks code (wich was why this hiatus happened) , but he still need to release the forth week before releasing the 1Month pack.
Or that is what they wanted us to believe
Edit: please correct me if I misunderstood something.
granted it has been 2 years, and I wasn't one of the people who hung around to get the updates along the way
(checked in like 5 times over the last 2 years)
from what I remember, when the original hiatus happened it was explicitly to fold the 3 weeks into a 1month
(as the game started in the second week of sept/start of school year)
then as time went on and working on the merge proved to be an even bigger mess than the original few days into week1
(something called by MANY users at the time)
the story changed, and it became 2 years of every time I checked in there was one person acting as the middle man for Blue
trying desperately to convince people that things were not as bad as it looked and please have faith and they're still working.
Now, as a former programmer myself, I have sympathy, sometimes code just refuses to do what it is supposed to because you don't see a single typo or some shit.
(Although personally, blue probably could have rewritten the entire code from scratch by now)
