Do you prefer longer or shorter announce-to-release cycles?

I like shorter announcements; it leads to a lot more speculation and build up instead of sitting back and waiting for something for a year. I noticed for myself, when new packs get announced, I have a hard time playing the game as is when I'm waiting on new information.

A bit of both. I hate going so long without hearing anything but I also hate waiting to actually get the pack

I prefer shorter because I hate the long waits.

I miss the old days when we learned the theme of the next pack 6 months in advance. The wait was longer but the speculation was fun. I wish the devs would give us the theme well in advance so we could submit ideas for things we would like see in the pack. Some of the ideas in this forum are truly amazing and should be incorporated.

This.

If they came out right now and said "We're working on University, but it won't be released until Novemeber." I'd be thrilled! They don't have to say anything more than that. Don't tell us what's in it. I'd love to speculate and share ideas.

Shorter works better for me. When it is a long time to wait I get a bit tired of the pack before it is even released.

This pack sort of appeared from nowhere. Kindda strange... ;P Almost missed it, didn't have it on the radar at all... Curious surprise!

I'd like a couple of weeks. The speculation, the wild guesses, the antici...



...pation.

I definitely prefer a bit longer than the Strangerville release, mainly because I need some time to make my households ready for the new content. Also because I like getting small pieces of information over a couple of weeks, but not for so long/not so much info that I feel I have already experienced all about the pack.

I'm not saying I need to know a year in advance or even six months but they don't announce anything till just a couple weeks before release while we go several months without information. I don't think teasing or announcing tid bits a couple months in advance is much to ask for. It gives us plenty of time to speculate and have fun with what's to come next and allows us to know something about what they're working on and planning for the series. Which in turn could make the game more fun as you won't get so bored of it so quickly as we do now when things aren't announced till next to release date.

I don't enjoy the long information droughts. It would be better if we had a stuff pack or two a year to tide us over, on March 13 it will have been a year since the last stuff pack.
