[QuintusSertorius]

quintus sertorious for someone with a roman name you haven´t read the classics all that well i assume or else you would have read seneca and understand that presenting a faction and then due to the lack of historicity having it removed would break people´s expectations and as seneca states "rage comes from broken expectations" so the last thing the team should do should be to break people´s expectations

Dude, punctuation is your friend.

As I said quite clearly above, what I was talking about was confirming a faction once it had been researched enough to be agreed as a faction. Not simply revealing a name then later having to withdraw it because later research showed it unworthy. It takes a lot less effort to say "yes, faction X is now in" than to prepare a preview (which can happen later).

i mean seriously when the game finally comes out most people will eventually return and even those that don´t imediatly will end up showing up even if it´s a year or 2 after the game was released, it´s not like the eb team gains cash from adds from people entering the site so they don´t really need the extra attention (or distraction) if they made cash then we could expect stuff like what you said wich is marketing and masses management and the team would make like 1 preview per week and after 2 or 3 years "sorry the fallowing factions won´t appear on the game"

As before, someone saying "yes, faction X is in, expect a preview in a few weeks/months" is hardly a great amount of effort or distraction. Hardly the scenario you suggest if the announcement only comes once its been confirmed.

In any case it's moot, the team like their approach to expectation management.
