Uh yeah so aren't they doing what they can in getting the job done then for their side?

I've had to work with people in Hong Kong from Canada and while email was our main method of communication they were times when it would've been more effective to simply contact with each other over the phone. For the people who didn't had office hours it was easier to work with but that lawyer....

Otherwise I would have to wait for the response time since the guy on the other end won't be responding until he wakes up and goes to his office.

IMO it's good they hold off final release until its done right...please continue this trend into actual game and expansion releases!

On the contrary, I wish they'd hurry the hell up and patch this horribly broken game that's been so for the past 4 months. Patience only goes so far.

Yeah, but when i chat to Pala or Caliban, it's late evening in Australia and early morning UK. So they're not in the CA Oz office, how are they supposed to chat about things effectively if they're not at the office and bring up the code, or bring up the list or whatever.

I don't know, stay up later so you can talk to them when they are in the office?

I'm not trying to be silly, but we all have to do it. I pulled plenty of all nighters in college because I had stuff I had to get done. I'm doing the same thing now going through law school. I'm not asking they work 24 hours a day all the time, just when there is a huge issue that needs to be dealt with such as this you may have to work around some inconveniences.

Palamedes earlier was pulling a late one, he was working til 7pm or something at the office, and that was only 10am here. They're already working over the usual 9-5, and they'd have to stay at the CA Oz office til about 10pm there time to leave enough time for a good convo with the UK office.

Well, in the business world, sometimes that is what has to be done. The other comments made it sound like they really weren't attempting to make it work like that. If they are doing that, then good.
