Ah, a new year and through the dark clouds of cynicism a light of hope shines!

This would be a good time for the developers to publish a "plan" and I use that word loosely because it wouldn't really be a plan. Think of it more in terms of a list of goals or milestones. I would like to know what kind of improvements the developers have in mind over the course of this year; most importantly, what direction they want to go. I don't want to hear about cheating/scripting, or content, but instead about developments to the gameplay and mechanics. For example, what skills/items do they want to balance/modify, and how they're thinking about doing it. It doesn't have to be in-depth.

Yes, I know. They likely wouldn't want to do it as not to set false expectations. But think of it like making new years resolutions: it's what you want to do, but it's not the end of the world if you do not meet them. I just want to know where the game is going instead of constantly being clouded in confusion and poor documentation (and did I mention the endless, useless Stratics threads?)
