Times between Expansion Caps

[DocDoBig]

Please (if you haven't read them yet) don't set up an opinion before reading these great threads with JustG's talk:

Please keep the discussions rant-free and clean, thanks!

For all the curious and data fanatics among you,
I thought it would be a good idea to gather up all the release dates for each expansion cap and to calculate the period between each of them to the next one,
so yeah, with this thread I wanted to show and share how much time between the expansions (caps) was used or needed to develop them.
I will count in Months and Days:

means the live development of SL started on this day


**Official (full) launch on Android


And here a little diagram:

The wait time for AO3, (PL's L50) was pretty long, too.

Overlay the release dates for dark legends and arcane legends and prepare to not be surprised.

That would be both sad and hilarious at the same time. Clearly STS doesn't have enough devs on staff to do more than one project at a time. Remember when Sam told us there would be at least one assigned to each game at all times?

Sorry, I meant OMG AL IS TOTALLY SWEET

[Epiques]

Apparantly Spacetime Studios is dedicating a lot more resources to AL than to the other games which seems to me pretty unfair.

Yea, they st8 out said that on another thread I read a month ago. AL has more people on it, is there reasoning.

There would be a lot more people playing SL like it used to if they put out content like SL used to get that made it so epic. DL appeared and everything went downhill.

I agree outright.

SL still is my favorite Legends game, but it is not solo friendly and since my guild left due to the lack of content updates, I had to move on as well.
