Oh gosh, I'm pretty damn excited. But I don't think AN should rush it or anything on our accounts. Judging by past updating speed and the lack of threadlock this time around, something big must have gotten in his way irl. Life happens sometimes, and that's ok. I'm glad an update's happening, but I find it kind of offputting how many people are poking and clamoring for an eta on the update everyday.
I'm excited, but I don't want to put any pressure on AN at the same time. I'm patient, and he's already been updating pretty damn frequently for a good 6 months now. I already know he's gonna come out with an update at his own pace(which is nothing short of phenomenal, seriously), and it'll be awesome. The heads up beforehand is just a bonus.
