Though with Plasma Corp and the upcoming house rating system, I think that the staff team is giving players at least a hint of what to expect.
I guess with Plasma Corp and house rating, the staff in charge is dedicated and on track towards finishing? I'm not sure what happened with the CS staff member, but there must be a way to gauge when an update is safe for announcement. I think you guys are doing great with the recent updates. I really love knowing that something new is being worked on. Era has an odd way of dropping updates without organizing a release date, and I'm okay with that.

It'd be neat for there to be more global events. Grab the fountain was a great way of bringing everyone together and I wonder if it's possible to do something else in that way. You could shift everyone's attention to things that aren't done as much like mail delivery or grape smashing for a limited time prize or even a gralat bonus.
