In the past, Nexon North America hosted Q&A with some of the Korean Devcat developers in a means to show they have not lost touch with their western audiences. This is what I am referring to as a 'status update.'
Would love to see some actual links of this (NA ones, not the EU one posted earlier). 95% chance that the Q&A was just safe questions like "Will you make a second weapon for Hurk" and very general answers. Almost every Q&A with a game company ends up the same. It is considered taboo in the game industry to ask any hard questions when interviewing devleopers. Hell, games reviewers have gotten fired for giving less than stellar reviews before. Q&As are frequently used as PR events, not as information sessions. A quick 15 mins spent typing up vauge answers and then firing them off via email to some community manager is the norm.
Look at the EU one for examples of general answers :
Q: Will you work on older contents with high potential like Resenlian's Labyrinth, Colhen/Rochest Gauntlets,
Fishing or PvP? If not, why?
A: We can't tell you the exact date but we do have a plan to revamp older content other than the regular battles or raids.
None of the older content got revamped, because Devcat doesnt work that way. They constantly push shiny new content to cause a end of quarter spike in player numbers and revenue. Thats why we got stuff like ein lacher insted of revaping lab/gauntlets/etc. This is the typical game dev answer that dances around the issue.
Unless an official Nexon NA representative confirms that they are doing a Q&A and asking people to submit questions, attempting to get a status update from Devcat here is, sadly, nothing more than wishful thinking. Even if we do get a Q&A, it will probably not be very informative anyway.
