I dont remember anything coming out on a Monday.. maybe Tuesday... but most big updates such as these are things they would release on Thursday of Friday...

This is the longest Ive ever seen anything on test... pretty much everything is released during its first or second week after being released on test... this is going on its third.... even the inventory expansion with all its bugs and things to be removed and added didnt take this long. How many bugs can a few fish have?

The new inventory system, and new weapons were released in March 25-2010, and the last test update for the inventory system was April 22-2010. Almost a month after the inventory system was released, all the bugs for it on test were fixed.

Fishing is a big update, but not as big as the inventory system. And just because one update is bigger than another, doesn't mean the smaller update won't have more bugs. You'd usually think that bigger updates mean more bugs, but that isn't always the case.

For all we know, once this new island can be landed on, and we can do a quest for it, it will have just a few bugs. We could get lucky, who knows. I'm just glad they're taking their time with this update, because if they don't, then the next update is only going to be worse, because according to Speedway Masters thread, this Ravens Cove quest will involve potions and fishing. You can't exactly do a quest which involves fishing if all the bugs for it aren't worked out.
