Why are some people freaking out? Rahi is still making the game nothing has changed with that.
Rahi has been working on the game everyday ever since first release and will continue to do so.
Also the updates will take longer depending on the bulk of the content. Updates with just coding is faster than one with mostly text because coding is easier for rahi.
Be prepared for that 3 month update average next year because when the big stories come back it's going to take some time.
