Announcing stuff on the forums might actually give people a reason to visit them.

Carbine actually does have people working on the weekends. Quick check through the Dev Tracker will show you posts made by Carbine Studio Staff on weekends. Mini has a point, if they can make the announcement on their twitter, they can throw a quick copy/past in the News and Announcements section here.

Yes, it is irrelevant. I only made myself a twitter account extremely recently, and that was only to enter a contest. I don't check W* twitter except when I get the stupid "Website is under maintenance" when I try to log into the forums and I'm just checking to see if it's a goof-up with Chrome or if the website really is under maintenance. I use Facebook for my family, I don't think I ever "Liked" anything from W* on it. And even then, the notifications get so annoying that I changed my password and never updated it on my phone. I check my email a couple of times a day. Emails, main website, and forum posts are how I usually get any relevant info about W*, which is how it should be. We shouldn't have to rely only on their social medias for info about the game. What we see on social media should be a quick blurb and a "Click this main site/forum link for more in-depth information :D"

Another person who does not actually read the thread, PTR when was this the topic here ? My constructive feedback and plea started way back in  24 December 2014 - 07:09 PM https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/120334-support-them-please-carbine/ I even went a stage further and asked for information to be posted at the login screen like some other games do

In all honesty, I don't care if they use Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, or whatever. As far as I see it, the issue is the information is far too spread out. Some stuff is on Facebook. Some is on Twitter. Some gets revealed during the weekly stream. Some is posted on Reddit. Some here. Hell, some gets sent to your email. The Devtracker tries to solve this some, but it's a little clunky and leaves things out. There's no one place to go to get information about the game. It's like you have to go on a scavenger hunt if you want to keep up with things. I will say I think they've been doing a little better lately (really loving all the communication recently), but what the OP is complaining about is a good example of this:  PTR date sent via email (and was never posted anywhere that I could see), delay announced on stream.

Your mistake is another's miracle. WE have no idea where the game stands (that's proprietary). But that it's being released in a new and untapped MMO market, and on Steam, and that Carbine is hiring mean that we've at least got a good bit of time left with W*, and much much longer if those ventures pan out. Please for the love of honesty, accuracy, and integrity STOP MAKING FALSE CLAIMS ABOUT THE GAME! There's no way we can know its on "deaths door" given the information available now, which al points to the game continuing into the future. Yes that could absolutely change, but with out evidence of that all it is is fearmongering and doom speak. Doom speak long enough and eventually you'll be right, but you're wrong for far longer.

What does it matter? In no material way are we impacted if we don't know the exact date they initialize redmoon on the PTR. Sure, it's great knowing everything; but if we get a delay in implementation there's literally nothing we can do about it on our end. Why are we razing *cupcake* because we were notified on the stream rather than email, or on the forums, or on twitter, or on facebook....?

Being a MUM is not "working" or a "job". It is a responsibility you've taken on by having children. This is a game run by people who work for a company and are paid for their work during weekdays. Hey, maybe they even get to go home and look after their kids on the weekend! What's the big deal about having to wait until after the weekend for an official announcement anyway? Surely it wont take that much effort to put a line through "testing PTR yay!" on your calendar and penciling in "watching daytime soaps again". The only thing Carbine has done wrong here is sending out an email about it and not being able to deliver, which is something that will only reinforce the communities view about them not being able to deliver...
