More communication between the dev team and players

I'm sure most of you players out there want to know what's going on, you'd like to know if the developers are listening to your ideas, even if they disagree.
To be honest, one guy (Overlord) posting regularly just isn't enough. Sure, there is a newsletter. It's quite good, I have to admit. But there could be much more of that good stuff. The developers blog section, it's empty! How come? It's a great way to communicate with players, give them/us a chance to comment on ideas and make sure those comments reach those who are involved.
I suspect many developers read the forums, but they might not have the time to write a small essay in anwser to questions that have already been been explaind. I can understand that.
However, I think that if they somehow took the time, this would instill some much needed hope concerning where this game is headed. I feel there is just too many questions left unanswered right now.
Or am I alone in feeling this?
