I would rather wait until there are enough people done with Halflings that we don't get stuck in the chapter because of not having enough people to trade with, because to me that's more frustrating, but I do wish they would give us some little previews or teasers like they used to do, some sort of explicit indication that yes, something is coming. (Although I admit that at the moment I'm mostly just hoping for a new post in the Announcements, even a minor one, because every time I come to the forum and see "New FA starts today!" my heart stops for a second before I notice the date.)
