I don't know if "catching up" is the right term, but they definitely could have changed the methodoloy and mechanics of the game as of late to coinside with the shouting match for grindless MMOs. Well, levelless anyway, since devs don't know what it takes to fool people into not considering anything a grind. TSW has been in development for years though, but conceptual phases. I have fairly sure the announcement lined up with their final draft on what they plan to go with, because they have said nothing about it beyond conspiracy and other mysteries. I doubt it will have puzzles though, sadly the hype and cryptic messages may have nothing to do with actual gameplay... They would have to pack them out at a rate that can beat the fansites with the answers to them.
