History of The Sims 3 Release

[Cassie]

Well, obviously we'll get something on Friday (well, maybe Saturday depending on how long it takes to get online), and then around every week or two we'll get smaller updates with just non-revealing screenies, probably.
Like you said, Tal, we'll probably get our BIGGEST update with AL, like the CD we got about TS2 in Makin' Magic.

Can someone answer me this, since I was only about 9 or 10 around the time of Makin' Magic, so that was the first I discovered of TS2 (the CD). How long had most of the hardcore fandom had known about TS2 before then?
