Hey WhiteK,
A lot of people mention bringing more people on board, but if you look at a lot of game studios, you'll see that doesn't always equate to faster development.
The development itself doesn't take much time on my side, but preparing and communicating with other companies (along with the bureaucracy that comes with it), figuring out exactly which priorities should be focused on, and what needs to be backburnered based on situations case by case is what takes a more significant role in the distance in time between patch releases.
As for transferring IOU, I anticipate a full month for the transfer if it becomes official, no more, and definitely not less. The game logic itself would require little change, it would mostly be all the features that connect to the database, payments, web services, and user->user interactions. We'll see how things play out soon enough
I'm certainly not worried about it, just more workload, and I enjoy my work.
