Why could not post Announcement by Email before Update?

I want to receive announcement In Game to know when the update begin!thank you.

because:
1. I couldn't live on this forum per second to get Update Announcement and I don't know anyone of my friend could do that.The game is awesome,I live on it.
2. Update Time is very very important for our plan,to start a war or build sth.I finally save 30000 Dark Elixir and is hesitate to complete my worker's work by diamond to level up my king,but update is begin...After two hours,When I saw i was attacked...I was frustrated...

Or... You can just check out the forums, which is easier.

some people don't use the forum. Like kids.

I agree. These updates should be announced in the game. They have the capability. They should exercise it.

The information is always available under the settings button. Just click on "News".

They did. A 5 minute warning. Even the forum announcement for the update was less than an hour old when the in-game warning was made. Odds are they didn't know when, or didn't want to say when, until they were good and ready to say they were ready. They don't want to paint themselves into a self imposed deadline for no good reason. Just be happy with the awesome update, will you? I saw the message for maintenance, had a good feeling about it, saw the announcement on the forum and was thrilled. Why can't you guys be more thankful with what the downtime can mean like I am?

I do check the forums at least once a day usually more. Can't live on the announcements page every minute though. Whatever notice they gave was uselessly short, might as well not bother.

It did not ruin anything for me, I am over it already and the updates are cool. But I agree a little advance notice would help clans trying to do war planning. (We all get together online to do our attacks so we would have planned a time around that)
