This is not an issue which concerns the Dev. It has been discussed, ad nauseum, for several years by various people, (including me) but there is no plan to do anything about it AFAIK. It's just one of those things that makes AWAM so different from the average game. Isn't it great? Isn't it?..... It's not some "elephant in the room" & if anything the Dev is 'inside the elephant', because he doesn't appear to have heard anything about it. Elephants have thick skins & unless enraged or stampeded, tend to take things slowly, sometimes extremely slowly. They can also be relatively long lived, which leads to my next point.
I've been 'heartened' by the number of comments concerning the age of fans. Issues raised have included whether or not those surviving until they're over 40, will be able to 'fully appreciate' AWAM, if it ever introduces actual extra-marital sex, because of age-related potency concerns etc. It's "the children that are our future" & I'm so happy to read that we old-timers are in their thoughts. Believe me kids, speaking as somone well over 60, should you reach old age, I absolutely guarantee that will not be your main worry, (hard to believe at your age, I know...I used to be your age, you see) BUT you'll, presumably, still be able to indulge in the welcome diversion of AWAM, because another 30 years is not an unreasonable estimate for completion at the current roll-out rate.
Now, given that an older generation tried & failed to persuade L&P to have some kind of plan for how long all this was going to take, it's over to you, young stars of fresh opportunity, you beacons of a new dawn, you...well, you get the idea. Good luck....you'll need it.
