I think we are all more than sick of the drip feed from the Dev at this point. Honestly, if we weren't sailing the highs seas living the pirates life, we would have all forgotten about this game. A lot of that hardest parts of the development have been done and after three quarters through we should be seeing content filling this game one month after another, the fun part of the the dev cycle. At the very least get some new species available as that, coupled with a brilliant character creator, we should be seeing dozens more new species since last year... but... nada... zip... a big fat f**k all. Not even any new tasks since Pride was popped in... which to be honest, I have never completed, it's not like I am going to get anything out of it. I don't think any of us even bother with that task board.
I will see you all back on this page on the next update... either next month, or two months.... or maybe I will be saying Merry Christmas to you all when we get back here.
