Maybe there was a 10 day wait to see if another new player joined. That way they could say "look we brought three new players into EU!". I can`t wait to see if they do some real and effective marketing. One thing this universe has lacked forever and the biggest thing that has effected it over the years.
Meg, are you serious? This is the big news we've been waiting for? I really, REALLY hope not. David wrote: " It will be "ok I get it" for you all." about the big news. I don't. Also: "there are some new developments that I am not allowed to speak about for about 10 days. I am sorry but you'll see and then probably be happy about." He wasn't allowed to talk about this? WTF? It's all he has been talking about. No, I don't see and NO, I'm not happy. I honestly don't see any big news mentioned anywhere that would make anyone happy. I really don't see why he had to wait 10 days, or even 10 minutes to say this. Please, please tell us there is more news. Something we don't already know, and something that will really make a difference... All I'm seeing here is hype over fluff that may or may not be real. Can you tell us specifics about what is coming? Hundreds of great new BP's for new and original BP's for items that have never been seen in EU before? Dozens of new and useful ores and enmatters? Several new Time travel destinations that are fully flushed out and actually work? Time travel Crystals that can actually be made? How about some big grand news like"We are firing NDS and switching to a studio that can actually produce." Or even something smaller like that the super-mega-customized Land Area on the eastern islands will be rebranded and sold, or that it will become NI owned and de-branded. Even something like hundreds of new and useful or interesting articles of clothing, tools, weapons and other items that will start dropping as loot. How about... "We will have all these things done and we will actually do some advertising through mainstream channels to increase the population of NI" These would be news worth a wait. As it is... meh. Nothing I saw makes me excited or even hopeful. I've been on NI since the day it opened. You know what differences I've seen? Noobs spawn in the right place and don't get killed immediately now. Low level players can loot a BP that doesn't work right. Did I miss anything? I gotta ask... Did Next Island get set aside so NDS could work on RT 2.0? So this big news is out now. I honestly feel it would have been better to release this news on April 1st. At least that way you could come back and say it was just a joke. I'd really like a reply to all this from NI. A reply with real information in it. I think I and the other residents deserve that since we are the ones dumping money into this dream of yours. As David said... " I have a ton of money invested " I may not have the same amount invested, but it's a lot of money for me. Especially when I'm seeing no chance to make it back. Wanna buy a ton of worthless animal parts and crystals at 1000% mu?
