I dont think anyone doubts that NI needs some work. Human curiosity makes us ask questions like "why?" in hopes of an explanation. But the truth is sometimes there is no explanation. It simply is what it is. MMORPG's typically go through a rather lengthy beta testing and feedback loop. Perhaps the need to beta test was underestimated, and now both the platform owners and planet partners are a bit wiser. I dont look at it negatively. It is what it is. I look forward to improvements and remain confident they will come. Next Island is not off my radar.
Ok so i have changed my views, I will give credit where credit is due: Thumbs up to the Next Island crew, june update is a great start in the right direction.
