There is no reprieve from this game. I want to play it! Even one fun pathway would do it, and it would get us to the next big change. You can't keep the game in this state for months. That is INSANE guys. Have you ever ordered something that didn't work as designed and sent it back to be fixed and the company that built it said "no worries, we will get you a new one in the mail....in 6-9 months. It'll put a big smile on your face." This is an unprecedented betrayal of patrons, and you are both able and obligated to throw us a bone. I don't think anybody that has put up with this for this long is unreasonable at their core, I think we just need some kind of tangible indication that you give a -blam!-. Tangible - e.g. in game/ a little pathway that will allow us to park our time and energy that will give us a little bit of patience. You can't let this continue to build. Here's the thing - even if everyone does come flocking back to your game after this mess is sorted out, you still will have been guilty of dishonorable exchange/interaction with your community. I know I know, corporations have no soul and it's "nobody's fault."
