Sounds like you're in the same boat (longship?) as me. I kept playing for a while, hoping that the Mistlands were right around the corner, but my friends stopped playing one-by-one, getting bored with the wait, until finally I was alone. Eventually, I gave up and moved on as well.

I recently came back and they've made a few updates and fixed a lot of bugs and miscellaneous gameplay problems. Got one of my old buddies to try out a new seed with me, and we're having fun, but the rest of them say that they won't come back until there's been some real content added, like Mistlands.

I've been having fun still with just the one friend, mind you. It's been quite an adventure already and we're not even to Bonemass, yet. That being said, I can't really blame the other friends who want to wait for the release of Mistlands, and it's really annoying that we don't even have a general timeframe for that. The teaser pictures and blog posts about that one dev "working on the textures" right before they cleared out the Mistlands biome in game kept me hoping it was right around the corner, but the latest news from them on it makes it seem as if they've just now started working on it instead of six months ago when they claimed they were.

All in all, I'd say it's always worth coming back to, but just temper your expectations.
