I can kind of sympathize with OP. I bought the game on release, and it was great. We had a server and played hard. Got all through the endgame... But it's kind of fallen into stagnation. While the Hearth and Home/Caves updates were nice, they didn't really add that much content.

The devs made a ton of money from the early access and apparently haven't expanded their team. If they had, things would be progressing faster than things currently are (I was gunna say "a snail's pace" but snails move faster). I definitely can understand the "they took the money and ran" perspective.

They've expanded their team which negatively effects development productivity for the first while, but they've been transparent throughout.
