There are some changes that make things interesting, and some changes that just seem to be changes. My take is that the developer team does not have the same unity of vision that they did when the game was first released. The first hint of that was the delay for H&H. After that, a delay in the release of Mystlands, eventually leading to an announcement that the team was generally unhappy with the first incarnation of the Mystlands, and would go a different direction. So I guess I am a little concerned about the direction the game is going, and the overall "vision" for the game. All I know is that, before any of this screwing around, I could walk along the shore, find, and cook tasty fish.

All progress is change, but not all change is progress. IMO, that's where we are.
