I would like to see further development of existing biomes. I really enjoy the plains, black forest and mountains. They are quite beautiful and pleasant. I like the aesthetic. I have little interest in the ugly eternal night of the mistlands.

It would be interesting if new resources and challenges in these early biomes were unlocked as you progress. The raid mechanic helps, but is limited in its entertainment value.

Tl;dr - new goals or activities would be nice, but maybe this is just whete people tend to tire of the game.

For the others in my original crew I think it was when we had crafted every item possible and built everything you could. We never even fought Yag, at first we were kinda waiting for more content, because we knew that would be the last fight. When most of us realized it wasn't coming anytime soon they stopped playing. I kept playing , not as much. But I started a new seed and did everything from scratch solo, just to see what it'd be like, and it was fun. Recently started a new new char and a new dedicated server with my daughter and a friend of hers. I try not to spoil anything , but it's hard not to.
