Recently BB have announced the new content that they are working on : combat rebalancing, pvp and an island expansion.
As a gamer who has been around a lot I have seen more games than I care to remember, simply die off because the developers were all moved on to work on the next great project that was in the pipeline. So whilst I will reserve judgment on the above items, I would like to comment that it is great to see these development efforts being made. They may be implemented poorly, or well, we will have to wait and see. For now though, it is just great to see that they are being made at all, because what it means is that this game has a future and for me thats the most important thing to take from these announcements.
