No plot update for May.
No plot update for June
And.........
No plot update for July! gonk
Seriously, it feels like sometimes the admins are toying with our minds, or at least it seemed to have happened this month when the admins announced an update for July 15. People were so excited expecting a plot update and were waiting patiently as the month passed. I was on vacation during this time, so if something would have actually happened I wouldn't have realized until later. But at first, the maps were cleaned from the debris and Barton Coast and Durem Reclamation Hub were blank. Could it be the update? eek No, it was a rollback of the maps before the April Fools Event and even Halloween, the Von Helson Mansion was back and it was supposed to be a Gambino Mansion. But some people thought it was a plot update but were dissapointed when the debris returned.
When the 15th arrived (I returned the 16th) many were very dissapointed to see that the ''Big, awesome, hard to wait update'' was a word filter! Oh yeah, what a great new feature, don't you think? xp Thanks to the word filter, those who can't handle swearing and flaming can censure it, I don't find it very useful because you still know what people are telling you. Believe me I tried it myself to see the difference, but come on, does this sounds like a big difference?
s**t (Uncensured)
S**t (Censured)
''Oh lookie, those ** are replacing the h and the i.'' eek
Seriously, is not much of a feature in my opinion and is not very effective either, at least not for me.
Many complaining topics were made, people angry because they wanted the plot update and not a word filter, some took the freedom of bashing the word filter also. xp
But, maybe next time everyone.
There was another feature later in July, the User Announcements, by paying with real life money users can post what they are lately up to in the forum index page (at the right section of the page, but you probably already knew that xp ), I don't plan to waste money on that, I rather make my own topic and hope for people to stop by, not more effective, but is free blaugh
Even though it was obvious that the plot would not continue people kept going over it and demanding it during the rest of the month, and today they are still doing it. Guess that the only thing that will make them stop is the plot itself. 3nodding
I almost forgot that we had another item update for the stores, check the stores for the new sets because I can't remember their names.
As for the July donation items, we got the choice between a solar headtress and a lunar cowl (many topics of people relating the cowl with Batman was so irritating stare ), I prefer the headress, looks good on me. biggrin
Keep in mind that the admins will never announce the update of the plot, at least they never did it before, not with Christmas story, not with Easter, and not with April Fools Day. It will be a surprise, for farther enjoyment. I am not going to keep guessing when the update will continue because I am tired of being wrong, but when it comes, you will know exactly what happened here. 3nodding
Until 30 more days then. xp
