Well, since you're asking for opinions:
1. I'm glad I stuck it out and survived Patch 1; the game turned out to be really, really fun.

2. The recent changes however, turned me off and I have since quit (back in December 2005).
Overall progress during that time was extremely slow (seemed to me anyway),
but bugs were worked out and needed balancing occurred, and the basic game was enjoyable. I would like to have seen some of the promised content, like getting married and having children, and who knows, if things like that get in, I may return.
