If you're a poor a drinker like me that means putting the bottle back in the cupboard because it gives you too much of a headache. ;)

As for the "when will new stuff be added", I believe the 'spring clean' is still ongoing. Technically I think its more of a redesign/rebuild than a clean. So you will have to wait for that before anything else comes. As I've said before, it seems to me that the entire underlying structure of the game as it is today is so flawed that basic Rites cannot be developed, hence the 'spring clean'. The bad news here is that any rebuild is going to involve so much new software that, without amazing testing, its going to be like a beta again.

People laughed when, in February, I said that the updates will get very slow because the underlying code wasn't designed right to handle new stuff. People said that the problems were just bugs and that 'every system has bugs'. To keep the metaphore, its not that there are bugs, its that the dog they live on is lame and smells funny.

But, given more time and money, this game is certainly a winner. Even if you are getting bored, please keep paying and checking in from time to time.

Mostly meaning they not working on outposts at all, what are in the normal queue progress of patches.
Meaning also all new futures is coming after chapter 2 is done and working and chapter 3 outpost is live and working.
“They told us in June last year 2 months before release outpost was going live at release.”
The outpost Patch will be a long time on the ATS then it comes there, as they don't have any proper test procedures for the volunteers how try to help them on the ats.
So many have asked for a organised way of testing things properly but clearly someone in charge is not listening or reading the ats.
Meaning, no one brooders to help in the chaos on the ats.
I will be very surprised if there is more then 10 active ATS tester’s atm.

Winner? Yes no doubt and many will agree this game as amazing powers to be great.
Time? not much left im afraid.
A lot of us has been paying for a long time now to see outpost and other things to go live but they just keeps stalling us, blowing smallish features up to stall us more.
Many is keeping their accounts live in the hope of better times. And I give them big credits for it, don’t think many would do what with wow or Eq2.

We just have to hope the devs manage to clear the bugged code to be able to make all the rites and other features work.

But remember much is happening behind the scene we don’t see , it may seem gloomy now but as all things, it may suddenly change.
