Also remember that although you can play this game for free or very close to it, that the devs can't code unless they get a profit. So the more profit that they get, the more resources that they will have to put back into the game. So the more you want things changed and coded, the more you should think about spending money to help pay the devs.

And of course the inverse is also true. Once BL is released, I can envision a lot of vets spending a lot of prestige to rapidly rebuild their exodused cities with the resources that they ship themselves from the hubs. So changes like BL have great potential to produce new profits too.

The main thing that could kill this game, and has killed others like it, is if the players stop spending money, or the devs stop developing new things that encourage the spending of money (like BL), so the game devs stop getting profits and start looking elsewhere for their return on investment.

It's a free game. Play it as it is now.

If you want to get prepared for an update, be prepared to be ready for a loooong time. Have a look at the Roads alliance. They are ready. They've been ready for years. I suspect they will be ready for a long time to come.

Every day I scroll down and click on the BL map in the hope that it becomes active for settlement and exodus...
There are no faction hubs, herbs, minerals, anatomies, wildlife...
Announcing something and then not giving a timescale is somewhat lame but, as I have discovered since starting, par for the course.  I would have preferred the announcement to be made on go live day and not before as I could be waiting for days, months and years.  When I first joined I queried in GC why the "herald" was so out of date and was told "you'll get sued to it".  Some things just never change.  Such a potentially brilliant game - shame.
