Test Down Once MOre?

[Captain Del]

How come ever since somebody found those pictures of those islands in the phase files, everybody is expecting new islands to be coming today, or tomorrow?

Sure, it seems realistic that the new islands are on their way, because of the NPCs, the news, the GM events, the phase files.. but what affected the same things, in the same way? SvS, Invasions, Inventory system - all of which were 1. Updates that we were given hints to numerous weeks before they came on Test, and 2. Major changes to the game, that would aquire A LOT of testing.

Now, I'm not trying to be that one storm cloud on a perfect summer day, but lets try to be a little realistic. Now, take a deep breath, and let the islands come when they wish to.

P.S. Sorry if this sounded like an attack on you Dog, because it certainly isn't. Theres a cookie waiting for you on your desk when you come online.

Because as soon as people know something is there, they expect it since "it's obviously there and ready to be out".

The islands are just islands... no cave entrances, no jungle areas... nothing. Expecting something that's just for show to come out isn't going to get you anything except disappointment any time test goes down.

It's possible new islands are coming today, in fact, it's extremely possible these new islands are coming in the next month or so, simply because NPCs don't say random things like, "Notice new shrouded islands yet?" and then keep on saying them forever. Things that hint new things are only up for a short time, so that only a lucky few that are paying attention know it.
