So is no one still excited for Island Sanctuary...

"I don't see an issue, therefore one does not exist."

Hrothgar ears: not a disaster.

Game issues at launch: unavoidable and no one with an ounce of sense thinks otherwise. Dealt with quickly as possible. Not a disaster.

World / DC travel system: overwhelmed by far more requests than was expected or could be handled, issues fixed, attended to and managed, with maintenance this week to reopen systems so they can cope. Accounts in that situation attended to and fixed. Not a disaster.

Issues yes, attended to, yes, managed yes.

Given all thats happened over the last two years, given the massive problems the SE team has met and handled as best they could, given the current state of the game and that a lot of problems have been overcome, I dont see a problem here.

I personally am grateful to them for their dedication in creating this masterpiece...especially when they succeeded in keeping it together in the face of a global catastrophe. A comment made to me a few days ago in discord still resonates: we have been through the type of dislocation that comes with a world war ( I know many may disagree, but the description is an apt one)..thanks to the dev teams we have had a community and a game kept alive for us to gather together, band together, support each other in what Dickens had rightly called "the worst of times".

No game is perfect..never said it was.

To my eyes at least, from all i have seen, the SE team has busted their caboose over and over again to try and keep things on an even keel, succeeding far more than could be expected of them..in all truth, given my experience with other games companies, quite frankly, they are incredible and dedicated...an example for more than one company to emulate.

God knows some of them could stand a lesson or three in excellence.. ( and yes Blizzard, I am looking at YOU. ) After the chaos, death and utter worldwide misery that was 2020 - 2022, they have risen above and beyond countless times.

We should be THANKING THEM, not throwing brickbats for mundane matters that can and will be addressed. Issues crop up, they always will.

I have immense faith in Yoshi and his team....to use a parallel,in the last two years, we faced our own real Calamity..and thanks to them...here we are.

Here we remain.

So, IMO, no, I dont see any "disasters" anywhere.
