Hamlet Defense?

I wonder why the Development Team is re-inventing the wheel?

Because if re-invention was never tried we would still be driving around on wooden cartwheels instead of rubber tires.

True. I do understand the general concept of re-invention, and innovation. But my question was more addressing the specifics of Hamlet Defense. It was not asked as a rhetorical device. It was an honest question.

Why does the Development Team feel the need to create "new" settlements in new locations with new NPCs for us to defend and fight for, when these hamlets already exist? Did the "New Team" find a better purpose for the existing hamlets?

That's pretty much what I'm wondering. If any light could be shed on this, I'm sure many of us would be greatly appreciative.

Sorry, but that phrase is thrown around here a lot as if it's some kinda stoplight for new ideas. But as far as it goes, I don't think they'll leave the existing areas to go to waste, I would imagine there will be intents and purposes in the direction they're going.

Just like to say I totally agree with the playerbase being given a roadmap for the changes planned.
