I'm curious. The game became playable about a year ago and a lot of you bought it and started playing then. Personally I didn't as I wasn't willing to spend money on the basis of a nice feature list and some screen shots, but shortly before launch I did take the plunge.

My question is to those early players, how much has actually changed / improved in the last year? I'm not talking about crafting lists getting longer, but significant alterations in mechanics and gameplay.

These next two months are going to be make or break for this game I think, with a lot of people on the "well I bought it, so may was well play until they want more money from me" wall.

Have there been a lot of developments in the last year, or just tweaks? Is it realistic to hope that game play will be improved before it's 'time up' for the early subscribers?
