Thank you.

Whats your plans to make items in game worthwhile to craft, acquire, or have?
AI of animals, is this being worked on?
Harder animals like mutants and zombies, or vampires or something is there something we going to see anytime soon?
Carts, or sleds? How soon before these items are in game?
Stats? Right now it would take years to change your stats, is there going to be a change to this or should I just forget it and reroll now?
Soft cap on skill pools and decay. How is this going to work? Whats your plans on how much limiting this will be?
Skill pools, what do you see for being about what is allowed for people to have per pool?

Are you going to give tall characters a buff? Shorter chars have half the size as max size chars and the advantage in smaller hit box is very noticeable.

The alignment system was a very fundamental part of the game. Do you have any ETA for that ?

1) As far as I understood, Prelude ended safe zones, with the possible addition that war happeh tribes could remove them sooner. This hasn't been altered or anything, has it?
1a) Well you did have an idea that meant permanent safe zones, but is this still the plan to go forward with that specific idea to restrict rather than to give options to protect yourself?
2) Will we be able to build diagonal instead of just horizontal/vertical so that we may utilize more of our area?
3) Will we be able to get more options concerning permissions, perhaps to keep out common tribe members from the tribe councils ruling area (rank permissions). Or say I have a house, but I only want GuideMihr and myself to be able to enter it and no one else (name permissions)?
4) You mentioned a The Sims sort of building 'mode'. Would that include the same effect with walls (but also kitchen tables/bathroom tables) melting together? Right now we have walls with cracks in the corners.

Do you guys know how to fix the zone out bug where after passing through 2 zones, all terraforming, trees, totems and buildings disappear? When I relog it all reappears.

To me it seems the game is only loading the zone the character is currently in, and the 8 adjacent zones (local chat). To load the other zones requires a relog.

This happens to me 100% of the time.

I. Regarding the "keys" part of our inventory:
1) Will these keys allow us to lock / unlock our gates?
2) Will I be able to make a spare key to allow a friend access to my homestead if visiting on holiday?
3) Will these keys be lootable?
4) If none of the above, what was the intent of those keys?

II. It seems like your interest in Archaeology and Architecture comes through in the content of the game. In order to perhaps extrapolate future updates, and more importantly to make suggestions in keeping with the original design, did you have a main area of interest in Archaeology? The faint circular design in the background of the website's main page makes me think Aztec/Mayan, but thought I'd ask... paleolithic, epi-paleolithic(my favorite), neolithic? New world, old world? Just curious.
