Ok, folks, take a breather.

I hoped for (and rather expected) some new in-game stuff. The promo stuff clearly implied a new location. It turns out that there's a new game, with a theme I'm not interested in: oh well.

I don't make in-app purchases. I would never waste my money on a free game. I think my expectations were the same as most in that thinking a new island was coming today. So anything other than that, to me, is a huge let down. Not sure why you felt like you needed to comment. I don't see why you refer to it as "wasting money". The game can be played for free, yes; some people want to speed things along, and that's up to them. I haven't spent any money myself on the game, because I'm in no rush. I feel a bit guilty about having gotten a lot out of the game without having kicked anything back to its creators, and that's part of why I've contributed a lot here. 477926 wrote: Because so many people, like you, have unreasonable expectations of this game. Where would you put a new island on the game map? How would you integrate it with the other islands? You think like a fan, but try just once thinking like a game developer. It's only a "huge letdown" because you expected the sun and stars for nothing. You're grotesquely overstating other people's reactions.

As for "where would you put it?", until a month ago there were eight islands, then Tribal made it nine, completing a 3x3 grid. Adding another island? You use a different grid.
