I don't know anything more than you guys and of course I would like to be wrong. But actually it could be that the update simply needs a lot of effort and is therefore taking longer Again, not saying that it isn't going to be awesome, but the water might not be in the condition you want it to be yet.
Naturally. I'm expecting the update to be on the lower end to gradually be polished into the higher-end stuff. Everything simply needs to be put into place, yet in mine (and possibly others) getting all to excited seeking the late-production content :P.
I'm being both patient & impatient. I'm wanting to colonize these islands. This wait is becoming harder the more it dips into May. I want to get back into Rising World.
