Stuff we know now:
1) The Kotl City event is not intended to be permanent.
2) The location will "eventually" be repurposed in a future publish. Anyone familiar with devspeak will know that "soon" means eventually, so god only knows what "eventually" means.
3) This repurposing doesn't actually coincide with the removal of the current content. Nope, they're just going to hang a big Out Of Order sign on one of the whopping three or four points of interest that even exist in Eodon, because...
Because why, exactly? I had someone ask me this when I told them the Kotl thing was going away and I genuinely didn't even have a meaningful guess to offer them. Because it'll be farmed to death until it's mostly irrelevant? I mean yeah, it totally will be, but how is deleting it a better choice than letting that happen? Literally anything is better than a big empty hole where there used to be something to do.
I mean I don't even particularly like this event, but the idea that a tiny resource-limited dev team with an entire continent largely barren of content would squander their time coming up with crap just to delete it a few months later is infuriating.
The really sad part is that this latest newsletter was otherwise nothing but an exercise in tapdancing really hard trying to make "vet rewards and holiday crap" sound interesting. They literally put out a newsletter to tell us they were removing more from the game than they were adding.
