Speaking of facebook, is there any chance of the Google+ page receiving the same attention, for us who refuse FB?
Having an island of the week is great but could you look at maybe having a beginners island as well as the long established islands. Obviously since global release was after the game was released in a few places those that have just started have to try to play catch up so have little to no chance of getting up to island of the week (I know its only a bit of fun but all the same would be nice)
Remember now you have the PlunderCam you can do your own Island of the Week. You'll see a couple of changes to it next week in the update that will make taking screen shots even better!
Chris, I think you are the most involved game developer in community forums that I have seen in a long time. It's good that Midoki actually listens to the people playing the game. Do you imagine that you will be as active if/when this forum becomes incredibly busy?
