I’ll be here while the team focuses but I can tell you that there won’t be any big news for at least 6 months if not longer. It takes time to put a team together and for them to learn all of the workings of a game. We’re experiencing this with Crowfall.

It takes time hopefully when their is some stuff in the pipe line that we can get wind of it. even if the announcement is something like this…
Working on big bad system upgrades
Fixing the old
Making Biitula go boom
Complete nonsense wording as to not get peoples hopes up for dates and times but enough information so we know progress is happening.

How many people do you have on staff right now, who can code in whatever language boundless is written in?
@monty1 best of luck to your studio, if you are willing to put in the necessary work to fix the mmo part of the game I am sure you can make this a profitable endeavour (sell cosmetics or make some cosmetic loot boxes for income and it should be worth your while lol).
I am looking forward to see what will become of this IP, fingers crossed you got a good deal and don’t listen too much to the crazy ideas of the forum people then you should be golden. o/
Some more transparency would have been nice to let people here know along the way whats going on with it, im glad you guys found a new partner but lets be honest you left people in the dark for years and likely hurt your overall retention of players and many who wont come back due to the lack of communication. You guys may not have had the funds to update the game but messaging here is free and theres not really much else to say on that subject.
As much as I agree communication was very (very very very) bad for a long time, I disagree that potentially selling the game should have been announced before the deal was done. I can’t even imagine what would happen if James said they were in talks about it and then it fell through, even those who remained optimistic would feel betrayed and also like hope is gone. I get wanting to know what’s going on, I was very critical of the lack of information we were receiving and had ditched my favorite game because of it, but some things you just can’t disclose until it’s complete.

A huge thank you to @james for responding to @monty1 and a bigger thank you to whomever messaged Monty! Looking forward to a continuation of the game, rejuvenation of the boundless spirit and many, many, more creative builds by the community.
I love this game… I am an addict to rolling planets, but not as much as @bucfanpaka 
Crafting is my jam and hunting is important to all that crafting entails… so I have to do that too. 
Welcome Monumental team, whoever you may be. I’m very happy for what is to come. I love the game as it is, to be frank, but I also understand there is more potential to come.
Long live Boundless and my loving friends and family here in the game. My life would be so boring without all this.

Biitula is one of, if not my favorite planet. It’s a slightly more crowded planet, but i found an island with more than 200plots of space that is isolated enough for me, maybe that’s not enough space for some players but more than enough for me… I’m actually slowly building up on Biitula at the moment on said island, slow going but progress.
Still it’s practically meme status to say blow up biitula
Oh ff14… How i wished i enjoyed your content, i loved your fishing and cooking, but when it came to story and battle mechanics all i felt was meh…
I’m a minority there though i guess. I still see NMS as a bigger comeback, and if boundless exploded to NMS levels (i doubt, but would love to see what it would look like if it did) I’d say it would be a far better success story as well.
I thought FF14’s story was by far the best I have ever seen. I tend to have extremely thick skin and am very resistant to feeling emotions from story lines and I have never had a story in any movie, TV show, book or game be able to break thru that before encountering FF14’s full Storyline from ARR to Endwalker.

To be fair i lost interest in the ARR section and never made it to the xpacs, i was close to the end of ARR, so i can’t say anything about the story in any of the later content. There wasn’t enough interest to keep me engaged to get to level 50 and finish that story arc. I ended up spending more time fishing and figuring out how to get to higher level areas i wasn’t high enough level for then following the story. Which broke it’s flow, i think i ended up eventually getting to like level 42 before i quit.
I like more of the earlier FF games though, i never enjoyed the gameplay of anything FF6 or later in the main franchise (no i didn’t play 7 so I can’t say anything about it either).
I can get emotional fairly easily depending on what’s going on, so it wasn’t that, i honestly think it was all the travel for 1 or 2 story beats, then off to travel for another 20-30min to find the next one, then having to que up for dungeons every 10 quests or so (yes i know they added something to address that dungeon part, but honestly i am so far detached now that i have no feeling of going back).

That might be why, for me, around the Shadowbringers’ story line and onward, is where I really started to feel the game’s story line being able to reach thru my thick skin, which again for me was something I never had happened to me before that point.
But even before Shadowbringers I found the story line to be quite nice, even thou it doses have a very a slow start in the ARR content. It isn’t for everyone.
