you rock, sir!
Thanks 
Over 270 linked now - I'm going to put a reminder on the news tonight as well so more folk can get to try it out with the next release. Cowboy's also been helping out with the app now which should hopefully speed up the development a bit - we're hoping to have the next update (mainly bug fixes and tweaks) ready next week.

Adding a new server? Isnt the app release supposed to boost the playerbase? The first server would die out and people who put so much cash there would be annoyed.
unlike other games that separate the player base by servers, FS servers just afford us a smoother game experience, and we are not separated, and never have been. So when Hoof says he's adding more, it's just for operational use. The playerbase remains the same and together across servers. Even once the app is released the community will remain whole. The app and what you see in your browser are not different games, just different ways to access your one and only FS self.

I'm sure you mean IF here, Penny ? 
Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.
Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?
I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

No, she is correct. WHEN.

When is the keyword then - WHEN ? - no news about it whatsoever from Hoof, that I've seen, in ages

We've answered this repeatedly. When we have something to report, we will. Everything is background code at the moment.When is the keyword then - WHEN ? - no news about it whatsoever from Hoof, that I've seen, in ages

The players are just anxious, we figure if we prod you enough ya'll might work faster 
. Cow's aren't a protected class Hoof ought to force 120 hour work weeks . I have a gut feeling hoof might report something closer to the new year but that's just me.

@Hoofmaster i really like the idea of a separate world I think I grasp what your saying. Not a new game not a different game. Same game 2 servers characters stay on one server and don't affect the other and as a returning player I get why you would do that because honestly it is pretty intimidating to walk into a new game that has characters in the 3000's when I left the game none had broke a thousand. I could only imagine installing a new mobile game to see people have already been in since 2009 and knowing that there is no chance I will be on that leaderboard for atleast years best case scenario. 1 game 2 servers old experienced server or fresh new uncharted server plus it gives old players a chance for a new race of who can cap the lvl on the new server.
Really? Sorry but 1 of those servers would die out, you need the whole community. I really have no intrest in starting over, or at least not like this. And in a year or so, you have the same situation on your new server. Then what? Start over on another again?
Something clever would need to be thought off to cap the levels so that the gap does not look that bad, suggestions have been made in the past, but the choice was made to continue making levels instead.

When you say, Cap off the levels? Are you proposing perhaps an Ending to the game?Really? Sorry but 1 of those servers would die out,

The app as I understand it will work seamlessly with your existing character (remember, you can only be 1). Where you leave off in the browser is where you find yourself in the app and vice versa. V1.0 was this way and although it was rudimentary, with many features unavailable yet, I was able to equip and buff myself via the browser, move into position, and pick it up and do my actual hunting on the app. I primarily used it for walking and kill "x" critters dq's but I did a couple of globals as well.... I do believe Hoof had stated early on that there weren't really any plans to have separate servers or a second character to play..... I may be mistaken, but I don't think that's what he wants for FS.... He just wants a more versatile platform for the different ways we access the game..... So guys, same game, more access points....
