"If you think the Altair is cool, just wait until we release the Altair II" And everyone did. Which is why there is no Altair II.
I'm finding that the new housing system is like that for me for Glitch. I was logging in every day, doing my thing, and then one day over the holidays I missed a day. And then two. And I haven't signed back in. I know all my pigs are dead, and probably my butterflies too, and logging back in to raise a new farm is something I'll get around to.
But I'm really waiting for the new housing system. Since October, seems like.
