While I think a new skill like carpentry and having your own house will be really nice additions to the game, I'm in no great hurry for it. I've been playing for over a year and I still have only touched the surface of the game, in my mind anyway. There's always so much to do and so many nice updates that I manage to keep myself pretty busy, even if I decide to play for hours, lol. I think we get good quality for 5 bucks a month. Just be patient and it will all work out. For now, go chop a tree, play gnomeball, or make a new friend. It's only a game right?
