Just an update: 37 teams needed in public leagues, 77 in private leagues and 5 worlds eligible to roll in next three days.

Yeah, I was sort of thinking the same thing.  The suggestion that people are delaying because they too wrapped up in their fantasy football drafts might have merit.  We'll see what the next few days brings.

I think there are some worlds that just aren't worth joining.

3 worlds account for about 25% of the openings.    Not to pick on anyone but one rolled on 9/3.   One team was last checked on 7/12.   Why would anyone join that world?   Find a goddam replacement owner to at least maintain the team.

I missed one.   4 worlds account for 1/3 of the openings.   Fix those worlds and this isn't even something to worry about.

Just noticed that a $10 loyalty credit was added to my account...probably hoping we will purchase more seasons.

I guess this mornings update, and credit is an indication of what many of us already knew, customer support and game attention was severly lacking over the last couple of years.  However, on the good side it appears like they've made a commitment to getting back to improving WIS w/ more personel and time on the games here.

We'll see how it goes. Color me skeptical, for now. A decent, loyal company (that does more than pretend to be up-front with it's customers) would have done a better job keeping loyal customers in the loop, not waiting until all the backlash hit the forums and it was obvious customers were bailing ship (and fast). 

Loyalty is a two way street. For some, $10 is all they want. They're happy. For others, they just want to know wtf is going on. A little communication goes a very, very long way.

IOW, they already missed (screwed up, neglected, etc) the first step.

D'oh!

96 openings, 51 accounted for by worlds with 7 or more. 

It's official.   HBD is not imploding.

My original concern was with opening new worlds WHILE there are so many openings.

As long as WIS is seriously delaying this until there are fewer openings... so be it.

I AM surprised to hear, however, that they have lifted the "you need half the league to consist of new owners" rule. Not saying thats a good or bad idea.. just surprised they removed that requirement.

It's probably a good and bad idea all in one.

Good because it stops the creation of aliases.  Bad because we know owners will drop worlds to join new ones.  And then drop the "new" one when it's "old".
