Coral Reef speculation/opinions

After reading the translation of the link that @-Mir85- added in the thread 'Welcome to the Grapevine' http://xn--farmflsterer-ilb.de/?p=39588 it appears that Coral Reef is taking longer than planned due to the Mill re-design as it is an integral part of the game and I think links with the Reef also. Now with all the hoo-haa about what's gone on with the Cloud Row, the Mill and it's changes, which at the moment seem rather unpopular with a large amount of players I would assume the release of the Reef will take even longer now because if BP really are taking our feedback on board then surely they are going to have to concentrate on sorting the Mill out first before releasing the Reef. Now this is my interpretation of what I read in the translated link so if I've not understood it correctly due to bad translation or bad understanding on my part then please do let me know, I am just merely starting a discussion on the topic, nothing more! I personally would rather have everything just right before it's released rather than they release it earlier to 'shut people up' and it be full of bugs and give us something else to be negative about! Saying this, I have still got a long way to go before I'm anywhere near the level I expect to be to open up the Reef so I guess my patience is resigned to that whereas some of you who are already at that level and have been waiting a long time, I understand your impatience especially as Mr.V unfortunately made the mistake of saying there would be a definite release date in one of the previous newsletters and time just keeps moving on! Also as I read about the Coral Reef in the aforementioned link, it was there I discovered that for those of you playing this at the time, that you all got the chance to vote for your favourite idea for the new part of the game..I thought that was wonderful and I really wish I'd been around to cast my vote! I don't know how much information about each idea you were given or if it was just a title of the concept but I really like the idea of a jungle and apparently, again according to the link, the Reef only just pipped the Jungle in the votes! If any of you have anymore information on the other ideas that you got to vote on I'd love to hear about them. I know it doesn't really matter but I'm just interested in concepts that BP come up with!

(PS- that's the first time I've ever included a link in my posts so I'm rather pleased with myself lol! )

 

Thanks for the link, fifitrixiebell! Very interesting read.
