The Golden Abyss now provides less population than a residence, until you hit around Chapter 5. The video even shows him explaining that the GA goes from 200 population down to 75 (with a massive upgrade to 77 pop when the MH is upgraded), and this is passed off as a good thing!
Swing and a miss there, Timon. I hear Hello Kitty Island Adventure are looking for game designers... maybe that's more suited to your abilities?
Let's hope they're looking into this one and will correct the oversight BEFORE it hits live. I also hope that the disincentive to build the Golden Abyss in the first place for lower-level players is taken into account, and the negative effect isn't just dismissed as "only affecting a minority".
Personally I will benefit from this change to the Golden Abyss, but I sure feel sorry for those newer players who are getting stiffed.
