I haven't been to NU's NE corner for some while.
However, I expect that the wolves and such are still lurking there.
I have to agree that the future of game play for Survival lacks clarity.
In particular, the statements about focusing on the FPS side of game play make very little sense unless the other parts of the game play are fixed.
It also gives me the impression that the AWA functionality that enticed me into staying so long may no longer be on the cards.
