Two things that could well turn the market around.

1) HALF PRICE FOOD
until the nocs are released and are hopping around live in our sims.

2) A TRADE IN PROGRAM BASED ON REGARD AND OR SIMPLY TRADED IN NESTS
instead of making this a get rich for your selling the new starters for the nocs you should make a trade in program - X number of chapter one nests gets you 1 nocturnal starter. Why you ask? Two things, most importantly it gives VALUE to the nests we all have clogging up our inventory now. *Even* if it was 50 to 1 trade it would be more than most of our old nests are worth now. It would clean up the markets of all those old junk bundles that you cant get rid of even for 25L a pop. So it would cheer us up, tidy our inventories and get us started with chapter 2.

It's a win for everyone, unless you really ARE just all about the profit. Frankly, you can't afford that right now. Meeroos either need a resurgence or they are going to go the way of the turtles and chickens. Guys, it's time to swallow your pride and do a bit of giving back to your community.

Tiger, Catherine, Moxie, Yukio, et al - a couple days of "interested feedback gathering" does NOT constitute communication. While I can applaud Yukio trying to gather up our comments and suggestions - that isn't even really a bandaid on the issue. You need to get your hides out where they can be seen, you need to stand tall and make this right with a proper update, and by throwing a bone to your faithful community before it really is too late.

Fine, so, say chapter two cant possibly go live before summer, then say it and then say but to show our *your sentiment here* about the delays and the communications problems to make it right you will do the two above things. People WILL forgive you, the sky wont fall, people might go back to finding the joys of discovery if food is cheaper and if they know that even if their experiments give them nothing but reds and fawns that those nests will still have some sort of tradable value.
