Tell, you what. When you get all that in game and fixed, and kick in some fun, maybe I'll give it a retry. When you can take the tedium out of having to travel for 45 minutes to meet up with your group, maybe I'll give it a retry. Actually, when you take the tedium out, period, maybe I'll retry. As a beta 2 tester, I tried to get that message to you and the rest of the Dev's, and what I got back was, "Maybe this game isn't for you." And now you're trying to tell me, "whoops, uh, actually it is..."? Which is it?
You want to cover solo and grouping play? Take a look at EQ2 today and see how they do it. Make it so the goal of the game is to have fun, not work and be punished for failing.

Good luck with that one.
And while you're rethinking some decisions, you might want to rethink that not having official boards one. You're a big proponent of building a community, and yet the first thing you do is cut off access to those that play the game and want to give back feedback. Not to mention that it makes it frustrating to those who might be interest in buying the game and checking it out.
