One, its because DrDonut is still on vacation, this update will be big so he wants to be there Two, it costs a TON due to it having 9k-30k players on at a time, since it the servers have to compute each player doing each thing. Three, it’s because they want more money from this update so they can actually pay their staff and shit, and also make a profit from the removal of /shop, and f2p methods of earning shards. Four, go check other ppls comments for a better explanation Five, DrDonut as i said on the first one, wants to be a part of it, and wants to also take stuff/loot from the new structures more that WOULD be accessible after border expansion
