Why not have an elemental gauntlet that can switch between ice, fire, air, and earth?
Could make it so it uses gems and when you put them in a gauntlet it makes them melee spells/skills. Like ice melee, fire melee, maybe poison, electric, shadow etc.
This just comes off as the human starter area in what should be a much bigger and more complex MMORPG.
It looks good though.

Try a MUD today at http://www.mudconnect.com/Lol, none of these articles are "proof". The imagery the authors of those articles are complaining about is still in the game. Nor do a few gaming articles constitute a "concerted effort by an ethnic group to change this game".
And there are always people in each demographic that think their problems are due to the actions of someone else. Rarely do they look inward at their own culture to find their problems stem from within. I think white people, specifically white males, are a bit tired of being told they are to blame for something they didn't do by a person that never actually suffered the crimes they are accusing people of doing.
All of the changes to this game are about refocusing from an open world PvP, survival semi-MMO to a PvE focused one with optional (flag) PvP. They initially, as in the past 18 months, tried to do it with minimal changes but somewhere along the line realized they had to flesh out the PvE much more and that's what they're currently doing.
All this "woke" and "cancel culture" horseshit is just that: horseshit. This game was never about colonists vs. natives except in the minds of some idiots that either misunderstood or wanted it to be about that.

Or at least someone who can say what it used to be before the overhaul (note that "what it used to be before the overhaul" and "is still in the game" are two completely mutually exclusive definitions), and what it is right now, so that it may be compared for purposes of seeing if it has any potential relation to the complaints in those articles?
I assume you are referring to the "Corrupted" and "Withered" that the original polygon article you linked complained about.
...aren't those still in the game? What changed about them? I mean, as of this March 2, 2021 tweet only a month ago, they're still there. And apparently a major enough part of the game for the official twitter to tweet about.
You are either part of the latest colonization and investigation wave, as are all players and NPCs, or you are one of the "corrupted" who are members of previous failed expeditions that the island has messed up.
If there ever were any indigenous people on this island they are long gone and perhaps also part of the corrupted, although if you know anything about the Caribbean, you'd know that there are still uninhabited islands there even today,
The game takes place in an alternate history in the later colonization period. The earlier period 150 years prior in real history was characterized by the systematic and very efficient genocide of what indigenous populations existed there.
In fact they were so thorough in their genocide that they became big time African slave importers which is why people for the Caribbean have almost 0 native / European mixed features like you see in Central and South America that used the natives as their cheap labor with little need to import African slaves. I guess there were just too many of them in the continent to totally wipe out.
In short, a total lack of an indigenous native population in an isolated island in the late 1600s, even if this were not an alternate reality with magic and shit, would not be inconsistent with the realities of the Caribbean at that time.
New World used an island empty of all but corrupted and the latest wave of colonists as their setting from day one.
But by all means, you and Rhoklaw keep on reinventing the narrative... it's funny as hell.

I am just trying to explain the situation as best I know of it. I am not sure why I need to explain this to some people, given if anyone paid half an ounce of attention to my post, they would see clearly that I am not some author, so I have no idea why anyone would presume that I have written or been directly involved in any of the articles written on this. I am also not a backer, I have not signed up for their beta, I am not on their discord or reddit.
This is just stuff I have heard about the lore of the game being changed because it caused some controversy, and trying to share that info.
If that is gets peoples knickers in a twist as opposed to thanking me for trying my best here, to explain what little I know, they are in fact part of the problem.
Well jolly good luck with getting that from anyone, least of all Amazon.
Of course, your only defense is "no u". So whatever, I guess.
