After Crimsonwood Keep part II, I'm not sure what I can really expect from a Masteria expansion. I can forgive the fact that Nexon didn't write in an explanation about why the barrier that prevented you from entering the Keep before is now gone and the fact that they made the Party Quest more available, but what I can't forgive is how easily they were going to move us to the next storyline arc in Krakia without giving us a few answers and closure to Crimsonwood Keep and the forest. Luke's memories were an interesting plot point because they could have been able to give us some answers and some hints and in addition, it would have given us some things to speculate about the island's disappearance and about when the whole island was put in suspended animation. It's a shame that these ideas were never really implemented. Giving us things to speculate on isn't necessary when they can easily feed it to us on a future expansion, but there just wasn't closure to some of the story of the quest lines. I also wanted to know more about the tombstones. In addition, what was a pair of two ninjas doing there after you defeated Red Nirg? The missing questline that Prose mentioned might have be able to accomplish some of these things and there would be some things it might not have done. However, that something is better than nothing at all. If Nexon couldn't even bother to finish something properly that had been basically handed to them, I'm really hesitant to imagine what Nexon is going to do with something without a good game plan, even if they do have a good amount of material that they can work with.
