The community was quieter over the weekend than it had been around the announcements. The Night Watchman had been there since the early days; he saw newcomers discussing cards without necessarily knowing why older players were still willing to wait.

He found a screenshot from when he joined in 2021 and remarked that one year felt like ten. He considered posting the image for newcomers, then worried it would amount to little more than nostalgia.

The old screenshot became a starting point for his questions, not proof of any special standing. The Night Watchman planned to try the early access flow himself after it opened and answer newcomers from experience. Until then, he had to admit he still had questions of his own.
