Like any other trope in the world, the "kitin menace" lost its ... shall we say significance.
It's been years, maybe it's time for a new spin on the game story? There's a lot you can pick from - goo and its effects, marauders, new menaces, new bosses, karavan experiments on the homins, new forms of life gaining sapience / self-awareness, etc ad nauseam.
Seriously. I'm sick of kitins. Bet you five dappers other people are too. The slowness of the kitin-observation camps clearly shows that - very few people care, if at all. I've heard more than one person saying they'll stop playing if Kitin Patrols are ever re-implemented.
Let's "make a truce" with the kitins, or tame them, or eradicate them, take your pick. Doesn't have to happen tomorrow or next month. But at some point, you have to consider new tropes and new bad guys (plus good guys) for the story. I can't even find reason for nations, if next thing I know we can be threatened with yet another kitin invasion.
So .. what's the next trope?
