Increase the number of sandcastles spots

I really, really don't get this, 50 characters per instance allowed yet only 4 or 5 spots to build sandcastles on... What are you expecting that only less then 10% of players will be interested in building?
I wouldn't say if this was the first year the sandcastle building was introduced but repeating the same mistake the second year is just plain oversight.
Please increase the number at least to 10 or 15.

After the first week most sandcastle spots were empty most of the day in most instances. A few of the really crowded ones had two or three people building them.

I think the devs might think this is one of those things if they ignore it then it might go away.

I also think we need more castle building spots, especially on some of the other beaches.

indeed after about a week, things did calm down, but thats because players already have enough of those pearls from a previous event and so they left and the server quietened down, but thats not the case this time. its possible it may remain like this for a number of weeks before tapering off.

There are MANY more than just 4-5 spots. The stretch of beach right by the "sand scientist" is not the only one with the buckets. They are actually spread around the island, you just have to get to em in time.

Well, one must not lose hope until the end. Although the chances of this getting resolved are slim, I actually think things are getting better for players, lag finally getting acknowledged and slowly being resolved and event ships being available account-wide regardless if the character existed at the time of the event or not. So I hope it will get resolved.
