Arco is a dude who's posting mostly flame and spam, recently banned, came back only to post more flame, and now he DEMANDS things. Ridiculous.
If there was no wipe for so long, then there must be a good reason for it. We've got plenty of ideas and what to put into the game, some work is already done, but obviously we have not enough time to complete all things as fast as we want to. Want it faster? Then think what you can actually do in order to help us. You can't? Then just wait patiently.
No, the project is not abandoned, if it was then I would not even come here since a long time.
Btw "Suggestions" board has 872 threads/suggestions that eventually ended in changelog or I answered why they aren't going to be implemented, or they are finished and waiting for wipe.
