I thought They hired Neverdies Company to do the work on Arkadia? So they also now deserted Arkadia too? LOL WOW. Neverdie and co are obviously very bad
The Arkadia Team is still active on the Forums and their Discord...
They might not be acting like Cyrene, Next Island, or Toulan of which is hardcore in the spotlight the past 2 years... But Arkadia was in the Spotlight for a LONG time while Cyrene, Next Island, and Toulan have never had a spotlight to shine.
Arkadia Team (Not NEVERDIE TEAM) reintroduced a major event just 3-4 months ago.. As miniscule as it may be in comparison to their work ethics ever since the non-spotlight planets started getting the spotlight... Arkadia isn't dead, slowed down "maybe"
If you wanted to look at it that way then you could say Calypso is dead because the only active development it has is a seasonal cycled migrations of which is basically increased spawns and player managed events.
I actually wrote about 3 other paragraphs explaining why I think people were telling you what you heard, what NeverDIE has said recently in regard to Rocktropia and his team (Of which btw, doesn't exist for the past 4-5 years), but I tend to put myself in a pickle when I expand on what it is I want to say, so I will just leave it here...
