LOL
Every weeks i see a post who a guy say : don't do that, the game will die !
Oh guys ! Stop to cry before MA start to move. I'm tired to read that all the time.
In fact, this game is still alive, i started in 2015. Ok some players left the game since but other players took the free place.
I read all time the game will die after each major change, but as i see, majority of players are still here and i see new faces all time. I would not stay in a game if i have to play like i was in 2003 or 2010 XD
You want all a better game experience, better loots etc ... The game is not perfect, ok i can admit that but with post like that, i'm pretty sure, plenty potential players leaved or never started the EU experience and that deserve not only the game but all of us.
So stop EU bashing please.
Thanks
Would not really call it bashing.
The Cryengine was a good move at that time, Gamebryo was too old and limited.
A lot of people did not have the hardware then to run it halfway decent and alot of people will probably not half the hardware if another update like that comes. A lot (really really lot...there where around 1 Million registrations in 2008) left after the update.
What most are afraid of is that their hardware will not handle it and if I read that a laptop can not handle it even now properly....
kind of funny/sad....spent a few hundred bucks each month to play and can not afford some proper hardware because of spending a few hundred bucks each months for playing ?
Aslo swiching to another engine would be a really bad idead, it took them years to have eveyrthing back in what we had before the switch and they are using only a fraction of what the current engine could produce. There is simply no budget to make it look better, not enough users losing enough.
No "Second Life" hype to draw new users in masses.
A gazillion of MMOs which are free to play and do not costs an arm and a leg each month (unless you considers those big "microtransactions).
Entropia is a niche for some very special people, there are not that many on this world that are willing to pay the time and costs for it. It is not something that can attract tens of millions, maybe only 5 million and of those we have probably lost already 4 because of the changes in the past 16 years. It is something for the better monetary funded people, not really rich, but able to spend some 100 bucks each month.
One can surely play it for free, if one does not work and have a family and no ambition at all to get <enter next archievement> .
Besides that, the higher you get the more you have to either invest or do smart trades.
So, nope...see no bashing....just the fear of losing it all.
And personally...I ended up here because I really got sick of all those game servers closing down...had two-three subscription running on so many MMOs and then suddenly they were gone..after years of dedication.
nope...no drastic changes after the active playerbase reaches something like 50k monthly and not the roughly 5k we have now.
