Let’s be honest. 2025 was not just bad, it was an outright embarrassment for the game and everyone involved in running it. A full year of mismanagement, incompetence, and sheer indifference. The piss poor performance of almost every PP was painful to watch, yet somehow MindArk still managed to outdo them in looking clueless. Empty promises, half finished content, tone deaf decisions, and a complete lack of direction dragged the game to its lowest point in at least ten years.

Player trust is in the gutter. Activity is stagnant or outright dying. The economy feels hollow, progression is unrewarding, and any sense of long term vision appears either lost or abandoned. It feels less like a living universe and more like a neglected cash grab being kept on life support by habit and sunk cost.

So here’s to 2026. Not with hope, not with excitement, but with cold realism. Because at this point it would take actual effort to make things worse than they already are.
 
I think previous year was much worse than this one. This year they tried to revive it with the fake MA partner ARIS, new player experience, and many small good adjustments here and there while also fixing a lot of broken stuff. So i'd say it wasnt too bad but they need to continue to improve.

Economy is bad, but because of what happened mostly in 2023-2024. I dont see it reviving next year, but we will see what MA comes up with.
I wish them luck, they will need it.

MindArk started to turn around this year when they launched the Umbranoid event. Also, ARIS is a superb addition to the game.

The Umbranoid event shows that MA are capable of doing excellent content, just like TWEN, and just like ARIS.
It is also obvious that they have taken in feedback and listened to the player-base.

2026 is going to be a really good year for this game - My guess.
 
Broken promises kill the game...

Honor your promises MA. You promised:

- A voting system
- Land Plot buildings/factories
- Courrier transport missions for privateers/motherships
- A gardening system (tied to Land Plots)
- UE5
- Improved Outback Land Area functionality
- Improved Shop functionality
- to bring back Robot beacons to their former glory
- compensation for tier upgrader skill
etc...

I agree. And I think MA is really improving and I feel that they are doing much better after their biggest fuck up.
I think MA had 1 major mistake in the last few years that was almost a deal breaker for many that was the way mayhem was handled, to be more specifically the RM and it's fallout effect.
Evidence that they have improved? Since the last refill of UL weapons and items they have stuck to their plan of not refilling more UL items. If you check the Mayhem vendor they have added landareas apartments as many suggested here on the forum. People complained about too many AFK mayhem farming, then they changed the format various times (some not successful some are okay but at the end of the day you can see their effort to making changes here)
Then the many updates they have made in the last year were mostly positive like Mike listed.
MA is far from perfect but I see their efforts into making this game better.
This is just my opinion.
