Hi guys, long-time player and first-time poster. I'd just like everybody to consider the idea that, at least in Australia... This game is more catatonic than Charlie Sheen's acting career and is practically a necrophilliac's wet dream. Let me expound on this by quickly saying that it's 8pm AEDT as I write this and there are about 20 people spread over a few servers.
I snatched RO2 when it was free last year, and since I loved it so much I later went on to buy RS.
I'm certain that something like this needs to happen again. When the game went free the playercount was stuck at 40,000-50,000 for weeks on end. Now we're lucky to hit 800.
At 800, it surely must be more active in other regions. But here on the 26th (a public holiday weekend), we couldn't manage to get a 50-man server full.
I never thought I'd see a situation as dire as this in the playerbase. But for some reason or another those 50k players have dropped the game like a ton of bricks. We're seriously in need of some new blood on the scene to give this game a transfusion.
I understand that with KF2 and RS2 on the brain, we're not likely to see anything huge in terms of content developments. And that's perfectly fine. We've got a great game as it is. But as it is, we've got a great game that's hemorrhaging players.
Please guys. I beg you. Seriously consider doing something to help this game off life-support. One-day freebie again, Humble Bundle, more Steam sales even?
It helped before, and something is needed again. Battlefield 3 got saved twice with Humble Bundle and then a freebie. We need something now.
