The game is not dead and 3-4 patches are said to be ready to roll out starting in Jan.

No the ranged probably wont be one of them....I could see pvp dieing completely after people get killed without knowing what hit them or from where. I want ranged but sorry I think with the combat the way it is, ranged would be a disaster right now.

I don't use Steam, I log in normal. I have been at this now for 4 years on and off...there are no npc quests...best thing around.

if all you can do is come to forums to complain then this is not the game for you...Old or new.

The game is dead when you look at it from the STEAM users point of view.

For most of the plague that is Steam users, they look at the Steam Charts for a game to see what the population is.

If you look at this, this will tell you all you need to know if you are a Steam user.

13 average players that connect through Steam, and a peak of 35. Wow... pretty much dead to them. Anything less than 1000 players is dead when they look at MMOs.

If we are to compare the games in this market to each other.... here is a few others side by side.

Xsyon- 35 peak
Wurm Unlimited- 777
Mortal Online - 239
LiF:YO-2285

Those are all sandbox games, 2 of them are MMORPG Open world PVP Sandbox, 2 are much like Xsyon but not (yet) MMOs, but are online and have dedicated servers.


Just being the devils advocate here. Being a player who uses Steam but not part of the self-entitled plague of locusts that is the current crop of Steam gamers. For them it all about numbers, what is cool, what is cheap and what is trending.
