I think it may be helpful to the developers to see just who and how many players are actually playing and posting here.

What I am asking for is very specific information to help the developers gauge just how valid these comment here on the forums are.

So, to do that Please answer these questions. And nothing else, NOTHING else please.

1. Are you a solo player or a member of a tribe.

2. If in a tribe, how many total members and how many actives are there playing at least once a week? ( truthful numbers here will help them ... lies only hurt YOU )

3. What is you or your tribe's general play style? ( YOU describe it please )

4. For any in your tribe/group/whatever that have left and actually told you why, what did they actually tell you. ( this is NOT an opportunity to manufacture reasons as guesses as to why they left .. you have to have been informed by them )


I will start us off...

1. member of a tribe.

2. 23 members total, 8 actives.

3. General style builder/crafter focused relaxed and enjoy current content.

4. One member said "Other games are just holding my interest better, I may be back later if things improve." Another said they wanted a more casual game and were afraid they would get addicted again like they did to other games. Another said "things feel empty with no real purpose"

[Book]

1. Homestead.

2. Not currently active. Often think of reactivating, mainly waiting to see how things shape up. See #4 as well.

3. Relaxed style, enjoy building and socializing. Would greatly enjoy the occasional pvp in a team environment for fun, anger a turn-off, laughs and "good-game" at the end without real life frustration on either side preferred. Goal oriented.

4. So hooked on Bad Company 2 right now, making progress, not done with that yet. Main reason I left was the sense that things would head in a more aggressively natured pvp environment which is not what I look for in a mmo. More interested in the survival and immersive aspects of the game which feel more on the back burner in the immediate future.

1) Tribe.
2) 24, 15+ active in the last week, and I would say 8+ active daily.
3) Mix of PVP, PVE, and Crafting.
4) Game is unfinished and lack of reasons to do anything. (No reason to PVP, or PVE, or craft).

[JCatano]

1. Tribe

2. 8 -- Zero actives

3. All styles

4. I've gotten replies of the following fashion: "Boring." "Game sucks ass." "It's dead." "Combat is terrible." "Nothing to do." "No purpose." "Hahahaha".

I can relate to all of those.

[Aiden]

1. Solo/Homesteader

2. 0...I haven't bothered to log in for quite some time now.

3. Explorer/Fighter/Trader

4. No point...it's not a game yet. Been playing sandbox games since I started gaming and I'm good at making goals and defining my own "content" in games...but Xsyon doesn't even provide the tools to do that yet.

Edit: Also...WOW...just tallied up total:inactive as of Vandal's post...over 300 in tribes just mentioned here...and only 40 active...

[Jadzia]

1. Solo
2. Not in tribe so I'm the only active one
3. Crafter/explorer/trader
4. Some friends left due to real life issues, many left due to 'nothing to do in game, crafting has no real purpose'

[Dubanka]

1. Tribe

2. 23 on totem. 0.5 active (just me, in game couple hours a week, maybe)

3. organizationally based pvp

4. lack of content, lack of point, lack of seige, not a finished product

Same and part of same tribe. Still see us as .5 active since I have not physically logged into game for 1 month plus. Waiting on next patch before considering logging in. Check forums daily looking at updates but do not necessarily post daily.

I'm sure its the same with many of the community as it is with Dubs and I: Our playerbase(s) are standing by listening to our input and awaiting a real reason to log in.

*Not trying to deviate the point/purpose of thread, but do feel that it is a good point to keep said points in retrospect.

So far very good response to this thread. Thanks for keeping your commentaries to a minimum, and let try and keep it that way.

The entire purpose of this thread is to help the Developers get a true sense of how many players from active tribes are still playing and how many they have lost, and hopefully give them information as to why they left.

Of course, it does mean that a tribe would be interested in reading the forums or advertising their tribe to get recruits to even be seen or replied to, but that too give a true picture of interest levels and how much folks believe in the game and it's direction.

I have two accounts:
#1:
- very large tribe
- probably over 100 members, almost all or all are inactive
- crafting, building, pvp
- almost everyone left because there is nothing to do, no updates, no new features. They are waiting for something to be developed before they come back.

#2:
- solo
- I'm not very active, log in every few weeks
- crafting, building
- nothing to do, no point in trading, no point in crafting
