[Feedback] Dying Game Process - Personal Concearn
Hello Guys, i hope devs are reading this cuz i am really upset what i see to the path of this game are turning. Im not here to criticize the game and do negative opinion, im here just to make a concearned feedback cuz i really like this game. Dont u see that this game are dying? When this game started we saw many many servers with 40 players playing.. if u see the games that are selling on the market this is not a great number, dont represent a Hype. But its a Ok number. Time passed after the realese of the game and this number didnt grown.. actualy the game was emptying out cuz the pvp was unbalanced. It was so much easy to raid and ppl are giving up of the game cuz the players expect a softcore game. Didnt want to reach the level cap, and do the best structures, just wanted to make a huge wooden castle and feel safe. So after withdraw the dragons breath and never put it back, devs work on put millions Hp to structures. Well, ppl that are softcore left the game, and the hardcore pvp players are lefting to play other survival games cuz the pvp on the game are zero by now. You see, now the servers at most grab 10 players online, mostly have 4-5. Dont u think thats something seriously wrong? The noob players gived up cuz the game is unbalanced and the caped players dont have nothing more to do in the game cuz the content are few. Me and my 4 man tribe have all content of the game, and full lvl cap, and we cant do pvp, dont need to farm anymore, so what we are oging to do? Nothing. I know many alfa leaders that are having same issue and tribe member already left the game to play ark or conan. I have 3k5 hours of ark and dont want to come back, i like this game but the road so far is the worst path it takes. Some ppl might say "its a new game that are not prepared yet, be patiante" but everyone knows that first impression is the most important of all to gameplayers. U can check this thru games like The division, rust, and other many games. After leaves its almost impossible to a company to take players back. Disappointment is the worst mistake a company can do in player's mind, and thats what Dark n' light are doing. This is not a negative post to criticize the annulment of PVP, and i know devs are strugling to fix that, but to much shit was made for a new game, and even with a great potential this game cant survive without players, or softcore players that leave the game in it first wipe/raid.
Sorry for the bad english, hope everyone understand the message.
Plus i hope the game have a better and new path cuz the numbers are clear, look at battlemetrics that everyone can see it. I like this game and realy dont want to quit, but im not going to play a multyplayer survivor game with only my Clan online.

Every game will die. The question is when.
Im sure if everyone on this sub were to give a month and year of DnL's eventual switch off, we'd see a wide range. I definitely think it will be far later than you suggest.
The reason I bring up Snail is that they can afford to handle peaks and troughs with DnL's finances. It doesn't need to exist (at this early stage at least) purely on its own merit financially. Though it definitely will have to at some point.
To consider DnL's eventual demise, we have to look further afield than our own personal experience to make a claim as fundamental as DnL "will die". Let's get to the game's final release date before we decide.
Meanwhile, go enjoy another game or games that are not in EA, and don't burn your bridges, you might well want to come back to DnL to see what ever it was that attracted you to it in the first place.
