Social Survey: Why people are loosing interest to Discovery?

[Pennyfield]

TL;DR (all the comments so forgive me for double posting yet it may show a similar mindset)

The past year was especially strange for the majority of us and this also has it's effect on things in-game. While I agree that the bureaucracy of Mod/GM/Dev related requests is there I also know that, they too, have a private life even though they have committed to dedicate some time to the community.

In the end it's just a game and yes, it is orchestrated and directed but hey, with so many community members it's always hard to find a balance which pleases everyone. And if you do, you have to make some concessions which will make things more bland and far less exciting. See of it as a restaurant chef who creates a dish. Some may think it's just right and others complain about too much salt or the lack of salt. The way each one experiences this game cannot be compared.

I myself prefer to focus on my characters and developing the story which depicts their lives. Whenever I'm online I use that in my RP and it brings joy to the game and joy to my life. But then I too get frustrated at times, it's part of the game, part of life and all one can do is to discuss this openly and without prejudice.

So as to answer your question to why people may be loosing their interest in Discovery can only say that I think it's a combination of so many things mentioned in other posts but most of all, it has a lot to do with the world we currently live in.

So perhaps we all (including me) should log more often and focus on the RP as we build and truly play our characters. Let's enjoy that for it's a game which, especially giving it's age, deserves to be enjoyed.
