Social Survey: Why people are loosing interest to Discovery?

[HoakinBlackforge]

Ok, i have been lurking here just for tiny seconds and noticed this thread, i feel like i have the right to post, though even i wont play anymore.

At first, when i started the game, the main idea of "progress" is to do discover trade routes that are profitable (which most are useless across the world), get bigger and better ships, and hoard some money to build up an actual good roleplay character and engage in good, fun roleplaying through the community. That was my goal. It was long, but i had hoped that it would eventually pay off the grind, helping the trade routes was also something i enjoyed, filling ore deports by myself when there was nobody available, so other players like me could make the ore trade routes wihout the help of a miner escort. Since you know, there was nobody willing to do that since they already had all the money and resources.

And then you know the story of what happened, the elite dominating group of players of the server, who have been playing for years, have near infinite resources, coordination and teams, decided to completely destroy the ore depots that were set to help out new players in progression.

Because they coulndt handle the idea of having opposition. Because THEY are the ones who must be at the top. And nobody else. Thats what happened that day. There was barely any excuse to roleplaying, nor reason to attack the ore depots other than stall or stop the progress of other players who were trying to experience the game and the community.

And they won, obviously. They won, and kept their chimpanzee ego intact. Some of us left as they wanted.

Im pretty sad because i had some good characters in the works at that time, like a survivor's guilt enclave soldier who joins the liberty army to take revenge on gallia, or a human whose soul has been transfered into a robotic body.

I must admit, reading into the lore that was built into the game definitely helped me improve my worldbuilding and character developing skills greatly. So thanks for that. Too bad i wont use them here anymore.


Enjoy your slowly, bleeding and dying community. Im sure you will deny whose fault it is.
