Official Activity Q4 2025

[Egon Bigmemes]

It strikes me that the people who consider maintaining a faction a chore, shouldn't be running factions. Factions should be allowed to die (as they currently are) if people don't want to "maintain" them.
It's not about maintenance, it's about play.
Play the game, do things, have fun.

the issue is that when you had a large enough playerbase, it came naturally to play the faction. now you have to try and convince jaded individuals to log on and selfish individuals from opposing forces to log on too, or just plan some bland weekly event (or promise a small fortune because people wont log on for pvp for anything less most times)

i call it a chore because, again, unless you just treat the game as a chatroom/truck driving simulator, that's exactly what it is. you log on, have zero interactions, and have to force yourself to not fall asleep/alt tab off of the game while you grind up hours of activity because your region/PVP/faction niche is dead. i spent more than enough years leading factions to know what it entails and "just log on!" never has and never will be the solution, particularly for factions with restricted ZOI or dead regions of space.

Empty sandpits naturally make space for others.

????
what does this even mean in the context of discovery?
