So What Now?
거북이는 목을 내밀 때 안 움직입니다
It is truly sad. It is so simple. If you make a game, then never give up on it. Never sell it. What is so hard about that? Don't you have children to feed? Are you seriously going to take a little money and run? There are children out there who will pay money to play your games. You don't have to make a fortune. It's about making a living and making something that other people can relax with when it is freezing outside with nowhere to go.
Not because I really love anime, but the mmorpg ArcheAge did something in the right direction with having the ability to grow plants. Runescape sort of did things like this before they went insane and basically changed their entire game. And then Minecraft came along with Notch and you can actually cultivate your own trees and grow food and plant flowers. Isn't anybody writing this all down at mmorpg gaming studios yet? Hello? These are things your games need. Bad. Desperately! You need interesting crafting. Not boring crafting. Hitting a button and watching a bar fill up is ok if that's all your game has. But don't stop there (but you have!). And then Notch sold his child to the Microsoft mothership (whoops!). It's like people don't care what happens to their customers, players, their game, or their own children for that matter. Or their own selves. Look at what happened to games like Subspace and Infantry. Look at what happened to Dark Age of Camelot. Everything is being sucked into Steam and other Motherships. The mothership is just like independence day and and the invader tripods in war of the worlds. They are just here to vaporize you, your games, your players, and your families! Which is a lot like ancient evil god worship that is so artistically drawn in these games.
Try making your games interesting without Combat mechanics at all. See how far you get with that. Then actually add in interesting combat mechanics. And by interesting, I mean plain. But good plain. In fact, the slower the better as long as it's good. And then make a living out of it. No one normal can comprehend anything else that is going on in this genre's history anymore. Let the top ten list on mmorpg dot com speak for itself: Subspace and Infantry used to be #1 games here. Those games now are in the pit because of their creator's decisions. Games that were perfect, with nothing wrong with them that couldn't be fixed. Games that could have brought in an income but by the bad logic of the parents thought it best to allow the entire world to play their game for free and be trolled to death by people with incredibly bad immorality, habits, and disorders. Justice will eventually come to a head for all this. You wait and see!

Scroll down to the bottom left where you can see the message clear: Bring the games to the mothership so the game can live! But it is only further from the truth without the author present. Just like Disney sucks after Walt died.
http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/163527/Sony_shuts_down_several_longrunning_online_games.php Sony said "... that it was time for the developers of each game to move on to new endeavours." AKA Leave and never come back. Unless you have more video games to give up.

Communities cannot maintain the game. Only the creator can. The seeds cannot bear the tree and the fruit. The tree must bear the fruit and the fruit must bear the seed.
You have all killed your children by sacrificing your children to the mothership! Just like in Prometheus.
Genesis 1:29
Corn is a fruit from grass who's seeds have been forced to the fruit's skin surface. Strawberries do the same. Cashews force their fruit out of its fruit. Peanuts bury their fruit.
Communism cannot raise your child.

Remember this is not your typicall theme-park MMO that plays the game for you but a quite unique MMO that we previous UO player appreciate and now how to play. This game is quite new for the MMO market today. All young players that havent played games like UO dont know how to play these kind of game. I mean wait, there is no point on the map that tells me where I am? Wait there is not arrow infront of me telling me where to go? Etc..
Trust me, when this game goes OBT and even launch there will be lots of people playing it Im sure! The MMO-market needs this kind of game. And in time I think even new and young players will appreciate it.

1 It was an extremely good STAND ALONE single player game.
2 Well thought-out survival game for it's time, that was it's selling point first.
3 Had player made small cap servers, most were password locked by teems.
Because of points 1 and 2 is what made 3 popular !
I'm not shooting anyone down, as I really want to know how this shapes your thoughts on the game. Does seeing lots of people provide a specific needed feeling?
Regardless of any of that, I guess I'll need to see how the game comes together in the final version.
Good luck devs!
Gut Out!
What, me worry?
Player run servers and a player created client kept the game running, where it otherwise would have disappeared in 1998. It stayed pretty populated for a while, and the game still exists today. It doesn't have many players anymore because it's a 2d spaceship game from the 1990s, not because of some "creator's decisions" as you suggest.
Still my favorite game of all time. I grew up playing Subspace before the existence of all the online games we have today and it'll always hold a special place in my heart. Amazing game.
Example:
The game looks good BUT plays bad.
The game looks horrible, BUT this game has deep customization.
NOT A GOOD PRO TIP..... Even I can pick up on this and I cant even string a paragraph together.
It doesn't matter how good the game looks, since it plays badly the conclusion is one should not buy it.
Conversely, it might look horrible, but with its deep customization again we assume this this feature is of far greater importance, so the main condition again is ignored in favor of the contrasting statement.
But is a conjunction which properly used means this (contrast) instead of that (main idea)
Here's a fun video which taught me and my children everything we needed to know, Schoolhouse Rock's "Conjunction Junction."
Keeping it fun on a Thursday.
