Can't agree more!
The ONLY game I've regretted backing, and I've backed the Repopulation.....

Kyleran on yours sincerely
'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'

It now seems the norm to allow people who have supported a game with cash to keep any advantages they have got after launch.
The issues with that are obvious, but increasingly cash shops MMOs seem to be designed around the whales.
Really ? There are plenty of people playing ? Did you see the numbers somewhere? Because the devs refused to show it.
There is mmmmaaaybe 300 players playing this crap.
Thank you, you're proving my point.
Your point being that you have an abnormal hatred for a video game and are trying to turn my opinion post about a game into a debate over numbers? That's all I took from your post.
I'd say designed around increasing profits. Also a lot of people who spend lots of money on these types of games are scraping by and some even work extra hours to be able to afford their hobby. Some see stuff and buy it and worry about paying the bills later.

So they're not wiping beta progress on March 27? If that's the case, then the real release happened after the last wipe.
You're still don't have anything proving your comments. When everyone else knows how empty the game is. The devs are doing the same as you ,they don't answer any questions about the population. Cheers!
And YOU don't have any proof either, and do you know everyone btw lol
My comments were my opinions. I didn't give any 'facts' that I had to prove. By plenty I meant enough people playing for me to group with, keep the economy moving, and for me to enjoy the game. No numbers expressed or implied. You are just trying to twist what I said into something you can rant against. You appear to have some personal issue with the game. Maybe you should talk with someone about that.
Very funny that he is using anecdotal evidence then insisting everyone else prove their assertions/opinions with facts. Good catch.
Good point !!
I'm not all that surprised, though. The game does some things differently than the majority of MMORPGs these days, and for all the complaining about the genre being stale there don't seem to be all that many that want to explore afield. It isn't all that cutting edge aesthetically either, so some will be turned off by that from the start.
I'll check it out again seeing as it is supposed to be ready for release.
As pointed out, the last wipe was over a year ago, so what makes March 27th special in any way really?
Just another day right?

Right they had a last wipe over a year ago, they don't plan on wiping for release.
I guess it's a chance for them to try and get new people to try it out even though they've had a free trial of some kind for a good long time now but like you said it's been persistent for over a year now so people can decide for themself what that means to them. Anyone that wanted it already bought it or tried it by now I bet. Nothing special is comin with this "release". I tried to hop back in see if it had changed much in about year and half that i last played, I played it for bout 3 hours is all i could take. It still has crap card flippin combat, combat animations are generic look, instanced zones out the wazoo yeah loading screens baby! Like all the time. The character creation is pitiful. The story flat out sucks. I saw they just moved a lot of their store stuff to in game on vendors for cotos to try and make their shop not look so offputting, good luck ever gettin a coto to drop some people say they been playing for dozens and hudreds hours still never seen one drop. This game is a wreck. I def think peeps should play their free trial before they buy it, its not for everyone.
I've been in the game a few times, but have been very, very, unimpressed with everything that I've seen. Everything felt very unpolished and clunky. I chalked it up to the game being in alpha/early beta, but seeing how little change I have seen ingame since its early days, and seeing how close they are to "releasing"... Anyways I didn't like how they keep pushing for players to play the game during early access, with all the exclusive rewards, and all the housing lot allocations and such. And yeah I have seen a bunch of other players, but pretty much all of them were AFK-skill-spam-leveling... wasn't impressed. The travel system was horrible; the world felt empty and generic; and combat was clunky and not fun to play.
I'll check back in after it's been "released", but not holding out hope for improvements. We shall see I guess?
