    Based on the fact they no longer have an office and are all working remotely, I doubt it.

    There are the Sycophants, who will tell you all is Great, This release they say they worked on Taming, they only tweaked some Stats on one tamed critter that has been out but broken since introduced. Crafting LoL they took a look and changed on secondary resource while 100s are still totally dysfunctional. They reskin rewards and have reintroduced every item ever sold for less than 1/2 the original cost to player who put the game into motion. It is totally Free to play, do so and play ALOT before ever considering paying them anything.

    Granted, this only counts Steam numbers, but the downward trend doesn't look promising.

    from steam alone 200 is playing it so my guess is that it has around 800 players because steam downloads insane size updates, standalone client downloads just fraction (few 10 mb)

    plays exactly the same for me , except now I have hitching.



    Your full of it. Your just a troll, there is no hitching at all since the last patch.
    The performance is pretty awesome on windows and GNU/Linux.
    I've advised my client to report you to the local constabulary for breaking and entering.

    Resizing of decorations was a big hit. It greatly expanded the options available in an already steller deco system.

    The first month it was a bit hard, but that had to do with a few devs taking a vacation. They are pretty stable now.

    Development is on track.



    No, it isn't. They already announced that development of Episode 2 has been delayed. They're too busy selling recoloured assets to work on it, apparently.

    A couple hundred is “lots of players”? Last time I logged in, I ran around and saw maybe a couple players at
    Most. Be real, the game is not doing well nor has it ever done well. It’s sad to see cause I don’t like seeing games go under but come on, the proof is in the pudding and the puddings hitting everyone in the face.

    Welcome to the world of instanced parties. of course you wont see many around except in the towns and the few who dont teleport everywhere.

    They introduced teleport to zone scrolls which is kind of like the old UO Teleport rune stones. once you visit a place you can teleport with out ever going to the map. costs you a scroll but saves alot of running around.

    I can tell you that I have played 4 years + now and still adding new people to my friends list. That said I can assure you its not dead. I have 3 pages of friends on my list min online during this time 1:16pm on a work day. after hours alot more and weekends there are more then 10 pages of people on my list online.

    Not delayed... ep2 first 2 zones that lead into were delayed 1 patch. which is in may.

    its been doing great. lots and lots of bug fixes, daily or almost dialy live streams form devs and QA every day is awesome. they are really listening to the players who ask things in twitch.

    Actually there was a few pets tweaked not just the one. it was not just taming but elemental pets ;)

    guess Im a Sycophant as I still play and love this game despite the few issues that I see as needing some help. Every patch lots gets fixed, lots gets added, new artifacts, bosses, reworked zones, balance, and new deco. I cant complain.

    Quote from live stream 2:35pm today: they have been getting about 150 new subs per month which has been like this for several months now. you can check out todays stream for exact wording.

    If that was the case they wouldn't be working out of their homes. And Xee weren't you the one who was caught selling an exploited item for profit?

    An another white knight.. Lots of players? Prove it.  Links, videos or statements from the devs. Anything…  Btw, did you know , Darkstarr is also working on an another game?  Yeah,he's so good he can work on EP 2 and an another project…..  Btw, what is going on with the novel thing?  6 years and the backers didn't get this rewards yet? They also deleted a 2 months old thread to hide their incompetence to give an update. https://massivelyop.com/2019/05/01/shroud-of-the-avatar-developers-address-kickstarter-reward-novel-fulfillment-sec-filings/ 

    I also can't wait for SeedInvest annual report.  We'll see if they are really doing fine. 

    So, show me where you get your informations because so far, you didn't show anything.

    Portalarium filed its report in 2018, though it has not done so yet in 2019, in spite of the fact that the deadline appears to be today – 120 days past the end of the fiscal year.

    But it sounds as if it’s not been forgotten; it’s just still forthcoming. Here’s what Starr Long told us this morning: “We are still working with our legal and accounting firms on that information and will provide it where required when it is all finalized.”
