Good morning or whenever people and uhhh screw it…
The popularity and player base of this game is decreasing. I know, I know it's been low for a while. But it has always seemed to stay around the same level. But there's starting to be a problem. Forum posts are at a 2 year low, according to my calculations. Also the players online have taken a huge spike. The only posts on the forums seem to be people bumping their markets and complaints… all the rubbish complaints.
Now I see why people are complaining. Now that I have discovered a few other games, Eldevin no longer draws me back into the fold. And part of the problem is, even I who does my absolute best to stay in contact with mods, I have them on skype, facebook and forum msges. But i'm no longer receiving replies. Now this probably means that they grow tired of me, but I think I have a pretty good relationship with one of the mods. The problem is that mod player communication is also at an all time low.
Now this needs to change, and fast. There are no longer any development updates, although I know one is planned for this month, but it seems, there is real communication, only half hazard dates.
Now of course this wouldn't be a rant without a few insults fired around so….
but i sorta got nothing
The moderators that I have been in contact with are actually very nice, as long as i'm not a *** to them ![]()
So here's what I suggest. We have many dedicated players, but a low moderator base. Really I haven't seen the mods online ingame in months. I suggest again PLAYER MODERATORS, or at least have a player who gets sent a bit of the meeting and can write up a development note every couple of days. I understand that HCS might not have the manpower to constantly communicate with the players all the time, so all the more reason to take a few choice players who are online a lot into the fold as moderators, or communicators. These mods wouldn't have any powers, they just get to know a few things before hand, and communicate with the players.
Like maybe savanc, (as long as he's not so literal or sarcastic, it's a bit annoying to others) he is on all the time and is very nice. he could get a video clip/ small note of what's going on in meetings/ideas or something and type a small developer note every week or every 3 days. This would take minimal effort by HCS except for selection process and would give players a huge base in morale and understanding
Take it or don't, but this problem must be addressed.
