Hos did NS die so quickly?

Post by Okie Christ »

Okey.. when I used to play (months back)
I could not post without a reply on it withen 10 minutes...
Now it takes hours and hours for someone to reply to anything...
This means that NS has lost mass ammounts of people..

Why?

Now that's just a rude term to use. The real reason is because the Okies left us all alone with Terminal and he assassinated the devs.

NS4 hasn't seen much in the way of updats and I know the DMs and Devs are workin at em. But simply i believe that they are getting worn out. Its a tough job creating a mod and helping it grow. The slow down is a lack of serious interest and effort put forth that is noticeable by the standard gamer. Some new DM events are taking place (yay) and that awsome, new areas to open "soon". But that "soon" joke is just the problem. It takes too long to do stuff and ppl get tired and stop waiting. Also a problem i've noticed and i think could be easily fixed.

***POST A SIGN ABOUT THE SERVER TRANSITIONS IN THE RIFT PORTAL***

about a month ago i talked to a guy who made 5 chars till he figured it out..... i mean how many people do you think come to the server, are on the wrong 1 for their faction and just figure the mods broken and leave... thats a decent chunk of new blood that we are losing. We can't post advertisments or anything, its all about first impressions and we aren't making a good one. Post a sign telling them which factions are on which server so they can get on the right 1, posting it in the forums does little good to the new guys.

Also an injection of new blood in the Dev and DM teams could do wonders. New guys are always full of energy and trying to prove themselves. They also bring along fresh ideas and perspectives. A few new DMs and some new devs could do great things.

**just my thoughts

I think the "soon" really means soon :) ... who knows ... maybe just maybe the epic areas are being tested as we speak ... 2 big epic areas would take some time too prebeta test before adding too the mod so cross you're fingers. Great things come to those that wait .

How does that work if they never get on to a server in the first place?

Before the server goes black for them they need to choose their faction at the planer rift, thats what Karak points at i guess

correct

Exactly, If a new guys joins on server 1 and picks a server 2 faction it goes black. We all know this but they don't and its costing us some new blood im sure.

I just think that there will be no NS4 retail...I mean....it will forever stay beta....just take an exemple of MSN Messenger...when they came out the version 7 BETA....that version was enough "good" to be out in an integral version...but they only put beta because if there are bugs then its the fault of the "BETA"..."its only a beta, dont blame us" ...i think that its the same thing with NS4 ....It could be out as a integral server and not a beta....but the thing with ns4 is that nwn is going down with the MMORPG and nwn2 coming soon.....think about that! Why coding when a better engine will be out and there is so less people interesting in that? So they are only waiting for NWN2
