Looking at how far the game has been for the past 2 months, I’d say this game is in its 3rd trials of BETA Testing, whether you like it or not. This game is already ruined by the fact that,
-
At the start of the release day, the devs failed to provide the right amount of servers needed to sustain early player base, instead they add tons of new servers on the second day, which lead to this catastrophic migration towards new server and made the first day servers slowly dying, and all of the AP Southeast Day-1 Servers are dead, except for Utopia which was saved because of the transfer option.
-
At this point, there has been numerous amount of bugs and exploits that are destroying the game, and it is affecting the players that wanted to play this game fairly.
-
The endless duplicates, once this game is infected with dupes (golds, items, gears, etc) it is useless to try and erase them from the server, because the stuff that’s been duped had already been exchanged and traveled to many players at this point, that’s just how the illegal market works.
It’ll be wise to start admitting that for the past 2 months of this “release” of the game, that so many mistakes and failure to keep up happened. There can only be few options left to carry on forward this point,
A) It’s either this game do a hard reset, and compensate players based off their hardwork, the time that they put in the game, and give some advancement boosts toward the clean slate new servers. For example, in the hopefully new and clean servers, the players that would be given the advancement boosts, could have a proper amount of materials of higher tier in advance for example like Tier IV 100 each, Tier V 100 each, just to provide a fair crafting chance for tier IV and tier V (tools and gears). Or it could be anything that the players voted or decided. Probably give those players a survivor skins as well, they’d been through so much and spent so much time only to start over, whatever it is the compensations must be fair and square.
or/
B) This game keeps on going, with the hope that everything gets fixed, and no matter how ruined this game is, how messy the situation is/was everyone just keep on hoping that it’ll bring back player base again, and heal itself with time and patience. But, there’s no telling if it’ll ever happen again, because it is keep on happening, new exploits and new bugs are being found on daily basis. So it’s just going to run in circle until this game is dead and lost its player base for good.
