The Forum

[quote="TOLIC"]I've had a short break from soma and have been thinking is it worth my time to come back and play again. After scrolling through the forums and seeing both positive and negative things in the past month or so, I'm still wondering if i should put any effort back into playing. Now, a few things I need to know before I make any sort of comeback, - What does the future hold? Are there any big patches/updates being worked on or that are being planned any time soon? Lvl cap + etc. - Ghostlord being reinstated - does this mean more man power for content etc? Or is this a replacement for isylver while he takes time off? What is his job role now he's back. - The usercount - I know a lot are playing Albion online, but are there still people playing and enjoy doing so? (Caped lvl 100 players) or even the lower levels, is the enthusiasm still there to reach lvl 100? In a nut shell, what can I expect to happen in the coming months to keep me and I'm sure everyone else entertained and playing. Might see you all back ingame Big T[/quote]

[quote="CYPHUS"]Usercount has indeed plummeted Ghostlord never used to have access to database so could only listen to ideas and forward to an afk team, hence neither ever happened last time People still enjoy the game, but there's hardly any game interaction going on anymore You can solo any space for a week if you like There's a few capped guys around If you get w decent drop nobody will buy it cos there's no item trade anymore.. People just hog them or give to guild or put in forum then throw up a 'sold in game' or- gave to a mate There hardly any herbs gong around so upgrades are hard to make Other that tolicane, feel free to come back and target people att nightmare ... You might get a kill in [/quote]

[quote="CYPHUS"]Nothing ever* not neither either [/quote]

[quote="DEVULA"]I have PM'd Finito a very much similar question tonight. Heard rumours that the end maybe coming soon.[/quote]

[quote="MICKYC"][quote="DEVULA"]I have PM'd Finito a very much similar question tonight. Heard rumours that the end maybe coming soon.[/quote] I personally hope that the rumours are wrong. I am still thoroughly enjoying playing and hope to be able to for a good while yet. This is still a good game to play and despite the various bitchings that go on, I still look forwards to playing each day :). I like the camaraderie in my guild and have made a few good friends here in Soma. Why not re-open the abyss as-is so as to give new things for the capped players to go at? Raise the cap now for, say, 10 levels too for the same reason - these would bring back some of the bored capped players for sure :) [/quote]

[quote="SANDOKAN"]must say with the drop in usercount even I lost my interest in playing my regular hours each day ... even yday made a new char on world of warcraft -.-[/quote]

[quote="WAKKAA"]when i started 3-4 months ago the count was much higher than it is now it felt, also losing interest sadly[/quote]

[quote="BOLLOCKCHOPS"]Stop being a divvy and play. There should be a rule banning people from the forum if they say the game is ending or it terrible. It is what it is and when I came back I honestly was surprised by the amount of players and the updates from Fin and Isylver.[/quote]

[quote="LLESSAC"]IDK about other guilds but Arcanix has about 20 active players (who play every day/couple of days), and a lot of people are around the level 70-75 mark. I've been in town the past 5 days crafting and have seen dozens of different people, lots from Heaven guild, lots from NM and DL and smaller guilds too. Another example of how the game is more active than you might expect is that yesterday Jackelpup and I were each working on different quests, and he found that there were other people hunting anachrotas in conti, and I found other people hunting giant spiders in the swamp. That's something I really wouldn't have expected honestly. I would say the hunger for most of us who aren't capped is still there to reach level 100, but can also understand that the motivation drains at higher levels. The events recently have been fun, and personally I'm still having fun with the game, warts and all.[/quote]

[quote="KUSONOKI"]I heard a rumour that our game is under no threat whatsoever and will always have a dedicated player base and is continued to be enjoyed by so many of us. Screw the trouble makers, you know who you are. Big thankyou to the guys that make MoS happen. Playing since 2002.[/quote]
