so..im either active or i never was

Problem with this game? You can buy your way to the top, and you can purchase premium currency with in-game currency. Premium currency should be kept separate from in-game currency, and should only be allowed to buy accessory/custome items with it (like maplestory). People buying their way to the top should be simple to understand (hint hint cocosnake).

"40% left to play Diablo 3? More like 5%. I knew plenty of active people before it came out. I think 4 left to play D3, and they are back now, cause they did everything possible in like 2 weeks."

I agree, not many left for Diablo 3.

Spiral Knights as a whole is a better, and less greedy designed video game overall.

This shouldn't be a shocker, if you have ever been on the forums you will see that it is flooded with hate because Blizzard tossed the reins over to Jay Willson who is a terrible game developer with next to 0 experience, most importantly, 0 experience with the previous Diablo games. If you even try to make an "I love Blizzard" thread in there you will get spat at (in fact, I might be the one doing the spitting), as well as the thread will be off of the first page very quickly and to never return.

And that is why there is a "Real Money Auction House" That is tearing up the economy, as well as the entire game totally lost all of the good things from Diablo 2.

Jay Willson is an idiot and I am glad that we have our developers for this game, because at least OOO isn't ignorant and they want to find out why people left their game.

Yeah, but in this game, at least people spending $$ for CE will help out the new / free playerbase by lowering the price of it.

The way this game is going is fine, it is just that new players that aren't at missions rank 5-2 are on the low end of the stick.

I have yet to receive a mail of a Solstice Box D: D: D:

Just because there's something to do, doesn't make it something FUN to do.

Yeah, Diablo 3 turned out to be such an overrated failure and I'm glad I didn't buy the game. I'm just being objective, my pal bought it and he was always complaining about Blizzard changing a lot of things, as if the game wasn't developed for so long (it seems that the delaying tactics were just to build hype). Everything turned out to be broken, imbalanced and unsecured, mass hacks broke out just after the second week of release, AH could be 'fooled' by changing you system's time, never ending nerfing of characters and monsters and so much more.

In fact due to the recent nerf, the Demon Hunter class was rendered almost useless. He almost quit LOL

"Oh my gosh are you breaking up with Three rings? Is the divorce final this time? Who gets custody of the kids? See this relationship is a lack of communication. Let's talk about our feelings. Oh wait you already did that, so does that mean Three Rings wears the pants? Dot dot dot."

Dear lord are you hilarious or what

At first glance, what was the single most important factor that encouraged you to play Spiral Knights?
The addition to steam and the art style of the game.

Can you remember your impressions of the game from your first time playing? Were they positive?
I was amazed at how fun the game was to play, it was easy to learn but extremely hard to master.

Was it clear to you how the game economy worked? Did it seem reasonable and fair?
At first, the economy was slightly confusing. But after awhile, I figured out all the little tidbits. It's fair in my eyes.

As you gained more experience, what aspect of the game was most exciting?
The thought of delving into the clockworks, discovering more about the planet itself. Delving into lairs of complex bosses, devising ways to defeat them with your teammates and claiming the rare prizes that they held.

Can you tell us what aspect of the game you liked least?
Lockboxes and Shadow Lairs. Lockboxes introduced accessories, which drew almost all of your attention away from real content. The same with Shadow Lairs, these are nothing new. You have simply rehashed old areas and bosses, which you had no real right to do since there is so much you could expand on with new content.

As mentioned earlier, it seems like you have stopped playing the game regularly. Can you share the reason why? Is there something that would incline you to play the game more? A specific feature or change?
The complete lack of any real content. You need more bosses, more areas to explore, more story. It also needs to come out faster. I understand game development is a lengthy process, but you barely give us any hint at all that you are working on something. Release spoilers, have ARGs, and more importantly EXPAND! Look at all these creatures you have, Vog hasn't made an appearance yet and his cubs used to be in the game. Devilites have a corporate ladder, easy to put in a CEO boss. The Crimson Order has only been mentioned once or twice. We need more content at a faster rate to keep ourselves interested in the game you've designed.

Is "I've done everything that interests me" no longer a good reason to stop playing a game and move on? Sounds like OOO was completely successful. Unless you never spent any money, I suppose. In which case they might be thinking 'good riddance'? Well I suppose they can be successful from a video game perspective and not from a business perspective. Certainly the rate of attrition of game development studios that make even successful games is quite impressive.

Also what are these games that release new content weekly?

I do find this sort of mail-out a bit intrusive though. Try cancelling a credit card or some insurance policies ;) I usually fill them with ridiculous responses if any at all. "why did you stop playing?" "I found a dead bird on my lawn and took it to be an ill omen."

Holla come back!...but only if the Danger Missions come this week. If they don't, then peace out boy scout!

Well, for one thing, I think Boswick doesn't have much to do besides making more accessories. :P

For all we know, Boswick may be the only one who ever does much of anything, such as, working 5 days a week. :P And then the rest of them just play the game 4 days a week, and only get 1 day a week in of work. XD

hmm. I have gotten bored here and there. Maybe I will leave and come back to SK an event comes on again. XD

Sorry. I didn't know this was a necro thread. LOL

I have started playing Path of Exile and simply enjoying it. That being said, I always loved SK and always will but as far as "playing regularly" is concerned, the developers have really disappointed me and that ain't happening unless some core issues are solved. The game has so much potential but does so little for the "majority" of community. However, I hope and eagerly wait for new content and most importantly new approach from OOO in handling this game.
