Really people... your all freaking out just because the avg population went down 200 people... SK will come back in population once OOO gets new stuff.
"SK is dieing" is just a negative virus
Three Rings doesn't let people know what's going on, so people get bored, so people start to leave, so we get lots of "SK IS DYING" posts, and everybody gets a headache
And yet you guys keep reviving the virus by making threads about it over and over and over again. And this thread isn't even bringing anything new to the table!! it is just repeating what has already been said time after time after time after time after time AFTER TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME AFTER FUC-
Ahem, fellow knights, Aviri has been sedated and is being taken back to anger management therapy, thank you for your comprehension.
All MMOs die over time. This is obvious, I should hope.
The way SK is handled makes it happen a bit faster than normal. I know the remaining SK fanatics love being in denial, but activity charts aren't hard to get a hold of and they'll show you it's true.
By the way, since I haven't played in some time, when was the last time permanent new content was added? Promos and events do not qualify as permanent new content.
The last permanent content I can see was 2014-05-21, when the endings to numerous missions were changed, to advance the plot. But maybe you don't count that as content. It's pretty small, to be sure.
2013-10-16 was Arcade Redux part 1, including new pickups. But maybe you don't count that as content.
2013-07-30 was the mega-update that basically redesigned Spiral Knights, including battle sprites.
Yes, all MMOs will eventually die. But it's strange to me that fans of an MMO should actively propagandize for the death of their MMO on its forums.
IF they get new stuff.
