This game is dead. Run along now. Shoo. If you want buy a ton of energy, support OOO for their good work, but shoo.

Are they gone? Sweet. Now I can get cradle all to myself!
*Devs release new update, only to notice everyone is gone*
Sweet. New update all to myself.

huh

It's not dead haven't you seen all the merchants around in haven everyday

but I see what you mean by "this game is dead" so it's okay though it's more like "It's slowly dying"

The game is dead. *wink*. 100% dead.
No life for this game. Not one drop.

"This game is dead"? What?

Continues to stare at the full Haven I'm in and the line of new players ready to start their adventures into Cradle

Pretends to be a newbie as well in low-tier equips and joins them

Also I (don't) hate to break it to you but there's absolutely nothing to be gained from being the only player left.

Just exit your guild (if you have one), remove everyone from your friends list, go solo on missions and arcade, go solo if someone appears in the Advanced Training Hall or a Guild Training Hall (not sure if you can do that in haven but can't you switch to another empty instance?).

And if everyone is gone you probably won't have any more updates, so no keeping an update entirely for yourself.

And Gremlins (and any other inhabitants of Cradle) will still have the world, and it won't be easy to take it from them alone.

o.o

You guys understood the satire so hard that you made me admit it was satire, making it no longer be a satire, and therefore removing all the satire from this thread.

Yes I did, but...

Still, there's nothing to be gained from "having an update to yourself" or "having Cradle to yourself".

One does not simply remove the satire from a trollpost Spiral Knights thread.

Do I know when you're typing?

How do you know that I don't know if you're typing. I should probably just grave this thread, but I hope I brought joy to one forumer's face.

Who am I kidding? I hope that this thread stays here forever, for no reason whatsoever!

One does not simply make me feel like an idiot about the background of spiral knights.

I know you guys are joking, but I doubt you can call 441 player average not dead, when compared against 1000 player average from 2 years ago or the 2000 player average from 3 years ago.

That doesn't count players on other sites.

And that's still not exactly dead, even if it's closer to being dead.

It's still proportional until proven otherwise when compared against other player sites.

algorithms are the solutions to any problem.

can you still play the game?
then the game isn't dead. the game will be dead when OOO will decide to annouce that it will close.
if youare saying that the game is dying, no %&&$%. it's been pretty obvious for a while now.

When you see the company make all the wrong moves, and then censor you over PR reasons, and you still care for the game that's dying, of course it's gonna hurt to watch. I'll pass the popcorn.

Woah woah

Still proportional until proven otherwise?
Are you kidding me?
No. It's not proportional until proven true. Just like "The world is flat until proven otherwise." We don't know either way, so we shouldn't make assumptions. And Kongregate gets about 10 - 100 players on at a time. Last i checked.

BTW we do know that thw world isn't flat, its a history example.

Also, Proportional to WHAT? Proportional gives ratios. How is 400ish a ration? There's only one term.

Please explain to a confuzzled Avenger.

Proportional in population trends. The burden of proof is on company employees deciding whether or not to share the statistics. If the negative rumors are false, it'd be in the interest of the company to publish stuff like future plans and stats.

probably proportional, but no reason to cry

Yes, Steam is probably roughly indicative. Probably SK's general dropoff is proportional to its dropoff on Steam. The game's population has been declining for years. And players have been calling it dead for years. And I've been ignoring them, having fun, making new friends, etc.

If you enjoy the game, then you can still play it, same as always. And if you don't enjoy the game, then go do something else. There's no reason to whine or yell.

Agreed.

@Bopp

I agree with Bopp - if all you're gonna do is complain about it, then don't bother with SK. Don't be the person that ruins SK's great community by whinging about how 'dead' it is. For the people out there who still love the game, including myself, keep playing and don't let what people say bother you.

And as Bopp said, if you don't enjoy the game, go do something else. (And don't come crying to the forums when you miss a major update).
