The question is, why are you guys letting the game i love die?
Its not easy to maintain players log rate i know, but are you even trying?
Its a shame that events are like 3~4 months apart and we cant even do it cause of the lack of players.
My suggests are:
Be a more active staff, stipulate a daily login bonus/prizes to reward not only players who pay, do events every month not like 4 per year.
Bring new bosses, rise depth limit/difficulty, new craftable equipments, new battle sprite race, add a damn use to those green and blue crystal.
In long term change the server system to a blend between server host for PVP and player host to PVE so we from out of server country can play without lag, it will separate the server by countries of course but i'm tired of dying when on my screen i'm not even near the mob.
Not saying any of this will really save this game anymore, but, if you continue doing nothing it certainly wil die.
That's all i wanted to say, i truly hope that this will be read and change something cause i would be sad to lost another fun game.
Right now it isn't necessarily dying as it is in a limbo. The only people left are those who probably won't leave. Also events really aren't that far apart. Apocrea happened like a month after tortodrones did. I think the reason that GH does little to nothing is because people for some reason still blow hundreds of dollars a month on this game which gives GH the idea that they'll get lots of money by doing absolutely nothing. It's like an office full of Luigis. Yes, we got that treasure vault update and I could see effort into its creation but not only was it something basically no one wanted but it was also so small for what was about a 2+ year wait. The first step GH should be making is either a huge balance overhaul or changing their business model to have at least some remote form of consumer friendliness. I do agree with the bullet points you made, but I think the reason that we only have USA and Europe servers is because that's the only ones they actually have. They'd need to buy more in different locations.
