Lowest pop for a new world ever

Postby SmokedBrisket » Sun Aug 16, 2026 8:02 am

Why do you think that is? Lots of the usual suspects loving the changes. I am not sure I understand how a new world launch is scraping together less than a thousand players across 2 worlds.

Could it be that creating a complex sandbox game that attracts people that love crafting and community building and then allowing it to be overly influenced by the lowest of elements has slowly killed this dream?

I remember the early days of the internet where, as gamers, we ridiculed the keyboard warriors that would claim to know karate, and have to vacate the thread because they "needed to go workout," and "have relations?" with their hot "model" girlfriend. Here we are in a situation where two devs have placed all there eggs in the basket of these actual losers. The most prominent of this type of loser holds strange sway over this games two devs in such a way I have never seen. Search it up! This loser exits arguments because they "are gonna go workout" or "bang some slut."

The H and H development team is right now enjoying the lowest enthusiasm ever for their game because they listened to the worst of their playerbase simply because it was the loudest.

Not only that, but the moderation team is so obviously petrified of having their ingame situations sieged by the botters and forum alt warriors that they provide daily cover on the forums to remain safe. I am not gonna name names because you all know who I am talking about. Unrelated, lets have some fun with a word puzzle. Can you decode it? V _T_S. I know, tough to decipher, the prize is knowing how to not suck up to people who do not matter.

Short experimental world not to be taken seriously.
You can't take these short worlds and then compared it to when we had long worlds.

but in part, isn't that what the OP is speaking about.

True he is saying the main thing is PvP but in essence there are a lot of things that can contribute to the lack of play.

Honestly I really wish they do viewtopic.php?f=48&t=77328

At least they would finally get the data.

but maybe its all just a lil too little too late

The last "short" experimental world lasted 9-10 months lol

calling them experiment with no real trailer or hype is not as good as the old way

Pretty crazy that at any given time, more than 10% of the playerbase is playing on W16. World 16.2 is even deader than it looks lol
