I can accept that.
What I can't accept is the neglect in between.
Everyone likes to hear from the creator of the game they play.
Would it take much to post in here about how things are coming along ?
Or when maybe another update would be ?
Or maybe a sneak peak or something ?
Just to keep the few that still play on the line and in the loop.
I think it would also give new players, or players that haven't started yet, something to look forward to.
Yeah it really would be nice. In order to have a successful game and to develop it further and make progress and changes, the developing team (in this case, it's just Paul??) and the player-base need to be connected.
To make any good game (and not really just limited to video games) there needs to be two-way communication and interaction.
Paul used to post, update us, give us teasers and sneak peeks....but that was in the past.
He stopped doing this because some of the community would bitch and whine about certain aspects, updates/patches, and information he would share with us. You know, the things that happen all the time in the real world, outside of the internet. I think he really took it too much to heart, and too personally. Not everyone is going to agree. Not everyone will be pleased. Not everyone will like some of the changes. You cannot please EVERYONE. That's just not how our world works. However, many of us really enjoyed hearing from him. So I guess a few bad seeds ruined it for the rest of us? Also I think some people do criticize, but much of it is constructive criticism. People giving and sharing their opinions trying to make the game better...to make improvements for a better and more enjoyable gaming experience.
We all wish he would be more active again with the community....you know, the actual community and people who play and support his game (and website).
But I guess for whatever reason(s), he chooses not to share and comment anymore.
And I'm sure I'm not the only one here who really doesn't understand WHY he chooses to be this way.
Especially since this site is basically his livelihood and his business. It doesn't seem very professional.
Many of us spend a lot of time on this site, and it would be nice if he could show us that he still cares every once-in-a-while. Like he used too...
