"Although we're not quite as large as we were a few years ago, we do still have a fantastic community on the forums which was displayed in their reaction and concern over our reducing player numbers.
It's not all doom and gloom though - despite losing a lot of players in the start of the year, we've been holding steady for the last few months.
We have learned a lot from our mistakes with version XX, and really feel that version XX1 is one of our best updates yet (mostly because the majority of new features came from player suggestions). The public beta has been invaluable in helping us test features, so we should hopefully be able to get straight back to implementing new community requests right after the release"
wow.. go figure.. Community sugestions being used to boost moral and player support of a FLASH game. PUBLIC beta testing.. HOLY COW.. really??
THIS would be my wish for 2011.. whats yours?
This is the norm for all games, old and new, high budget or no budget.

its not secret Paul doesn't make this game for the people who play it
LS is the only game I've played in the last decade(or ever probably, but I cant remember that far back) that gives off the feeling of the creator not caring at all how the people playing it feel. People(including myself) will always make bad suggestions and its a good thing that Paul doesnt go with most of them. But its at the point where hes not even a presence, and for the short time he was around often after the most recent patch, it felt like we were peasents who couldnt be bothered with. Even when we had serious issues or even the most respected members of the community spoke up about things that possibly needed to be tweeked or balanced better(not completely changed), we were lucky to even receive a response that usually didnt help and only led to angry players firing back with a usually sarcastic message with a negative undertone of somesort and being temp banned.
This is not a troll post, not a post out of rage or any other emotion that could sway or alter my thoughts and try to get a reaction out of Paul or anyone, and its not a post asking for the game to be changed to my liking. Its the way I honestly feel. Im sure most people would at the very least agree that if Paul was around more and talked to us more like fellow gamers coming together because we enjoy a similar interest, the LS forums and game itself would be a bit more enjoyable, even if you already love the game.
