Dear Regnum

I looked all through the forums today, as I do every day, and noted a few things. Most debates have died a lot of the forums have no new posts (the sparkly pretty jewels are black). This is sad, I also noted that there are not many in the forums either.

It used to be there was lively (I admit sometimes too lively ) debate and everyone was willing to help no matter what realm they were in. Now it's scoring points off each other and deleted messages. There are things wrong with the game (stating the obvious) but there is also things good about the game. The community was one of them. Now it's the same people posting and multi-threading of the same subject.

I have come to the conclusion that the community is dying and that, Dear Regnum, makes me sad.

These are my own opinions and thoughts. I hope I am wrong.

Hi Landriel,

English speaking users are active (spending almost the same time as always) but not posting as usual. My guess: Users are tired of discussing about the same subjects on and on.

My advice: Use The Inn a little more for in-game happenings. A Community forum is a place to find information about the game, but also to find what is going on with their users.

I know that there are other places that are used to talk "freely". Maybe that takes users away of the "Reply" button too.

Regards,

Come to IRC that's where all the cool kids hang out

One thing i don't like is the information policy of NGD.
They act like a huge company.
That makes it hard to feel the sympathy i have for independent (game) developers.
Please be a bit more open with information about the development process.

Hi Eli,

NGD always liked to communicate that way, but acting that way brought a lot of problems that they are hard to see by only looking to "old threads". Communicating is mostly confused with promising, thus creating false expectations among the community and then, obviously, frustration.

Gradually we are replying on a regular basis in the most important topics, but you must understand what I stated before.

Regards,

If you like to target the mass audience that is certainly a problem.

If you like to appeal to the independent crowd,
those communication problems should not exist.

To sum it up in one sentence..i miss how regnum was just a bit less than a year ago..at this precise moment in time..i have no net and its brilliant, if NGD got rid of fatigue, actually listened to the community, kept everyone up to date with future updates etc, then sadly i agree with the above post..Regnum is dying... Over and out x
