This game was always designed to be a niche game, which just happened to get in popularity because so many people thought it was a survival game, an arena game, a pure RP game.
It is a game all its own, with the content driven by players. That is why I and many others have backed it for so long, and will continue to back it going forward.
<--- Backing it as well. Dont go by the "Player Driven" thing.
No Offense. But thats simply how Reality works.
Nobody wants to Play an Empty Game with nobody around and lots of Empty Buildings.
And this Game cannot Survive on having just the few Hundred People of the Niche it currently works into with its Mechanics.
Its fine if the Economy and everything is Purely Player Driven.
(Albeit I would always recommend adding a Market Place and a Shopkeep NPC because otherwise trading becomes a pain as you have to be Online at the same time to Sell or Buy anything making it an very tedious and annoying task...)
But you cannot run everything by Players.
A. Nobody wants to Play as a Serf.
B. You do not have nearly the amount of Players available in a Guild to actually populate a City.
Trying to Run a Game like this one without NPCs is like attempting to Sail a 3rd Rate Ship of the Line with a crew 5 People.
Its simply not going to work.
Pls dont kill this Game by making it an Empty and Dead PvP Arena. The niche of players is so incredible small that it hardly supports one such game. And we already got 10 or so on the Market....
